'Dogs' better for older crowd

I would not like to think my love life would become so grim that I would resort to meeting my soul mate on the internet ... not that there is anything wrong with it. But, in "Must Love Dogs," the latest film from director/writer/producer Gary David Goldberg, internet dating doesn't seem like such a bad option after all.\nSarah (Diane Lane) is a recently divorced woman from a large, nosy Irish family. Desperate and miserable from her divorce from her ex-husband who stopped loving her and traded her in for a younger model, Lane's family tries to set her up with different men. After some failed attempts, Lane's sister Carol (Elizabeth Perkins) puts a profile for her sister on www.perfectmatch.com. One of the first men to answer the ad is heartthrob Jake (John Cusack). After a few awkward dates, love ensues. \nThe relationship between Cusack and Lane on the screen is priceless and its almost impossible to not either: \nA) want them to fall desperately in love with one another or \nB) pray that someone like Cusack is waiting for you out there somewhere. \nGreat lines and humor are spread throughout "Dogs" and the chemistry between the actors is an accurate portrayal of just how weird and uncomfortable the dating scene can be -- no matter what your age. One critique of this film is that it's predictable, like most romantic comedies. I wouldn't advise going to see this movie in hopes of getting some earth-shaking love advice or tips. Instead, be prepared to wish falling in love was that damn easy. \nWhile this film would appeal to single gals everywhere, it might cater to the 30's and 40's divorced crowd a little bit more. The heartaches and breaks enfolding on the screen might be hard for 20-somethings like me to relate to, similar to "Something's Gotta Give."\nAnother problem is the role of the airheaded, slutty 20-something that always seems to be a man stealer. Movies like this can cater to a 30- and 40-something audience without villanizing 20-somethings like me. Remember: those older women were once in their 20's too.\n This isn't a movie I would rush to the theatres to go see, but definitely worth going to see on a rainy afternoon with a female friend or family member.
