Must Love Dog

Sarah (Diane Lane) is a just-divorced pre-school teacher whom seemingly everyone in the world wants to set up on a date, much to her chagrin1. She insists on staying out of the horrid2 dating scene, until her meddlesome3 sister (Elizabeth Perkins) takes it upon herself to put a listing on a matchmaking Web site, under the canine4-friendly heading sharing the movie's title. Cusack's Jake, a morose5 boat builder who's also goaded6 by a well-meaning but shrewish friend, replies. After an initial rendezvous8, and a couple of dates, everything is going swimmingly, until-in what gently passes for a complication- another man steps into her life: Bobby (Dermot Mulroney), an athletic9 single father of one of her young students and straight-up nice guy. For just a while there, it's hard to tell which suitor she'll end up with…unless you've seen these kinds of movies before: Man and woman meet in a cute way, spend time together while insisting they're in love with different people (whom only we can see are bad for them) only to come to their senses at the last minute and race across town to stop the other from getting on a train. But quite simply, it works, often like a charm
