The story follows newlyweds who purchase a discount dog and how it helps or hinders them through their lives.
I believe the book it's based on is good, but watching this movie was a waste of time. The few doggie antics were cute, and of course, there were tearjerker moments. Alan Arkin as Editor Arnie Klein gave some fine acting and held much of the story together. Jennifer Aniston, 40 at the time of the film, is starting to look her age.
Anyway, if you have some free time and enjoy a good, depressing Hallmark-style movie, this one is for you. If you're expecting one of those cute, mindless Disney-type films, forget it. Overall, you can tell they put some effort into making this film.
I only watched the Blu-ray version, so I can't compare, but it seems like a commentary is missing.
