Merv (2025) 🐶💔
Just finished this Prime Video "rom-com" and honestly? It’s a bizarre, joyless slog. The premise—exes taking their "depressed" dog on a Florida vacation—sounds cute, but the execution is incredibly awkward.

Zooey Deschanel plays Anna as so cold and "uptight" that it’s impossible to root for her. There is zero romantic chemistry with Charlie Cox; they have the vibe of two strangers forced to share an Uber rather than a former couple. The script tries to make her pragmatism the "villain" of the story, but it just makes every scene feel uncomfortable and imbalanced.

For a movie about a dog, it’s surprisingly gloomy. Instead of a fun holiday romp, you get 90 minutes of "grey" energy and wooden dialogue. If you’re looking for a feel-good dog movie, skip this one and just go play fetch with a real dog. This one is strictly for those who enjoy watching two people who clearly dislike each other argue in a resort.

Rating: 1.5/5 🦴

A surprising number of the films in our collection stream for free. It feels like we should do more to let you know about them.

We know there are a lot of film fans in the Fediverse. We'd love to connect you with these great films!

If anyone has suggestions on good hashtags to use or anything else, we're all ears.
