Year of the Dog (2007) starring Molly Shannon, Peter
Sarsgaard, Regina King, John C. Reilly, Laura
Dern. Shannon plays Peggy, an upbeat secretary whose life takes a nosedive when her beloved dog, Pencil, suddenly dies. Although it is billed as a comedy, I found this movie rather sad. Peggy tries to fill her empty life with her love of animals, especially dogs. Given the right treatment, this theme might have made a moving film; but here, it's told in vignettes that don't really fit together.
Grade: C+
