The Dog Problem Reviews:
A touching and emotionally satisfying film! 
2009-11-21 - The subtle yet powerful influence this little creature has over the lives of the humans he comes in contact with makes for an entertaining and thought provoking film. The performances of Ribisi, Collins and Caan are great! The supporting cast is also excellent and includes a sweet bit by Don Cheadle as Ribisi's therapist. Watch this film with someone you care about-smiles, hugs and a few tears of joy will be assured!
Thank you X-Men Origins: Wolverine! 
2009-10-20 - Had it not been for that inferior movie, I would not have watched this one. There are as many brilliant scenes and moments as there are cliches and cheesy ones. I ended up liking it much more than I thought I would. I stumbled upon this gem purely by chance. I had just watched X-Men Origins: Wolverine and was quite intrigued by the female lead, Lynn Collins and IMDBed her. I found out that she happened to be in this movie which got some decent reviews on Amazon so I took the plunge. I'm glad I did it. Way better than expected. I'm pretty sure watching it sober would be just as good but don't take any chances! There's some really funny stuff in there. Take the bad parts in stride, you'll still come out ahead and probably glad you did it too.
Quirky delight!
2009-08-19 - This movie was quirky, quick paced, amusing and charming. The main character's odd personality is so perfect and watching him try to bond with this dog is hysterical. I think the script was well written and the casting was perfection! Give this a try, you'll get a good laugh.
nice film 
2009-08-04 - I wouldn't call the Dog Problem a classic- but it DID have one thing in its favor that made it an above average film- it included a lot of jokes that were funny because of weird timing, odd choice of words, etc.
For example, in one scene the main character going to see his psychiatrist said the king of ALL swear words which caught the psychiatrist off guard. It was right after the guy bought something for the psychiatrist and he refused to accept it. These little moments made the film funnier than it would have been had the story not included this particular kind of humor.
This really wasn't a typical dog movie either. Not like you really felt like loving and wanting to adopt such a lovely dog, because he wasn't a particularly pretty dog (matter of taste perhaps).
The style of humor this movie was going for had its shining moment when a bunch of people suddenly decided they all wanted the dog at once in one scene at the main characters apartment, and this led to lots of funny scenes that will make more sense when you see who these characters actually are.
But there were enough storyline twists, oddly interesting characters, and other things that made the movie pretty good. The dog does something at the end that was both amazing and cute, and at the VERY end of the movie, the dog does something even more amazing.
It's not a family movie because of constant swear words being tossed around, but it's a decent movie.
Love It
2009-08-02 - I have to agree with everything others have said about this movie. I've seen it at least 5 or 6 times and just savor every moment all over again. The music is quirky but fun and just follows right along with every scene. Since watching this film, I have become a big fan of Giovanni Ribisi. He is adorable in this film and his best friend Casper(Scott Caan) is funny, witty and very supportive. It's a perfect for all the actors.
