Ofcoursemyhorse 1043 Posted August 22, 2020 I watched this movie again recently after having not seen it since it was on VHS. Its something else, it blows my mind how well received this movie was critically. In at least two separate occurrences in this movie it is decided that the best possible solution to providing help to a gay man who has been the victim of a horrible crime is to have is openly antagonistic neighbor care for his dog and provide him with transport on a roadtrip to his parents house. Like how on earth is forcing someone who is openly hateful to your friend and client a better idea than paying someone to house sit with the dog or finding a friend who could actually be trusted to take care of the dog well. Later on in the movie Kinnears agent again finds himself in a bind and rather than hire a driver/ find a friend to drive, he again enlists someone who up until then had been incredibly rude to Kinnear. And this is all before getting into the outright absurdity of Helen Hunt being paired with Jack Nicholson romantically, who is the better part of 3 decades older than Hunt. 1 Share this post Link to post
