Plot: Amy (Melinda Page Hamilton) and John (Bryce Johnson) are about to become engaged, and in deciding to be completely honest with her husband-to-be, reveals a bizarre sexual indiscretion she experienced while she was in college. All the clichés of "I feel like I can tell you anything" are about to come crashing down…
Review: Written in 3 days by screechy, spastic comedian Bobcat Goldthwait, this 2006 dark romantic comedy doesn't bother to hide its budget in anyway shape or form, but makes up for its technical flaws with a break through performances by Melinda Page Hamilton (Amy) and Jack Plotnick (Dougie), as well as a quirky, and often times endearing, script.
Since its release 4 years ago, critics have wrestled back and forth with the over the top sexual indiscretion that the lead character commits on her closest canine companion, but the outrageous act and 'what-the-fuck' humor attached to the idea never take away from the body of the film. Once you get over the initial shock, the flick's eccentric characters tackle relationship awkwardness, family, and views on morality with an odd sort of charm that will hold your attention and spark a few smiles.
Recommended to: Couples that share a dark sense of humor and guys that have been asked the infamous pre-marital question, "would you marry a girl that ______ a dog?"
