Luke Wilson stars as a woebegone fellow who goes from one mating situation to another in DOG PARK. His gal pal has just left him and he meets Natasha Henstridge in a bar. One date, and she is done with him. He then runs into a blonde who loves to sleep around and is insatiable in the sack. Through all of this, he takes his dog to a dog park. He also is friends with co-workers Janeanne Garafalo and Bruce McCullough, who are a couple and may be getting married soon. Problem is, McCullough (also the film's writer/director) is cheating on her, which Wilson knows, much to his regret. The whole thing comes to a head in the dog park. The movie should be funnier than it is, and the drawing card -- Wilson -- sort of sleepwalks through it. Also, in reality, it is a chick flick and therefore unsuitable by viewing by real men. I made the mistake of watching it all the way through.

I'm not normally a fan of romantic comedies, actually I despise most of them (especially if they involve Tom Hanks and/or Meg Ryan)...But I really liked this movie ... the fact that I'm a big dog fan helps, but the storyline was pretty good too ... I actually cared about some of the characters and the acting wasn't bad at all ...And it was funny at times ... a trait not shared by most romantic comedies... One thing that did annoy me a little was that it's completely unbelievable that a plain guy like Andy would be getting so much action (Cheryl, Lorna and the nutritionist all wanted him at some point of the film ... yeah, that really happens), but it is a movie and thus not supposed to be very realistic. So I'll let it slide.Call me a sap, but "Dog Park" is a winner in my book ...

I thought that this movie was a bit far fetched, that it all fell together a bit to easily (as romantic comedies sometimes have a tendency to do). It's a little short on laughs, the emphasis is definitely on romance over comedy. However, Luke Wilson is, as always, charming, and overall the movie is an enjoyable, easy way to pass the time.

I wouldn't class this with The Godfather, but it's a decent way to spend an afternoon. Filled with kooks and freaks (this was after all directed by one of the "Kids in the Hall") this movie ambles about pleasantly and manages to provoke a smile or two. I much prefered the supporting players to the leads, I found Natasha Henstridge and Luke Wilson a little stiff, but that could have been the script. There are not really a lot of dogs in this movie, so if that is your thing, go see "Cats and Dogs".
