Must Love Dogs is a gentle romantic comedy starring Diane Lane in the role of Sarah Nolan, divorcee. It’s been some time now and Sarah’s family have decided it’s up to them to get Sarah back in the game. But discovering how to be romantic after so long isn’t the easiest thing in the world.

After some disastrous attempts at setting her up, Sarah’s sister decides to enrol her on an on-line dating service, much to Sarah’s distress. But it’s through the on-line dating service that she meets Jake.

At first meeting Jake seems like a terrible mistake. But then it seems like a perfect match. Then it all falls apart.

If some what predictable, Must Love Dogs is non the less the formula that you’ll be wanting if you are looking for a romantic comedy – predictable and feel good are must haves for a romantic night on the couch with your significant other.

With clichés abounding and laughs along the way, Must Love Dogs isn’t the most action packed of movies, it’s entertainment value is in who you’re watching it with.


Food for thought
As you’d expect, there’s not a lot of substance in a movie like this, but it does raise the question of patience. How long would we be prepared to wait for the perfect answer to our needs? Do we try and force the solution, or are we prepared to rely on a higher power to come through?
