The Japanese elements were so unique. With that came a fun and unique soundtrack. The composition was brilliantly visual. I loved the colors against the desert pallet. The big burly wrestlers, so sweet, and that was a surprise! So many great little pieces of authenticity in the native characters. great humor -- so many hysterical moments. The dog bits were such a delight. I loved the opening credits, very charming, which foretold the tone of the film. And on top of all that, I was captivated by a powerful story about a girl trapped in her own life. This has all the makings of a really fun cult classic. I would love to see a theater of people watching, dressed up like the characters. so fun! The world needs more fun silliness filled with authentic truth. Well done!

What a fun wonderful movie! I attended the NYC premier and was very pleasantly surprised about the fun and creativity seen throughout the movie. I've never classified my self as a dog lover, more of a "tolerator," but I left the movie loving dogs, embracing the improbable, and feeling uplifted after a nice and fresh romantic comedy.A few surprising twists and turns kept me guessing until the end, and the chemistry between the actors was great- especially the beautiful Rosalie Thomass and the giant-of-a-man Matt Bloom.Thanks to the writers and producers for giving us a real treat! I hope to see more of their work soon.

This is a movie that has something for everyone.....relationships, dogs, wrestling, humor, business drama, jazz, and many unique characters. The movie is rare in the fact that it has ability to feel independent and quirky but appeal to a very mass audience. The movie is set in Arizona and involves a professional wrestler who meets a German business woman through their pet bulldogs. She is in Arizona on business to potentially shutdown a local food manufacturing facility and layoff the local workers. Her father is an overbearing CEO who demands her to only focus on the company. As you can imagine all the elements intertwine in a charming colorful story. I think viewers will enjoy this movie, yet appreciate that it is refreshingly creative and unique.

Highly recommend this film to dog lovers, wrestling fans, and general cinephiles. It's a fun and quirky rom-com about a clash of cultures and two pet-owners who go to extremes to celebrate their love for animals and eventually find romance. Set in the mystical landscape of Arizona, the story takes you on a peyote trip and underscores a need to support the disenfranchised Native American population. There's even a skosh of Japanese culture represented in the musice score and cosplay. Did I mention a pickle factory? Very eccentric film. Especially loved how it reverses gender roles of the two protagonists without stereotyping. The title sequence with dozens of dog photos in fancy tuxedos and wedding gowns was very well done. Can't wait to see the sequel!
