Reviews
Despite its engaging premise, The Dog Lover falls short in execution according to critics. Rotten Tomatoes gives it a low rating of 20%, labelling it as 'Rotten' based on 10 reviews. The critical consensus on the site states, 'The Dog Lover's good intentions are overshadowed by its formulaic plot and lack of depth.' Metacritic provides a slightly higher rating of 35/100, indicating mixed or average reviews from 7 critics. IMDb users have rated the film 5.4/10, with some praising its message about animal welfare but criticizing its predictable storyline and character development. Some reviewers appreciate Allison Paige's performance as Sara Gold, embodying the moral conflict with conviction. Overall, The Dog Lover seems to have missed the mark in delivering a compelling narrative that effectively tackles its subject matter.
