Adoring (2019)

This is pretty much everything you want in an ensemble rom com with four legged friends. It’s funny sweet, heartwarming and sad.

It’s so difficult to balance all these stories and to develop all the characters. The whole ensemble is uniformly strong. It’s really a bunch of short stories which get pulled together in the last scene. It wasn’t needed to bring everyone together, but it is nice to see them all interact.

Also, hats off to all the animal wranglers since all the animals are great. It’s refreshing to see real animals and not CG everywhere.

So if you’re looking for something fluffy but with heart, this is lots of fun.

This is a feel good movie, light with some touching stories. Nothing epic, but the adult animals are well-trained to deliver acting that some are better than their human co-stars. Mostly are Hollywood pet stars that are hired together with their animal trainers, only the pig and the kitten are local. Not necessary a rom-com, but other relationship such as family bonding and friendship are explored as well. But mainly are relationship between human and their pets, and some were not accustomed to own pets before. This movie is mainly to teach people to love animals, especially, domestic pets, where both sides (us and our pets) find love, healing, friendship, family, even trust.
