Hangdog
Walt & Wendy are boyfriend/girlfriend living together. They have just moved to Portland, Maine because her father recently suffered a heart attack. Walt is an artist type in between jobs. Wendy has a good career & has to go to New York for a few days for work business. While Wendy is away, Walt loses Tony, her precious pet rescue dog. The title of this comedy/drama refers to someone having a dejected or guilty appearance. Walt is that lovable loser desperately searching to find Tony before his girlfriend returns. He posts many missing dog flyers offering a reward. In his quest to find Tony, he meets several quirky characters like the chatty zen neighbor & the pickle/porn guy. This is an amusing story about a 30-something guy who has doubts about himself & his relationships.
Alien gives it 2½ “failing dog sitting responsibilities” stars out of 4.
