Unfortunately the dog is more work than he dreamed of and it seems that it's attracting all sorts of unwanted attention from a bizarre cast of characters including loan sharks and dog collectors. This is a quirky look at being young and confused in L.A. and is the second effort by actor/director Scott Caan who also plays Solo's off kilter friend. It's a humorous look at what it takes to get life back on track and discovering what it means to care for something outside the superficial and twisted world of Southern California. [More]

Reviews for The Dog Problem
Could have done with a strong voice to step in and demand repairs to shortfalls that are reminiscent of what often plagues films that are too much of a one-person creation.
There is [a Woody] Allen-ish quality to this talky comedy. But Ribisi is very appealing, Lynn Collins is a distinctive love interest and the talk is funny and quick.
A romantic comedy which doesn't force its charm down your throat and instead allows the viewer in to peek around its quirks and discover the true heart beating within.
