Your kidding me.
wilsonajdesign4 June 2018
Steer clear of this gut wrenching poorly witen and directed film. The only positive aspect of this film is the cinematography. Otherwise this overly predictable melodramatic film seems Petter suited as a parody of a romantic comedy with such poorly created story line.

Awful movie.
bevinb-3162312 July 2020
I read the reviews and only one bad one, all the rest really good. Well the minority was so right. The plot is contrived, the acting is poor, I could hardly finish watching. And the boo-breakers or whatever they were called? Is this a cartoon? Completely ridiculous. I thought of writing a review saying that maybe if the actress who plays a director in the movie - and is called a good director - directed the movie, it would be a lot better. Then it turns out the actress who played the director in the movie WAS the director! NOT a good director.

Charming indie romantic comedy:
rossbrew7 December 2017
Dog Park was a very sweet movie. The funny story of a geeky sweet nature guy trying to keep his self-centered/user girlfriend looking after her dog while she's on vacation with someone else… and then things get complicated!

Good cinematography, amazing music (70's vibe) and a diverse cast… it a charming rom-com indie worth your time and money. I felt Jade Jenise Dixon was very convincing as "Jasmine" one the main leads and; Tennyson Shanahan as "Nick" did a great job (reminded me of Zach Woods in Silicon Valley).

I definitely enjoyed watching this Film and totally recommend it. Great job!

Heartwarming and Fun
This film made me cry those happy kind of tears! I loved Jade Jenise Dixon's character of Jasmine, but I think I'm more impressed with the fact that she also directed this! Wow- it's truly a heartwarming romantic boy meets girl, only dogs are the helpful ambassadors to their hearts. I found it light and fun and it has all the things you want in a rom com, but this feels fresher and more relatable to me. I highly recommend this wonderful film!

Such a fun movie
craigahrens17 June 2019
Oh my gosh this film was so much fun... and I could totally relate! For years I was a single dad. Well, long story short. Whenever I went to the Dog Park with my adorable Peagle, Moxie... well lets just say, he was the best "wingdog" on the planet. This movie is so damn cute and relatable for anyone. It does a great job of coupling both humor and romance. I loved the Jasmine character along with her issues! I enjoyed the chemistry she had with the lead male actor. I thought the story was well developed and it held my interest. Kudos to the director who keep things moving along at a good. So from me, clearly a thumbs up!!

Light, Fun, and Dog-Friendly!
TheAll-SeeingI5 June 2019
As an indie film enthusiast, I like my dramas heavy with implication, and my romcoms engaging and uplifting. I'm also a dog lover who once owned the most physically and spiritually beautiful dog who will ever be made, and I often wondered what my results would've look like if I had used her as my cultural ambassador in approaching women. Hmm...

No wonder then: I was an easy mark for Jade Jenise Dixon's Dog Park, which leverages the boy (and dog) meets girl theme, and puts our canine pals right there in the center of the lens where they belong. Dixon's story is well-crafted, and the production value is there, blurring the lines between big-budget indie and lower-budget major studio Hollywood. As is the case with any romantic comedy, one has to believe the two lead actors -- both as separate entities and as a proposed couple-in-the-making -- and the casting here ensures that box is well-checked.

This is a highly enjoyable indie film done exceedingly well; a testament to the craft of those involved.

Romcom + Dramedy + Dogs = YAAS!
klacayanga28 October 2017
Romance? Check. Comedy? Check. Drama? Check. DOGS? Check! I loved how this movie checked off all the genres I am interested in watching. You'll probably learn some wise life lessons while you're at it too -- I enjoyed Mary's character a lot. If you haven't watched it yet, I suggest you do!

Perfect Date Movie
echapman719 November 2023
Dog Park has an irresistible concept. A guy and girl meet cute at dog park. But the twist is, the guy's dog is actually his (not so nice) girlfriend's. Will the new girlfriend find out, and when she does, how will she react?

It's as breezy and likable as it sounds, and funny too, appealing to romcom aficionados and dog lovers alike. And I suspect there's some overlap between those two groups.

Director Jade Jenise Dixon also stars and she has real chemistry with her male lead. As director, she generously lets other actors shine. My favorite was Sarah Carson, who plays an older woman who hangs around the dog park though she doesn't own an animal, because dog spelled backwards is God. She dispenses much spot-on wisdom that helps bring our sweethearts together.

Very enjoyable romantic comedy that will put a smile on the face of all but the most jaded cynic.

Good clean fun... with dogs!
bgianci-790-7725406 June 2019
I'm not normally a rom-com type of guy but my girlfriend picked this one out the other night and I actually loved it. Probably because I'm a sucker for dog movies, lol. The acting was really good and the story was fun. I would actually watch it again if I were in a bad mood and needed a natural lift. .

Charming Romantic comedy!
Anmer939 August 2019
A really charming romantic comedy, with relatable likeable leads, witty dialogue and a great central idea. If you're after a really light hearted fun movie with gorgeous dogs, there's no better option.
