Movie Review – Must Love Dogs (2005) – 5 Stars

I have tasted true cinematic genius, and its name is Gary David Goldberg. This film is quite simply 98 minutes of the greatest writing, cinematography and acting I’ve ever experienced. Cusack’s take on ‘Jake’ brought tears to my eyes, and I couldn’t help but feel that my life was tied in to the simple struggle for happiness that Diane Lane’s ‘Sarah’ experiences. I know that this film was nominated for a Golden Trailer for Best Romance, but I can’t help but think the Academy must have had an ulterior motive for ignoring it for the major awards. It’s a masterpiece.
