Comedy drama about a woman who inherits her grandmother's dog.
Shaggy dog stories don’t come much more threadbare than this.
The entire thing is so relentlessly bright and breezy that, much like the scrunchy-faced pooch himself, it eventually wins you over, even if it never quite delivers the promised laughs.
It’s a film jam-packed with very good actors and big names, and suffused with a puppyish willingness to please. But where is the bite?
A schoolteacher inherits her grandmother’s predictably life-changing pug in this lame comedy.
