7/10
Interesting But Bizarre

Warning: Spoilers
I saw Good Boy, starring Gard Lokke-Troll, The Tough Guys; Katrine Lovise Opstad Fredriksen-Hytteterapi, Ikovei Island: An Earthlock Adventure and Amalie Willoch Njaastad-Bring Down the House_tv, Cabin Crazy.

This is an interesting but bizarre little movie. It's made in Norway, it's subtitled and it's written and directed by Viljar Boe. The movie starts off with Gard eating a meal and then taking a bowl of food to his dog. The dog just happens to be a man dressed in a dog costume, barking and acting like a dog. Gard meets Katrine on a dating app and after a nice meeting over coffee, invites her back to his house. That's when the fun and the bizarre begins. Of course, Katrine is shocked at meeting the dog but Gard explains that he is an old friend that identifies as a dog. Gard tells Katrine to just treat him and talk to him as if he were a dog and there won't be any problems. When Katrine gets home and talks to her mother, Amalie, about everything, they both discover-from looking him up-that Gard is rich and probably a little eccentric so Katrine decides that it's no big deal breaker. There are a few twists and turns that explain things more and things are a little more complicated than you might think.

It's rated R for violence and language and has a running time of 1 hour & 16 minutes.

I enjoyed it enough to buy it on DVD.
