Woof! Hey there, fellow pups! We just gotta bark our thoughts about this movie “23 Walks.” You know, it’s all about humans finding love and stuff, but let’s focus on the real issue here โ the lack of doggy walkies!
So, the story’s about Dave and Fern, these older humans. They meet in a park while walking their dogs. Sounds promising, right? But hold your biscuits, it’s like they forgot what walks are for! Twenty-three walks together โ that’s the title โ but come on, these walks are shorter than a squirrel chase.
I mean, what’s up with that? We’re talking about the real stars of the show here โ the dogs! They should’ve renamed it “2.3 Walks with Humans and Their Dogs.” Seriously, they barely even show us enjoying the park, sniffing around, or marking our territory. It’s like they’ve forgotten that leash time is our bonding time.
And let’s talk about the humans’ romance โ it’s a bit like fetch gone wrong. They’re not entirely honest with each other, which puts their love in the doghouse. But come on, humans, learn from us โ loyalty and honesty are key! These two could learn a thing or two from watching us wag our tails and play nice.
AS film critics, we’ve seen more excitement during a nap. The story drags like a leash that’s stuck under a bush. If only the movie were as fast-paced as our squirrel patrols! And the characters? Well, they’re as bland as dry kibble. It’s like watching the same old chew toy โ no excitement, no surprises.
Our final woof โ the storytelling technique. They count up to the ending, like we count how many treats we’ve devoured. It’s nice to know when it ends, but seriously, it could’ve been wrapped up in a paw-sitively shorter runtime. Maybe as a 20-minute short film, it could’ve worked better.
So, to sum it up, if you’re looking for a heartwarming tale about finding love in later years, well, this movie might tug on some heartstrings. But if you’re looking for a real adventure with dogs and humans exploring the great outdoors, you might want to leash your expectations. Just take us for a long walk instead โ that’s time well spent!
WOOF out!
