I didn't know what to expect, but this movie kept my attention, had some interesting subplots, and was genuinely sweet and funny. The lead was likable and the pug was adorable. I enjoyed Sarah's interactions with her family, her work life, and there was even some romance. If you enjoy romantic comedies or even family films featuring animals, this may be the film for you.
