Must Love Dogs - Movie Review

A thirty-something kindergarten teacher becomes convinced by her sisters that it's time to get over her divorce of eight months ago and start dating again. One of the sisters posts the teacher's picture and profile on an internet dating site and the responses come pouring in. Most of the guys turn out to be losers, but there is one potential winner she finds online. Also, she makes the acquaintance of the divorced father of one of her students and finds herself having to choose between the two.

This is a total chick flick that Shawnna didn't even enjoy very much. The plot wasn't original in the least - a woman who has had her heart broken decides it's time to start dating again and searches for a good guy. There is no suspense as you can tell what's going to happen before it happens and you know who she's going to end up with. There are some funny scenes, but this is mostly a boring movie with no plot twists and it ends exactly the way you imagine - ZZZzzzzz...

Rating: 2 of 5 stars
Would I watch it again: No
Starring: Diane Lane, John Cusack, Elizabeth Perkins

I typically watch movies on Monday, Wednesday and Friday while riding the ACE Train from Tracy to Santa Clara. The opinions expressed are those of me, myself and I.

Had this one figured out before the beginning credits ended. Cusack's performance was a good reminder of how good Say Anything was. This film wasn't . . . Zzzzzz.

1.5 of 5 rating with no hope of wanting to watch it again.
