A Dog's Breakfast (2007)

Too much of everything

Highly Overrated But Still Good

This is a small, humorous movie in some ways, but it has a huge heart. What a nice experience.

This movie tries so hard to be funny, yet it falls flat every time. Just another example of recycled ideas repackaged with women in an attempt to appeal to a certain audience.

Delightful with the reviews posted already telling many reasons why, "A Dog's Breakfast" does telegraph the ending early but the playing out is deadpan fun. The film works at all levels from cinematography to editing, to acting, to music, and all else. There is not a wasted line, a wasted frame, or a failed turn in plot.At first, I felt a tad put off by Patrick but then I related him to eccentric people I know and fell into watching the story play out with a final playful twist or turnabout.By the way, I loved the sister character and actress. She is delightful.Music by Tim Williams is a key player. The editing by Jason Schneider never has a bad cut.This movie is much better than many highly promoted and expensively made films.

This must be one of the weirdest movies I've ever seen and I loved it! This movie proves that you don't need a giant budget and lots of special effects to make a great film. Staying at the one location the entire time with a limited pool of actors.The humor is amazing and the acting is great, it was very funny to me to see the stargate actors out of their usual characters but they did a splendid job. David Hewlett, as always, did not once look like he was acting. I really admire the way he becomes the person he's pretending to be. Looking forward to seeing a lot more of you David!I enjoyed this movie a lot and it's one I've been recommending to everyone since the moment I saw it, it may take a while to get used to the unusual style but once you're in the rhythm you won't regret it!A very well deserved 8 from me.

I'm about to confess something no Stargate: Atlantis fan should ever confess: I didn't like "A Dog's Breakfast." I thought the humor was forced and stale for the most part. A lot if it seemed almost cutesy, which is weird for a movie like this. The plot was incredibly predictable, although some of the situational comedy was not.I only really found crossdressing Paul McGillion funny, because he did it so well. Oh, and the sci-fi spoof that he was supposed to be starring in. But honestly, David Hewlett was playing a character altogether too similar to Rodney McKay, except ten times dumber, which is not a good thing, in my opinion.Although, admittedly, Chris Judge's couple of scenes were hilarious. Almost worth sitting through the boring, forced mess that is the rest of the film, which has an almost Home Alone meets Sweeney Todd feel, without the stirring musical numbers (which it might have been able to use).Overall, I think Hewlett was just trying too hard.

Well, this was probably the worst movie I saw in the last 2 years. It started off pretty weird, gives the impression of a cheap local production. As it continues, I kept asking myself if the scenes I'm watching are just a dream of the terrible mind-freaked main character. Most of them weren't.I constantly threatened to leave the room, but, unfortunately, my friends made me stay to see the pathetic ending.Now, if you excuse me, I'm going to throw up. Please, don't watch this movie.
