Producers Jessica Biel & Michelle Purple, Director Bill Purple, and screenwriter Howard Kingkade could teach a master class in the often ignored film-making dictum "keep it simple." Deep subtext and emotion can be raised from the simplest of stories, like here, where a lonely man falls in love with a dog. It's a simple story, beautifully executed, without a cynical bone in it's whole body. Unabashedly sentimental. Nice too, to see the emotion so thoroughly trump the logic. You never stop and ask how certain coincidences happen. You're just too wrapped up in that damned dog. Outstanding and inspiring. When I saw, "I Now Pronounce You Chuck and Larry," I thought to myself: Jessica Biel deserves better.
This. This is better.
