Film Review – Puppy Love

“Puppy Love” has all the elements of the usual Lifetime Movie routine. It deals with good-looking actors playing neurotic people, offers a plot detailing the development of romantic feelings between opposites, and the story mostly presents easily solvable problems featuring characters who refuse to get out of their own way, despite ample reminders to do so. The big addition here are dogs, with cute animals a common sight in the picture, and there’s a strange creative choice to make such a fluffy concoction into an R-rated comedy, bringing some coarseness to material that’s usually played as easy on the senses as possible. “Puppy Love” is diet cinema at best, but the screenplay (somehow credited to five writers) is rough to endure, supplying dreadful scenes of “charm” and “funny” scenarios, with the endeavor bringing hard bad sitcom energy to a feature-length exercise in pure tedium.
