A brilliant film that helped define a genre

Watch something else. There are very few redeeming qualities to this film.

Although I seem to have had higher expectations than I thought, the movie is super entertaining.

The tone of this movie is interesting -- the stakes are both dramatic and high, but it's balanced with a lot of fun, tongue and cheek dialogue.

Despite a disconcerting title, Dogwoman enjoyably combines mystery, comedy and romance. Margaret O'Halloran (Dogwoman) has many of the characteristics we cherish in a dog: Determination, faithfulness and the need to smell everything. At times there seems to be just as many dogs in this film as there are people. Thus, dog lovers should appreciate it.Set in the Australian bush, the film manages to depict the essence of rural living. I don't know how the film makers managed it, but many of the characters appear to be based on my neighbors, and I live in rural Norway.In summary, Dogwoman offers an evening of enjoyable entertainment.
