*Woof*

Considering once i go back to uni i'll be tv-less, i've been stocking up on the idiot box so i'll survive the next semester. Have always been meaning to catch this movie, sadly timing always tak ngam. Finally today i was in the right place at the right time for :




















And i enjoyed it very much...Yeah yeah, it's a romantic comedy but before saying "Ugh, they're all the same and fake..bla bla.." this one is the same but different, and since pretty much every movie is fake, who cares?

Besides, it has this plus point




*semi swoon*








Even knowing that i know i know how the endings will be, i'll still watch these kinda movies. And what i liked about Must Love Dogs was the interaction between the 2main characters, and the family scenes.

The dialogue is great, and there are several lines that were mini-bombs


Carol: Where are your boob shirts?
[holds up Sarah's sweaters]
Sarah: What?
Carol: Your *boob* shirts!
Christine: Don't worry, I brought some of mine!


Jake: i think your heart grows back bigger ya know, once you get the shit beat out of you. And the universe lets your heart expand that way, cause thats the function of all this pain and heartache that you go through and you gotta go through that to come out to a better place


Jake: It's a long story, something about the violation of expectations and a crushing loss of faith, and love, and life, and art.
Bill: So it's a girl?
Jake: Yes.
Bill: I've had a little bit of girl trouble myself lately. But it is better to have loved and lost, am I right?
Jake: She was a unique constellation of attributes; she was my Hallie's comet. But the universe is designed to break your heart, right?
Bill: A philosopher as well as an artist, yes, it is we who suffer most.
Jake: Yes, with the possible exception of the victims of violent crime



Wah. How come in reality i never hear guys coming up with those types of lines - She was a unique constellation of attributes; she was my Hallie's comet. *melt*

There was a nice part where the father recites a poem of William Butler Yeats called

Brown Penny
I whispered, 'I am too young,'
And then, 'I am old enough';
Wherefore I threw a penny
To find out if I might love.
'Go and love, go and love, young man,
If the lady be young and fair.'
Ah, penny, brown penny, brown penny,
I am looped in the loops of her hair.

O love is the crooked thing,
There is nobody wise enough
To find out all that is in it,
For he would be thinking of love
Till the stars had run away
And the shadows eaten the moon.
Ah, penny, brown penny, brown penny,
One cannot begin it too soon.


O, if only i could recite power poems that can suit the moment. Sure blow everyone away...

Or at least the 1/4 that understand la...
