Ameriatch One of the best films i have seen

SanEat A film with more than the usual spoiler issues. Talking about it in any detail feels akin to handing you a gift-wrapped present and saying, "I hope you like it -- It's a thriller about a diabolical secret experiment."

Celia A great movie, one of the best of this year. There was a bit of confusion at one point in the plot, but nothing serious.

berus-82146 As a former fan of Todd Solondz' work, I was eager to view "Wiener-Dog". There were harbingers of disappointment in the first vignette, but not until the last 20 minutes of the film was I forced to resign myself to the sad reality that Solondz has become a victim of his own filmic nihilism in that he has become an auteur of ugly, boring, artistically hollow visions. His treatment of each of the separate narratives of this film reveals what one fears is an unintentionally autobiographical snapshot of his own fears as a film maker and a creator. The only redeeming moments in this rather masturbatory work come through some of the performances of the cast. However, for the regrettable experience that it is to fidget and sigh ones way through this film, it is still not worth the time, effort and disappointment required to view it - particularly if one is or ever was a fan of Solondz' work. Initially, I felt a pang of disappointment at seeing that Heather Matarazzo would not be reprising her role as Dawn... however, I quickly realized the blessing at not having this minor atrocity tread on her interpretation of the character. At least some part of Solondz' legacy was left unscarred by this film-- even it was only the characterization that a gifted child actor brought to the titular role in a previous incarnation. If you loved or cared for "Welcome to the Dollhouse", or any other Solondz' other, earlier works... steer clear of this one.

llrmurph This was the worst movie I have ever seen. No redeeming message. These people were all horrible and weak and the sweet dog was the victim over and over. Nobody grows, nobody changes nobody does anything except randomly hurt the dog. The little boy in the beginning has the worst parents in the history of parents. The girl at the vet, after rescuing the dog becomes a complete victim to a drug addict. She gives the dog to a down syndrome couple who are more excited about the leash. A horrible film professor blows her up and then she is killed by a car and run over multiple times. There are many scenes of dog diarrhea, and very long time of seeing a completely smashed dog on the road and cars just go over and over and over and over her. A final treat was to see her stuffed in a museum. The best part was intermission.

SeattleGal34 Spoiler. But I wish I had seen a spoiler for this movie. I wish I had known that the wiener dog runs into traffic and gets RUN OVER BY A TRUCK ON SCREEN and then run over again and again on screen before wasting 2 hours of my life watching this. I cannot un-see this now and it will play over and over in my mind for days to come now. Very upsetting. I should have had a clue when one of the characters straps a ticking bomb on the wiener dog in the previous vignette; I had a feeling... if I saw this film in a theater I would have walked out. I cannot believe it has even 5 stars--the characters are absolutely horrible. There's nothing redeeming whatsoever about this movie which is disappointing considering how much I loved Welcome To The Doll House. WTF? AWFUL and I will have nightmares for weeks now.

vindstilla As i watched this movie i had a few good laughs.. but in the end, i failed to get the point. If there was one.. the acting is stiff and artificial, which by all means may have been intended, but not to my liking. The interconnected stories didn't connect at all which made the plot impressively uninteresting. Was it even the same dog pictured throughout the movie? Who knows... the humor is quirky, dark and bizarre, I can give credit for that, but there is no story.. Half way through I started yawning and towards the end of the movie I longed for it to end. Even so I rate this movie with a 6, since it was actually funny, when you managed to look past the pointlessness of it all.
