    Lovely, funny movie

    I felt good watching this movie, I'm not so into rom-coms, but this one I wanted to give a try, because of the dogs . The duo cast was great with good chemistry, the dogs were super cute and it had many laughing moments as well.

    The plot was like many we've seen in other movies but was writen nicely and the pace was just on point.

    The movies discusses what we encounter in our society today, whay we have to do, to get out of comfort zone and the many aspects of our life when we make the responsible decision to adopt dogs and what it brings along with it.

    I recommend this movie for anyone who's looking to have a fun time, on date night or chill afternoon etc.

    7 stars out of 10 for me.

    Surprised about others reviews

    I dont think this a likeable film. I watched because I typically adore films with pups, because I love my dog, but this didn't do it for me. The characters are equally annoying. I'm surprised to see how many people loved it. Not my kind of rom com, I guess. I'm happy others found joy in it though. They obviously worked hard on the project, but I wouldn't recommend it to anyone. It has moments that are indeed "cute," as others have said, but the annoying outweighs the positive. I'm normally pretty easy to please. Not a movie buff by any means, but definitely a connoisseur and out of sheer "not wanting to be rude" because people worked hard on it, I gave it a 5-star review. Otherwise, I'd give it less.

    feel good, sweet movie

    This was so, so freaking cute. I thought the depiction of anxiety in the guy was accurate, relatable and kinda refreshing for a rom com - I feel like you don't normally see that in rom coms. I am easy to please with movies, especially love stories, so take this review with a grain of salt. But it made me happy and teary and ready to get back on the dating apps again. Some extremely funny lines in the script. The doggos are adorable, especially Chloe but I may be biased because Cavalier spaniels are my fav dog breed. Just an overall very cute watch and Grant Gustin is very handsome too so that helps.

    Doggy ... love?

    I reckon they could not use a different title - it would not be the right ... style! No puns intended here as always. And this is supposed to be a romantic movie - and it is actually. Lucy Hale seems to be right for these kinds of movies and roles. She really is sweet, beautiful and talented enough to carry those movies.

    Of course the scripts have to be at least good. And the movies I've seen with her - well she chose wisely I reckon. Of course you have to like these types of movies - makes no sense watching this, if you don't like ... well if you have to watch it, because your partner is into it ... that's a different story. Still try to enjoy it. It's light and fun - and yes predictable ... that never is really an issue here ... add some dogs and you get some more love out of it.

    "What the f planet do you guys live on?"

    I watched for Lucy Hale.

    Grant got really big and I barely recognized him from the Flash! And while he was given a fidgety character, he is somehow charming in it and makes it work. Overall, no part is annoying (though parts are right on the line of weirdly fun and skippable, like the ASMR restaurant or the "Doggie Lamaze" scenes), is decently written, properly executed and well shot! Though some stuff feels superficial.. Additionally, the rest of the cast is quite likeable and some of the characters are even fun.

    Overall, a watchable romance story with lots of dog-themed scenes that help a couple get together.. when they would otherwise not even have the chance. Pets work, people! Pets work.
