My Boyfriends' Dogs (2014 TV Movie)
5/10
A different kind of romance story
15 August 2017
Warning: Spoilers
I would almost call this an anti-romance story. It is more about bad boyfriends and breaking up than about falling in love. It certainly isn't the typical formula for Hallmark.

Bailey is a very likable girl. How can you not like her. She becomes whatever you want her to be. And she has a nice personality and is very giving. Don't forget she loves dogs.

But Bailey totally demeans herself for her potential boyfriends in the sense that she doesn't stand up for herself. As I said, she becomes whatever they want her to be. She takes up running for #1, but not because she likes it. She becomes a Jazz lover and tries to read what looked like a thousand page book for #2. And she becomes a total wimp for #3.

The one we presume she finally ends up with, she barely knows, and neither does the viewer. We had no chance to see a relationship develop beyond their mutual love of dogs.

Piece of trivia - Bailey gushes about the book Wuthering Heights to her students. Erika Christensen appeared as Cate in the TV movie.

It is an interesting and somewhat different story. I wanted to like it. But by the last 45 minutes (of 2 hr. TV time) I couldn't stand to watch her give herself away any more.
