I'm not that Crazy

I've been dying to see "Year of the Dog" with Molly Shannon since I saw the preview several weeks ago. My excitement soon gave way to disapointment however, and in the end I disliked the movie hugely.

Problem #1: There movie was less about rescuing animals, and came off more like a PETA propaganda film.
Problem #2: Not all animal rescuers are Vegan/Vegetarians. I rescue animals all the time, and I really like my steak thank you very much.
Problem #3: Not all rescuers fall off the deep end, become horders, hate their fur wearing relatives, and become animal rights activists.

This movie was far removed from the preview, and I think any person who does animal rescue is going to be turned off, which is a pity because I think the movie would have been good if done differently. So, if you volunteer at your local shelter, and foster for a local rescue group this movie isn't for you. If you are a PETA supporter this movie is right up your alley. JMHO

This movie isn't for the spouses or otherwise significant others of those that volunteer or work at their local shelters.

If not for my wife, I probably wouldn't know much about shelter life or the animal rights movement (from the humane society perspective). But, I have learned a lot by proxy and definitely came away from the movie with the notion that it was very pro PETA.

Not that there is anything wrong with a movie being pro PETA or the PETA movement.

But the trailers seemed to pitch a much more comedic movie about a woman who loved dogs and somehow ends up doing some shelter stuff.

erm, fajita. There is something very wrong with being pro PETA and the PETA movement.

I didn't say that I was pro PETA.

I mean come on, my nickname is after a Mexican dish that is typically made of tasty beef.
