Amazon.com:
The combined charisma of Diane Lane and John Cusack gives a lift to Must Love Dogs, a romantic comedy built on the comic potential of internet dating. Sarah (Lane, Under the Tuscan Sun), a preschool teacher and recent divorcee, has her entire family bugging her to get back in the dating pool. Finally her sister (dependable second banana Elizabeth Perkins, Big) puts an ad for Sarah online; a host of questionable prospects respond, but Sarah meets one guy--a boat builder named Jake (John Cusack, High Fidelity, Say Anything)--who shows promise, though he himself is recently divorced and a little tender. Unfortunately, Sarah also feels sparks with the father (Dermot Mulroney, My Best Friend's Wedding) of one of her students, and when paths cross, trouble follows. Must Love Dogs has some amusing scenes, but the tone and quality is wildly erratic--it's as if the movie was broken into a dozen parts and randomly assigned to different writers and directors, some of whom were making a bad sitcom, some of whom were making a good sitcom, and some of whom were making a movie that blended wry comedy with some deft psychological insight. The great cast (in addition to solid work from those mentioned above, there's also Stockard Channing and Christopher Plummer) keep the story moving, but for every amusing moment there are two that are plastic, forced, or wince-inducing. --Bret Fetzer

Customer Reviews

Average Rating: out of 5 stars

Rating:

- A slightly generous four stars
This is a predictable, yet still mostly clever, romantic comedy. The heroine is recently divorced and not quite ready to admit she wants to start dating. Her meddlesome family is fairly endearing, the scenes with the losers they set her up with are mostly comical, and we do start to root for the romance to blossom. But it unravels a bit near the end. We know she's going to go back to the hero and the delays seem forced, almost like they had leftover dating scenes from the beginning that they ... Read More

- I am so sick of movies like this!
I am so tired of movies where the entire plot seems to revolve around sex. In this case how long its been since the main character had it, how much her siblings encourage her to get it from anyone, how much can the guys get and how many girls can they get it from, etc. This entire movie was like this from start to finish. I didn't even care that the girl ended up with her guy at the end.

Rating:

- Close
This one has all the ingredients for a decent girl movie. All the right stars, the predictable story. Sadly it falls short. It was entertaining enough mainly because of a stellar cast. But the story was same old same old and I really didn't find myself getting behind any of the characters. There are some nice moments, but just not enough to sustain this attempt at a romantic comedy.

Rating:

- Internet Dating and All Its Drama
Diane Lane is a preschool teacher whose recent divorce has everyone in her life pushing her to get out more. Enter the world of online dating and another recent divorce John Cusack. The sparks fly but both are off to a rocky start with side romances and meddling friends. A romaedy about the clicks and crashes when you surf the web for love.

Rating:

- A must have for chick-flick lovers
True, the story is more predictable them most, but it's still a cute movie. The script is well written and this shows through in the performances by Cusack, Lane, and Plummer. This is not an academy award winner, and shouldn't be criticized as one that could have been. It's a story about two people who lost, by divorce, what they perceived as their 'one true love', only to find that dating today is more of a miss then a hit.

As far as character development, I found little flaw in them ... Read More
