Very fluffy, and you'd better like dogs

If your favorite song in the world is The Lovin' Spoonful's "Darlin' Companion," then you'll probably want to rent the cutesy comedy that promoted the song during its trailer. Since the movie isn't very good, you'd better like the song to keep you going. Also, you'd better be a dog person, or at least someone who can understand someone else's love of dogs. If you don't like animals and you don't like the 1960s groovy tune, you're going to be in for a rough night.Diane Keaton gets to reprise her quirky empty-nester character she perfected in Something's Gotta Give, and Kevin Kline gets to have another rocky marriage in a Lawrence Kasdan movie. In this one, he's a workaholic and doesn't understand his wife's irrational attachment to a stray, mangy dog she picked up off the side of the road. Sounds so much different than his lawyer from Grand Canyon who indulges his wife's affection for an abandoned baby she found off the side of the road, doesn't it? All kidding aside, because even the very best storytellers borrow plot points from their earlier works, this movie is very different from Grand Canyon. It's very light, with a comic relief married couple provided the majority of the entertainment. Dianne Wiest and Richard Jenkins make a very cute couple, and they have some funny scenes together to take your mind off of Diane Keaton's silly antics. If you're just in the mood for something fluffy, this one won't hurt you.

A Quiet Film with a Good Family Element

Here's The Lowedown on "Darling Companion" (A Drama DVD review)...Liked It!Become a fan of The Lowedown on Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/#!/pages/The-Lowedown/386583633764Genre: 6 Movie: 6What's it about? Beth (Diane Keaton) saves a bedraggled lost dog from the side of the freeway on a wintry day in Denver. Struggling with her distracted, self-involved husband Joseph (Kevin Kline) and an empty nest at home, Beth forms a special bond with the rescued animal.What did I think? Not the fastest moving film ever made, but it was a nice touching story. It seems to be all about this stray dog, when in fact it was about a family healing itself through an outside source. This movie is worth the rental, if you are in the mood for a quiet film with a good family element.

Beth Winter (Diane Keaton) rescues a lost dog from the side of a road. Her husband Joseph (Kevin Kline) is a self-important surgeon. Beth brings the dog Freeway home and her daughter Grace (Elisabeth Moss) falls for the vet. At Grace's wedding in the mountains, their nephew Bryan (Mark Duplass) develops a crush on Carmen (Ayelet Zurer) who runs the place. Joseph's sister Penny (Dianne Wiest) has a new boyfriend Russell (Richard Jenkins) who is using her money to start a pub. Joseph carelessly loses the dog in the woods. It sets off a big search for Freeway.I'm not sure if the stakes are high enough here. It's a bunch of family members with minor issues looking for a dog. It's not like the audience grows to love the dog. It's more of an excuse for each family member to work out their issues. Lawrence Kasdan and his wife have created the lightest and mildest of family drama. The great cast of actor showed up to play but the writing is not up to the task.
