If you're looking for more comedy styling of Kids in the Hall, skip this film. This film has wonderful acting by Luke Wilson, Janeane Garafalo, Natasha Henstridge, Bruce McCulloch, Kathleen Robertson, and Kristen Lehman.
Even the cameo actors shine like diamonds in this piece. Michael McManus has a walk-on as Derrick the waiter and if ever a man demonstrated that he didn't want to serve a table, he sold it perfectly.
Andy (Luke Wilson) is a journalist who's been in relationships without a break since grade eight. His girlfriend, Cheryl (Kathleen Robertson), has just left him for Trevor, taking with her their dog. Andy meets Lorna (Natasha Henstridge) unaware that her ex-boyfriend is Trevor. Lorna spurns Andy after a bad first date and regrets it immediately.
Andy has a wild and frightening relationship with Kieran (Kristen Lehman). One of the funniest lines in the film come from this strange interchange. Harland Williams as the quirky Cullum is a bright spot as an oddball date for lovelorn Lorna.
Most of these damaged people own maladjusted dogs. They visit the same dog park and they all go to the same dog psychiatrist (Mark McKinney). The dog shrink is the touchstone for all the lunacy in the film.
There are LOL moments and subtle humour. There is a single Kids in the Hall moment. It's quite subtle. Don't blink or you'll miss it.
Will there be a happy ending? Will Andy and Cheryl reconcile? Will Peanut the dog learn to come when she's called? Will Lorna die single and unloved? I'll never tell.
