WHAT’S IT ABOUT?

Sarah Francis (Edmondson) is a young woman struggling to sort her life out, and finds that it is made much more difficult when her late grandmother bequeaths her spoiled pug Patrick to her. At first, Sarah is unable to cope with the existence of a dog in her flat, but soon finds that the little dog is beginning to change her life for the better…

IN ONE SENTENCE, WHY SHOULD YOU BE EXCITED?

Pug-lovers are bound to be entranced by the feel-good and family-friendly hijinks that the one in this movie gets up to, which should make this a nice little surprise for most people going to see it.
