Giovanni Ribisi Makes Another Winner


This is a funny little movie as my mom would say. The main character (played by Giovanni Ribisi) Solo, is depressed and at the reluctant suggestion of his therapist (Don Cheadle) gets a dog. Then he manages to get himself into a number of mix ups and sticky situations, the common thread being of course his new friend. Great performances by all involved manage to make each character an interesting and refreshing new take on what would on paper seem like a trite stereotyped character. Rich Bitch (Mena Suvari), Sex Obsessed Best Friend (Scott Caan), Stripper with a Heart of Gold (Lynn Collins) Eccentric and Kind of Violent Drug Dealer (Kevin Corrigan) and of course, Depressed Writer (Giovanni Ribisi).
