Must Love Dogs (2005)

Genre: Romantic Comedy

Directed by: Gary David Goldberg

Cast: Diane Lane, John Cusack, Elizabeth Perkins

Running time: 98 minutes

Sarah and Jake are both having a tough time after their respective divorces, and both of their entourages are doing their best to get them both back in the dating world. When their paths cross, nothing comes easy, but maybe it is worth a try.

Diane Lane and John Cusack are both good and loveable in their respective roles. It is easy to root for these two to get together, but there is something missing in the material given to the actors to make this film truly great. This movie is loaded with clichés and ends up being a very uninspired package of predictable cheese-fest.

Must Love Dogs gets the passing grade from me, mostly due to the performance of the two main actors, but there are much better romantic comedies out there.
