Overview
Sarah Nolan is a newly divorced woman cautiously rediscovering romance with the enthusiastic but often misguided help of her well-meaning family.

Critics on Rotten Tomatoes
Top critics, in their words
It's ostensibly about adults, but there's nothing remotely adult about it.
As fantasies go, you could do a lot worse.
The real reason for taking a chance on this minor summer confection would be to catch up on the life of an unbilled hero: Lloyd Dobler.
Thanks to its splendid lead players, Must Love Dogs has the affable, cuddly charm that its title so hopefully invokes.
