How not to write a script
When you see Gere pick up the dog at the station save yourself some time. Zip forwards fifty minutes you won't miss a bloody thing.
No chemistry between Gere and the Dog, nothing goes on but a bunch of trivial family banal nonsense. I was praying the dog would go mad or get distemper or something to add SOME kind of drama to the film.
Don't watch without a mobile phone so you can text or play Candy Crush or something.
