save the dog, dump the cheerleader

the way the dog is treated got me sad!  it made me want to save all the lonely dogs in the world!!

it was a downer movie but i "got it". people who live back at home, back in the neighborhood you grew up in... the main character a girl who probably acts younger than she should, who's lazy, who goes out too much and cant get her work done.  shes a tad delusional about whats actually good for her and what is not good for her.  she has a mixed tape.  she is 37.  she drinks coke for breakfast.  she texts in public when shes alone to look important.

HOWEVER, shes not nice to people, shes selfish, shes unlikeable,  shes mean, shes full of herself. 

i do love that the guy from "a gifted man" and patton oswalt are in this.  i like both of them.

but because of the dog.  it broke my heart and made me sad :*(
and what it did was make me hate the main character and not root for her at all.

she does figure out shes crazy though.  you find out that she does know she has problems & throughout the movie you see that shes aware shes majorly flawed and is hurt by it. its an interesting look at depression too and for someone whos gone through it and still does, there are scenes where ive felt what shes feeling.  i know EXACTLY what the scene is saying. 

and even though the dog is ignored (BOO), this movie gave me a bit of hope in some way...
