Review of Bark!

Bark! (2002)
6/10
Pretty captivating, even if it's not first-rate material
25 May 2005
I saw this in a hotel on Showtime around 4am. Despite it being listed as a comedy, I didn't think it was all that funny and the lighter moments came at awkward times, as if the serious parts of the movie were jutted up against the "comedic" parts, which ended up feeling very awkward. It should be listed as a drama, in my opinion, because if it was supposed to be a comedy, it failed to make me laugh. One thing that was awkward was that the afflicted character seemed to serve as both comic relief and the main point of pity at the same time, and it didn't work. I couldn't take the serious parts seriously, and the funny parts didn't make me laugh. However, the storyline was original enough, and the cast decent enough (despite Lisa Kudrow's terrible job playing, well, Lisa Kudrow) to keep my attention and cause me to actually browse for it a month later on IMDb.
