2.0 out of 5 stars FEATHER-WEIGHT ROMP, April 14, 2005

This review is from: Dawg (DVD)

Yet another on the list of corny comedies, summed up aptly by its line, "I was there, she was horny, it's called timing."

But that doesn't make a review, so an attempt must be made.

We start with a script slimmer than Bill Clinton's book of good conduct. A curiously sumptuous lawyer, played by Liz Hurley, informs Mr. Doug (the 'Dawg' of the title I suppose though it's unclear) that he must apologize to all the women he has whammed bammed thank you ma'amed before he can avail of his late grandmother's plush inheritance.

In a heartbeat our lawyer and client have strapped themselves to white leather seats in a ragtop Merc convertible and set sail around the mounts of southern California (which we see in the same persnickety shot about ten times) to catch up with a choice coterie of has-been girlfriends.

Unchanged attire would suggest all this riding happens in one day but what's logic to do in these circumstances. We keep watching to discover how these "ex" women might have turned out. No two of them are alike, the ensemble of eccentricity is interesting. A few expected botches later things take a smooth turn and predictably Lawyer & Client Inc ends up bonding like spit and tobacco.

Just so things don't end up too simple though, a twist is chucked in as an afterthought but sadly it's a little too little too late. I'd catch it on cable when three laughs per hour were not unacceptable.

2.0 out of 5 stars Not as good as I had hoped. DOUBLE WHAMMY is much better., April 13, 2004

This review is from: Dawg (DVD)

*DAWG* The chemistry just isn't as good in DAWG as it is in DOUBLE WHAMMY(which also stars Denis Leary and Elizabeth Hurley). In DAWG they're way too opposite with conflicting agendas that they never made that love connection like I kept expecting. It just left a bad taste in my mouth at the end of the movie. I must admit there's a pretty good twist that I didn't see coming. But, looking back, it's kind of obvious. I just wasn't looking for it, I kept thinking they would fall in love or something like that. Sometimes a good twist can save a movie, for me, but it didn't warrant enough bite for me to appreciate the entire movie.
Anyway, it's not a horrible movie, it's just not as good as DOUBLE WHAMMY. Perhaps, if I'd seen DAWG first, I may have liked it better. But I doubt it, seeing DOUBLE WHAMMY 2nd would have simply persuaded me back to this original conclusion anyway. I wouldn't recommend it unless you get it at a deep-discounted price.

4.0 out of 5 stars The Key Word Here is FUN., July 22, 2006

By 

Lovely to See You (Out There Somewhere) - See all my reviews

This review is from: Dawg (DVD)

I like Denis Leary. I like Elizabeth Hurley. That said, I like this quirky little comedy about a jerk who gets exactly what he deserves when he goes cross country with a beautiful woman to get exactly what he deserves from--well, at least the last few ex-girlfriends he treated like garbage. This is a slightly gross, semi-sentimental, and all out logically funny and sexy romp for every guy who ever went down this road, and a satisfying outcome for every woman who ever wished that wayfaring male would get exactly what he's got coming to him. Great fun for us girls, and a good lesson to certain men out there who may recognize themselves in this little venture. Guaranteed big laughs and some surprisingly touching moments without being a chick flick.
