Pucker Up and Bark Like a Dog

About This Movie

So, there's this film from '89, Pucker Up and Bark Like a Dog, that kinda flies under the radar. It's got this quirky vibe, you know? Follows a shy painter in LA who's just super socially awkward, but then he meets this struggling actress, and it’s like, ‘wow, can he actually break out of his shell?’ The performances really capture that awkwardness—it’s relatable. The pacing’s a bit uneven at times, which might throw you off, but it fits with the off-beat nature of the story. There's a charm in its simplicity, and the practical effects are almost non-existent, but the focus is really on the characters and their journey. Not your typical rom-com, for sure.
