“Dog Days” Trailers, Posters, Blu-ray/DVD

comedy, romance, , , , , , ,

I am not quite sure what to make of Dog Days.  The trailer shows different vignettes of dog owners. Each having some sort of issue that relates back to their dogs. They are all interconnected in Los Angeles and are brought together by their lovable canine counterparts. Watch the trailer and you will see what I mean.

Directed by Ken Marino, who has done more acting than directing, leads an ensemble of actors. Vanessa Hudgens and Eva Longoria star along with Nina Dobrev, Lauren Lapkus, Adam Pally, Thomas Lennon, and Rob Corddry.

The latest poster is perfect for the movie because it shows all the dogs not just one from the movie like the character posters.

Clearly, you have to love dogs to watch this movie because it is all about dogs.

Now, is your chance to add the movie to your library or stream it if you want to see it again or you haven’t seen it yet. Dog Days is out Blu-ray/DVD and streaming. 

The Blu-ray/DVD cover gives a sense of romance. I am not sure that is the case. There are several stories within the movie. Perhaps, one is a romantic story, but romance sells.

If you have someone in your family or close friend who is a dog lover,  Dog Days makes the perfect gift, too.

 

“How to Be a Latin Lover” Trailer

comedy, romance, , , , ,

Directed by Ken Marino, How to Be a Latin Lover stars Eugenio Derbez in the cross-culture movie with more of a Latin flare than a true American comedy. Eugenio plays a very handsome and very young Maximo who dreams of being rich without ever having to work a day in his life.

Having made a career of seducing rich older women, he marries a wealthy woman more than twice his age. 25 years later, spoiled and bored from waking up next to his now 80-year-old wife. He gets the surprise of his life when she ends up dumping him for a younger car salesman.

Forced out of his mansion and desperate for a place to stay, he must move in with his estranged sister, Sara, played by Salma Hayek, and her nerdy but adorable son, Hugo, in their small apartment. Eager to return to the lap of luxury, Maximo uses his nephew’s crush on a classmate to get to his new target-her grandmother, Celeste, a widowed billionaire.

As Maximo tries to rekindle his powers as a Latin lover, he bonds with his nephew Hugo, and he learns that being a Latin lover means that loving money isn’t as important as the love of your family.

Here is another trailer. The boy is hilarious.
