Must Love Dogs

This Diane Lane vehicle, in which she plays a divorced woman whose nosy family pushes her into the world of online dating, offers enough doses of real life to elevate it above your average romantic-comedy fantasy. With strong support from John Cusack, Dermot Mulroney and Elizabeth Perkins, this is a pleasant enough romantic-comedy bubble, able to poke
at its fairy-tale world without puncturing it.
