REVIEW HOW TO KILL YOUR NEIGHBOR'S DOG.......2007-01-10
This movie is fantastic! You will laugh, you will cry, and you will learn about the human spirit. They could not have picked better actors for this movie. This is one of my favorite movies. I suggest you go buy it today!!!
Take the time to watch this film.......2006-07-24
Stars Kenneth Branagh and Robin Wright Penn. Branagh plays a cynical playwright who doesn't want children. Clever, well acted, and generally entertaining. This film did not receive a wide distribution despite the `big name' actors. Accordingly, many are unfamiliar with it.
Searching for jems takes some work........2005-10-28
Originally saw "How To Kill Your Neighbor's Dog" when director Michael Kalesniko brought it to the Kansas City Film Festival.
He was trying to get word of mouth working for the film, as (from what he said) was the studio refusing to release it unless he changed the title.
Now I've had difficulty recommending this jem to some people, because as soon as I mention the title...
But it is an exceptional little film. Crisp writing. Tight, witty dialogue. And really funny bits.
Kenneth Branagh & Robin Wright Penn stand out brilliantly as the featured couple. Other actors shine in smaller parts. But the work of Suzi Hofrichter as the new neighbor's daughter will really win you over.
One might quibble that filming what is supposed to be Los Angeles in Vancouver, Canada is a stretch (can you really see your breath at night in L. A.?), one can easily overlook that mismatch. Because the film is terrific.
It may not have seen wider release, but you'd do better buying "How To Kill Your Neighbor's Dog" than renting anything Adam Sandler has ever produced.

Funny and Charming Comedy: Kenneth Branagh Is Excellent.......2005-04-05
'How to Kill Your Neighbor's Dog' is exactly a kind of film that some lucky audiences pick up at a rental video store by chance, but whose existence many people still don't know even though Robert Redford is executive producer. Or is it that he is not famous any more?
But flawed as it is, 'How to Kill Your Neighbor's Dog' is so witty and charming thanks to the stars Kenneth Branagh and Robin Wright Penn. One merit is that Branagh plays Peter, who is a playwriter for stage, is an Englishman in LA, and is deliciously cynical. No actor is suitable for the role, and he gives one of his best performances on screen. And this playwright is in a slump; for all his fame (of the past years) and confidence, he cannot write good characters and dialogues, especially those of a 10-year-old child in his upcoming play.
And Peter's wife is Melanie played by Robin Wright Penn (in a black wig). She wants a baby, but her husband is not so willing. In between their frustrated relations steps a cute girl Amy (Suzi Hofrichter) who moved into their neighborhood with her mother.
While Amy comes to get closer to Melanie and Peter, they also come to know the little girl. There are many eccentric characters (this film is partly about the stage); Jonathan Scharch as stage actor in Peter's play, Jared Harris as 'false' Peter, and Lynn Redgrave as Peter's mother-in-law who keeps forgetting that she is Peter's mother-in-law. And look for uncredited cameo of Daniel Stern at party scene.
The story itself is nothing exceptional. It is the round characters that are exceptional in 'How to Kill Your Neighbor's Dog' and the gifted actors playing them effectively. The acting is unanimously great, and when those interesting and real characters deliver the funny lines by Kenneth Branagh and Robin Wright Penn, the film becomes a little gem. One scene in which Peter understands 'how a Muppet feels' made me laugh.
Perhaps you haven't seen it, and that's not a big surprise. I'm writng from Japan, but it took about five years for us to see it. And we have seen it in theaters, and think it's good. So how come its US debut was on cable TV?
Brilliant, Superb, What a genius. A real nice Comedy.......2004-06-29
This movie is just great at all levels: story, humour, actors. They are all just great. I can't understand why the press shut it down so hardly while it is a precious stone. This movie is so under-rated. Just watch it, you won't be disappointed.
