Must Love Dogs
Sarah Nolan is a newly divorced woman cautiously rediscovering romance with the enthusiastic but often misguided help of her well-meaning family. As she braves a series of hilarious disastrous mismatches and first dates, Sarah begins to trust her own instincts again and learns that, no matter what, it's never a good idea to give up on love.
Critics Sentiment
Sarah and Jake meet awkwardly at dog park with borrowed dogs
Sarah has sex with Bob at hotel, discovers his rudeness afterward
The film dips to its lowest point during Bob's hotel encounter before recovering somewhat for the finale
Must Love Dogs delivers predictable romantic comedy beats that work primarily due to Cusack and Lane's natural chemistry and likable performances. The film suffers from formulaic plotting, weak supporting characters, and implausible final act moments that strain credibility. While it provides pleasant entertainment for genre fans, critics found it harmless but unremarkable.
