Editorial Review:
Must Love Dogs tells the story of Sarah Nolan (Diane Lane) a newly divorced woman cautiously rediscovering romance with the enthusiastic but often misguided help of her well-meaning family. As she braves a series of hilarious disastrous mismatches and first dates Sarah begins to trust her own instincts again and learns that. no matter what it's never a good idea to give up on love.Running Time: 98 min.Format: DVD MOVIE Genre: COMEDY UPC: 012569593459 Manufacturer No: 59345
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

Rating:  - Great movie
I liked this movie alot.It is one of the funniest movies I've watched in a long time.I am also a Diane Lane fan, I thing she did a superb job. The rest of the cast pulled all together. Worth the time to watch !
Rating:  - BORING...
Incredibly slow moving; I almost turned it off mid way. What I did like about it was the interaction Sarah had with her sisters and her father. Other than that, it is low on plot and they could have finished the movie in about 45 minutes. Great actors, poor movie.
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
Rating:  - 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.
