Puppy Love Review: A Quirky Rom-Com with Paws and Potential
When it comes to romantic comedies, the genre has a tendency to follow a familiar formula: two unlikely individuals are thrown together by chance, their initial interactions are marked by awkwardness and misunderstanding, and eventually, they find their way to each other amidst a flurry of laughter and heartwarming moments. Puppy Love, directed by Nick Fabiano and Richard Alan Reid, attempts to put a unique twist on this tried-and-true formula by introducing the canine factor. While the film brings a fresh element to the genre with its adorable furry co-stars and a premise that has the potential for comedic gold, it struggles to rise above the surface, ultimately leaving viewers with a film that's cute but forgettable.

The story centers around Nicole Matthews (Lucy Hale) and Max Stevenson (Grant Gustin), two individuals who couldn't be more different from each other. Nicole is a free-spirited, wild-child with a penchant for spontaneity, while Max is a socially-anxious introvert who prefers the company of his furry friend. After a disastrously awkward first date, they both decide to mutually delete each other's contact information and move on with their lives. However, fate has other plans in store for them, as their dogs unexpectedly find a connection, leading to a whirlwind of events that culminate in an unexpected twist: puppies are on the way.
The Good:
The film's initial setup promises an engaging and heartwarming narrative. The idea of two people being thrust into a shared responsibility due to their dogs' unexpected love connection is undeniably charming. Lucy Hale's portrayal of Nicole brings a lively energy to the screen, and Grant Gustin's portrayal of Max captures the essence of an introverted character who gradually learns to step out of his comfort zone. Their contrasting personalities hold potential for great comedic chemistry, yet the execution falls short of expectations.
The saving grace of the film comes in the form of the adorable canine cast members. The puppies steal every scene they're in, their playful antics providing genuine moments of joy. However, even the puppies can't fully compensate for the film's lack of depth and emotional resonance. The supporting cast, including Nore Davis as Sid, offers sporadic moments of comedic relief, but the characters remain largely one-dimensional, serving as mere accessories to the main plot.
Puppy Love also showcases a bright and colorful aesthetic that matches the light-hearted tone of the film. The use of outdoor locations and warm lighting adds to the film's overall charm, providing a pleasant backdrop for the unfolding events. The direction is competent, with the pacing generally maintaining a steady rhythm, but it's not enough to elevate the film beyond its shortcomings.
The Bad:
One of the film's fundamental issues lies in the lack of depth given to the characters and their relationships. While the initial premise sets the stage for personal growth and self-discovery, the character arcs remain disappointingly superficial. Nicole's wild-child persona is never fully explored beyond a few superficial gags, and Max's social anxiety is often played for laughs rather than treated with the sensitivity it deserves. The transition from two strangers forced into co-parenting to potential romantic partners feels rushed and lacks the emotional resonance that would make the audience truly invest in their journey.
Puppy Love also leans heavily on clichés and predictable plot developments. The comedic moments, while occasionally amusing, often feel forced and fall flat due to their reliance on tired gags. The film seems content with playing it safe and sticking to formulaic storytelling, missing the opportunity to take risks and surprise the audience. The potential for a fresh, memorable romantic comedy is present, but the filmmakers appear hesitant to fully embrace it.
Overall:
Puppy Love enters the realm of romantic comedies with a unique premise that promises a fresh take on the genre. However, the film fails to capitalize on its potential, delivering a narrative that feels rushed, shallow, and overly reliant on clichés. While Lucy Hale and Grant Gustin deliver likable performances, their characters are held back by underdeveloped arcs and lackluster chemistry. The canine cast members steal the show with their irresistible charm, but even their presence can't fully salvage a film that struggles to rise above mediocrity. Puppy Love might tug at your heartstrings briefly, but it ultimately leaves you yearning for a more substantial and memorable romantic comedy experience.

Kamikaze Dogfight and Gravitas Ventures have announced that the psychological thriller, “Go/Don’t Go” written and directed by first time filmmaker, Alex Knapp is now available to stream for free on Amazon Prime. The thriller stars Alex Knapp, Olivia Luccardi, Nore Davis, Bettina Skye, Tom Essig, and Zoey Wagner.
After an unknown cataclysm, Adam (Alex Knapp) is alone. The sole inhabitant of a vacant, unchanged world, or so he thinks. While attempting to stay grounded in the desolate landscape, visions come to him—the fateful night his best friend Kyle (Nore Davis) introduces him to the love of his life, K (Olivia Luccardi).
As Adam’s mental state starts to unravel, he is plagued by lingering questions and uncertain realities about his world. His grip on what’s left starts to slip away—sending him spiraling towards a series of unforeseen consequences and unexpected truths.
Go / Don’t Go is a post-apocalyptic psychological thriller, oscillating between a forgotten love story and inescapable paranoia.
“We’re incredibly excited to be partnering with Kamikaze Dogfight and Gravitas Ventures for the release of Go/Don’t Go. The broad far-reaching infrastructure of Gravitas, paired with the hands-on approach of Kamikaze made this the perfect home for our film – and their partnership is something really inspiring to be on the ground floor of. We’re hopeful audiences will connect with the emotional and tonal relevance to our current quarantined lifestyle, and the isolation and melancholy longing for a previous existence. Ultimately our film is a love story, be-it wrapped up in the uncertainty of a world changing event for our main character. My producing partner Max Gardner and I couldn’t have possibly dreamed to execute a project like this without our incredible cast, crew, and producing team, and we’re thrilled to be able to share it with audiences,” said writer/director Alex Knapp.
"That's why I never feel bad for people who get jury duty. I'm like, "Why would you open your mail? Just go in the house! There's nothing in there. All that's in there is threats, that's all the fuck that's in there."
