EA Lee Tergesen and Heather Morgan saved the movie. Both actors played their parts beautifully. The movie has a very intelligent, sensitive story line, comedy only in the traditional sense - no one dies. Was pleased also that it was not a traditional "happy, Hollywood" ending.Especially loved Lee "standing up" to the Psycho MD… won't give away the rest.Lisa Kudrow was Kudrow… Is she really that ditzy in real life, that she's always cast in absolute idiot roles? And what was with Vincent D'Onofrio? Have never seen him before so I don't know if he's just yet another idiot. His character was such a caricature. What were all those "lunatic" people there for? They didn't really add anything to the plot. The plot stood on it's own. The "nuts" were superfluous.Despite all but two of the cast, the movie is worth seeing. The theme of mental illness is extremely well and sensitively portrayed.

easlern-1 I saw this in a hotel on Showtime around 4am. Despite it being listed as a comedy, I didn't think it was all that funny and the lighter moments came at awkward times, as if the serious parts of the movie were jutted up against the "comedic" parts, which ended up feeling very awkward. It should be listed as a drama, in my opinion, because if it was supposed to be a comedy, it failed to make me laugh. One thing that was awkward was that the afflicted character seemed to serve as both comic relief and the main point of pity at the same time, and it didn't work. I couldn't take the serious parts seriously, and the funny parts didn't make me laugh. However, the storyline was original enough, and the cast decent enough (despite Lisa Kudrow's terrible job playing, well, Lisa Kudrow) to keep my attention and cause me to actually browse for it a month later on IMDb.

CitrusZ I really wanted to see this movie because it has one of my favorite actors, Lee Tergesen, in it. While he did a great job as a leading man, the movie was very slow and the plot boring. The premise could have been dealt with better, perhaps with more insight into what caused Lucy to act like a dog. Vincent DiNofrio was also very good. There were a lot of scenes in the movie that make no sense, like when Lucy's parents come to visit. The relationship between Peter and the vet (Lisa Kudrow) made no sense at all. Also, the ending leaves a giant question mark to a movie that already makes no sense. This movie isn't really worth your time, unless you want to see Lee Tergesen in a staring role.

kkestudie I like comedy. And this is a very funny film. But it is much more than just a funny film: it wraps into humor much deeper problems and situations. The characters face choices which will define their humanity, or lack there of. It deals with shame of mental ilness and remorse and love and how we can even survive all this in our crazy and lonely little word. Watch out for Vincent D'Onofrio's and Liza Kudrow's hilarious wacko perfomances. And for a very touching Lee Tergesen. Watch it.
