Must Love Dogs (2005)**
Diane Lane has fallen into the Jaqueline Bisset syndrome: exceptionally beautiful and talented actress in less than exceptional (to be kind) films. This one fits the mold. And actually, if it wasn't for Diane Lane, this film would merit one star. Very predictable direction and except for half a dozen good one-liners a weak script. The surprise for me was that I wasn't wincing as much as normal when John Cusack was on the screen. Even though he seemed to be wearing the same outfit that he wore in Say Anything in nearly every scene. I actually think he did quite well considering. He's not really that bad of an actor, I guess I feel he is miscast too often. I think that is the case here, although he does nearly pull it off.
