let me start by saying i do not recall laughing once during this comedy. from the opening scene and our protagonist solo (giovanni ribisi) shows himself to be a self absorbed and feeble and and neurotic loser completely unable to cope with the smallest responsibilities such as balancing a checkbook and keeping his word and or forming a coherent thought. i guess were supposed to be drawn to his fragile vulnerability and cheer him on through the process of clawing his way out of a deep depression. i guess were supposed to sympathize as he stumbles through a series of misadventures seemingly triggered by his purchase of a dog and but in reality brought on by his own contemptible nature. i do not get the slightest hint at any point that solo ever possessed any redeeming character and which became disturbingly apparent when he failed to feed his dog for a few days. no spark of humanity or glimmer of conscience gave me hope that he would ever realize his life is so utterly miserable because he a self absorbed and self pitying lowlife. i do not develop any connection with this character. he do not seem to care and and so neither did i. i actually wanted him to get his kneecaps busted at one point. the dog was not a character in the film. it was simply a prop to be used and neglected and scorned and abused and coveted and disposed of on a whim. so be warned. even though dog is in the title and this film is not a romantic comedy for dog lovers. scott caan role is amusing and believable as the oversexed best friend or cad. don cheadle is sincere and magnetic  i always want to see more of him on screen. mena suvari was delightfully repellent. lynn collins role of a stripper with a heart was well acted and but the character was simultaneously absurd and clichéd and not to mention there was zero chemistry between her and ribisi. romantic. hardly. comedy. if you say so.
