Slow pace in the most part of the movie.

A very feeble attempt at affirmatie action

It's the kind of movie you'll want to see a second time with someone who hasn't seen it yet, to remember what it was like to watch it for the first time.

I think this is a new genre that they're all sort of working their way through it and haven't got all the kinks worked out yet but it's a genre that works for me.

First off, let me say that I went into this movie not knowing anything about it other than the title, which only caught my interest because I thought it was a very obscure Kurt Vonnegut reference.About ten minutes into the film, (once I realized it had nothing to do with Vonnegut whatsoever), I almost turned it off. I'm very glad I didn't.A cast and crew of unknowns on a shoestring budget managed to crank out a darkly comedic flick that would, in a more fair world, be hugely successful at the box office. David Hewlett's portrayal of the neurotic and disturbed Patrick is flawless, and the on screen chemistry with his real life sister Kate adds an amazingly real touch of sibling rivalry. Paul McGillion plays the part of the cheesy actor to a T.The jokes keep rolling throughout the movie. Patrick's deadpan leaves one in stitches while Marilyn and Ryan's zingers keep the viewer from fully recovering between punchlines.The only downfall to this film is its predictability. I'm not one to try to figure out the end of a movie, but the plot is thin to the point of the ethereal in a few spots, which allows one to easily deduce the film's resolution.In any case, A fine debut from David Hewlett, and I will watch what will likely be his meteoric rise with great anticipation.

I actually rented this movie expecting to be disappointed.We laughed almost the entire way through the film, and it was so strange and hilarious that I intend to purchase it at my first opportunity. You might need to possess that certain type of twisted sense of humor to enjoy it. But if you do, you'll enjoy it immensely.Every single member of the cast turns in a fantastic performance. Even characters who are seen for mere seconds become memorable. David and Kate Hewlett are obviously siblings, but they actually capture that antagonistic sibling relationship very well.These are the type of independent films I wish were being made. It is smart, funny, and well shot.

I loved this movie. It was a none stop laugh riot :) I'm a big fan of British comedies and that is what it reminded me of. There is a lot of great physical comedy and great interaction between the characters, especially Patrick and his sister and Patrick and the fiancée. A typical protective brother with a not so typical response in his attempt to protect his sister. The scene with the internet date was one of my favorites as well as a scene involving planting a cactus at midnight (you'd have to see it to appreciate them). And the ending was just a brilliant twist I did not see coming. All and all definitely worth the watch. I would definitely recommend it to people of all ages.

The more I watch A Dog's Breakfast, the more I love it. I keep catching little things that I didn't see the time before, and it just keeps getting better. The really quirky wardrobe adds a bit of weirdness to these oddball characters and that's pretty fun, too.Since I'm a huge David Hewlett fan, I really thought I'd like his first attempt at directing and I was right. I appreciate that a dedicated group of people came together to help a first time film maker and used their talents to help him produce a quality film. The subtle things around the house are just a riot - the stuff linked to the online auctions Patrick is doing and selling off his parent's stuff little by little - and the walls have the marks where things are missing to prove it. And, it took me a few viewings before I noticed he sold the dishwasher, too! As for the DVD, I particularly have fun with the commentary - where they clarify that the couldn't afford to furnish the house completely and the missing household items are part of that - really clever - and David Hewlett's mum is very cute - and the deleted scenes fill in a couple of gaps, too. Also, the extras such as how the film was made and how it all came together was interesting and amusing.Christopher Judge is really fun, and Mars the dog is a delight. How can you not love that face? When in doubt, go to Mars - and I agree with that. Lastly, the soundtrack is fantastic and the quirky sound effects that litter the film are a hoot.
