    It's a frisky romantic comedy with a great title and wonderfully appealing performances.
  2. The movie does find fresh ways to tweak the formula, making it more than the sum of its broad strokes.
  3. Did Lane and John Cusack really have to put themselves through this? Here are two first-rate actors in the embarrassing situation of playing blithering misfits in a lame comedy of errors.

    I laughed the entire time. Great chemistry and John Cusack is his usual rumpled, hilarious self.

    Totally unnecessary and inconsequential, Must Love Dogs is pleasant enough to be palatable. The cast deserves much better material.

    Bland and flat. The characters have no chemistry. It's filled with tired romantic comedy chestnuts, like the family that suddenly bursts into a choreographed song at the dinner table. The dog angle was barely used and felt tacked on. It's like a computer created a bad Nora Ephron cloned movie, and this was the result. Expand
