Year of the Dog - Movie Review

"Year of the Dog"

Quickcard Review

Jeff: 'Year of the Dog' good for a few laughs, a lot of discomfort

Plot: Peggy (Molly Shannon) is a friendly co-worker, aunt and most importantly, dog lover. When her dog Pencil suddenly dies, Peggy tries to find her place in a world she isn't socially comfortable in.

Who's it for: Dog and animal lovers. Actually, that's not strong enough, you need to be obsessed. If you look at your pet and say, "Does mommy need to take you outside for a tee-tee," then this is your film. Also, Mike White wrote and directed this and it feels very similar to his other screenplays, "The Good Girl," and "Chuck & Buck."
