I can’t remember the last time I laughed that hard watching a film.

I cannot wrap my head around the point of this movie. None of the characters feel like anything

There should be a Marley and Me spinoff about Edward. It could be called Edward and Me.
I have a book I got as a kid about dogs in films. The Corgi that played Edward was featured in it. I knew that if I ever watched this film, it would be for nostalgic reasons, as weird as that sounds. That, and I love Geena Davis.
For an Oscar winning film and a Best Picture nominee, I found this film to be mid. It’s not bad, but it’s like one of those random films that would play on a tv cable channel on a weekend. Nothing really special to be honest. The acting was ok. In my opinion, for an Oscar winning performance, Geena’s performance wasn’t really Oscar worthy. Her performance in Thelma and Louise was better.
The best part of this film was the dog’s performance. He should’ve won instead of Geena!

The first movie of the new year is The Accidental Tourist. I found this to be slow and dull at times but Geena Davis and Bill Pullman uplifted the story and feeling of this movie.
