REVIEW
YEAR OF THE DOG Peggy is a 40-ish unmarried secretary. She lives quietly with her beloved dog, Pencil, who dies after being accidentally poisoned by a neighbor.
Peggy grows fond of Newt (Peter Sarsgaard, Garden State), an SPCA worker, at the same time she becomes a vegan and a PETA activist. She alienates her family when she takes a niece to an animal rescue ranch. Peggy’s boss, Robin (Josh Pais), is boring, a reflection of Peggy’s life.
This not quite a comedy from writer, director Mike White (The School of Rock) is about a woman on the verge of finding meaning in her otherwise dull life. On the surface, Peggy is ordinary. But she discovers through trial and error that there are all kinds of ways of loving in the world.
Anyone who has ever lost a beloved pet will empathize with the lonely Peggy. Molly Shannon, of Saturday Night Live fame, shows considerable talent playing her role with restraint and heart. Mild profanity and sexual innuendo.
