It's been more than a decade since this movie slipped into cinemas and disappeared without a trace. But it's now offered on Hulu. I'll gladly differ to and concur with the film review master, Roger Ebert who was able to review this one before his death. (It's worth a Google search) He gave it one out of four stars, and his write up says it best: how could a movie with such a talented pedigree of writers and stars be such a listless, boring bomb?
What I will add is that I think this reteaming of the Grand Canyon writers, producers and star Kevin Kline changes is that this is Meg Kasdan project with hubby Lawrence Kasdan helping out; whereas with Grand Canyon it was the other way around. Do a quick IMDB credit search and it will confirm this suspicion and the disappointing result. If you like even passable dog rescue movies, this one will bore you with its tedious human side stories. If you're after an engaging and thoughtful follow up to 1991's Grand Canyon, skip it all together.
