MUST LOVE DOGS (2005)

It's an overused knock to say a bad comedy reminds you of a bad sitcom, but it's hard to think of a bad comedy that better fits the ''bad sitcom'' description than Must Love Dogs. Especially because writer-director Gary David Goldberg is best known as an exec producer on Spin City and Family Ties, two quality programs that suggest this movie shouldn't have been so canned. Diane Lane plays a lady looking for love; John Cusack is a canoe-builder who fits the bill; and they (along with the rest of the cast, including Christopher Plummer and Elizabeth Perkins) give off the vibe of being way too smart for this kind of material. —Gregory Kirschling
