A great under-the-radar comedy from Mike White (The Good Girl, Chuck & Buck), which showcases his knack for biting wit and social satire. It's a good role for Molly Shannon, as a woman who is distraught after her dog, Pencil, dies. She hooks up with a vegan (Peter Sarsgaard) and goes on a mission to save a group of dogs that are about to be euthanized. Another comic knockout for John C. Reilly, as Shannon's dog-shootin', knife-collectin' redneck neighbor. Laura Dern is also good as a self-absorbed yuppie.
