Product Description
From 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

Must love Lane, Cusack,
By
This review is from: Must Love Dogs (Full Screen) (DVD)
I'll admit right up front that Diane Lane is by far and away my favorite actress (or actor). And I've always liked John Cusack as well. In past films, they both have played likeable, albeit conflicted characters that one can empathize with very easily. I went into this film with high expectations, and, for once, I wasn't disappointed: a romantic comedy that didn't insult my intelligence. The dialogue was actually funny not stupid, the characters believable not cartoonish. Lane and Cusack worked well together, and their geninue chemistry came through. This is not the hot, 'passion' driven, almost obessional erotic type connection we've seen from some of Diane's other films, but a realistic one that works and still entertains. Perhaps Diane Lane is still resting after "Unfaithful"...;)?!The only criticism concerns the editing: it came off (just a bit) like a series of very well thought out sequences, but I could see the seams holding the story in place. Nevertheless, if you like a comedy that's classy, warm, smart, and comes by its humor honestly, you'll really like this film.

A Must See Movie,,
By
This review is from: Must Love Dogs (Widescreen) (DVD)
If you are looking for a funny romantic comedy, I recommend 'Must love Dogs.' Diane Lane and John Cusack are at their best in this humorous romantic comedy that you'll want to watch again and again. I'm surprised at the negative reviews that this movie has on Amazon, as I absolutely loved the movie.It's a very sweet must see!!Rose DesRochers

Another great Diane Lane Movie!,
By A Customer
This review is from: Must Love Dogs (DVD)
A cute story about a woman who just can't seem to find the perfect guy so she ends up trying "online dating". It's not quite as good as "Under the Tuscan Sun" but it's still worth watching. John Cusack is really likable in this movie too.
