Wonderful
- Patrick review by Rm
A great British production filmed around beautiful Richmond and Hampton Court. Beattie Edmondson plays the slightly erratic and amusing new owner of Patrick, and you can't help but find her outlook and mannerisms adorable. I can see how some people might think it's a bit light, but if you want a feel good movie, and something to make you smile, you really couldn't do better than this chirpy little gem.

Nice
- Patrick review by PC
This is a very simple story, girl gets left a dog and learns to love it, this is it really. The dog is actually very cute and Beattie Edmondson is very likeable as the lead. It's quite nice seeing alot of British TV actors and you will probably be on IMDB checking what else they have been in. This is your basic Sunday afternoon movie for all the family, just don't expect too much.

Light-hearted romp with a pug dog
- Patrick review by BN
Sometimes I have no idea why I put certain titles on my CP list, in the main it's because I have looked up specific actors [Jennifer Saunders, Peter Davison, Cherie Lunghi, Gemma Jones, Adrian Scarborough] They're all in it.
I must have cruised their repertoires months before and the title has risen up my list like cream to the top of the milk. After watching many serious dramas I also crave the lightness of a comedy.
Beattie Edmondson (Saunders' daughter) was unknown to me but she carried the film extremely well as a a slightly kooky, independent & unconventional woman who inherits a pug dog from her late grandmother. She doesn't want it, has issues with dogs and lives in a flat that won't accept pets so problems naturally ensue, but even the problems and solutions are quirky and different.
I found it charming and not trite, as other dog centric comedies sometimes are; it kept my interest throughout.
A lovely film for family viewing, a little gem, might even view again.
Lovely views of Richmond, the deer in the park, and Hampton Court. Give it a go.
