Must Love Dogs Movie Review 2005

Recently-divorced Sarah (Lane), a 40ish preschool teacher, is thrown into the online dating world by her family, a large group of cackling Irish Americans. But first Sarah meets Bob (Mulroney), the separated father of one of her students, and later Jake (super-witty Cusack), a romantic who builds wooden boats by hand, and the triangle ensues. Former TV director Goldberg and a star-loaded cast don't quite make a love connection, but a passable date movie is in here somewhere. The title is a good motto to live by, though.
