"It is a truth universally acknowledged, at least in my social circles, that co-parenting a dog is a bad idea. Most will tell you: shared canine custody arrangements prevent exes from moving on. It's a logistical headache. It causes fights. It's annoying for all involved (and then some). And apparently, in a revelation worthy of a straight-to-streaming movie, it makes dogs depressed."
"This is a tech company-cum-studio holiday release it is not that deep. You know the plot will be simple and straightforward forced to confront the fact that their respective post-split depressions are outmatched only by Merv's, exes Russ (Charlie Cox, thankfully allowed to still be British) and Anne (Zooey Deschanel) take a cheer-up trip to a dog resort."
Social circles generally regard co-parenting a dog as a bad idea, citing logistical headaches, fights, and difficulty moving on. Dogs possess emotional sensitivity and can exhibit depression. A dog like Merv, played by Gus the Dog, would likely struggle switching between split homes. Merv is written by Dane Clark and Linsey Stewart and directed by Jessica Swale; it functions as a lightweight Amazon holiday release designed to be simple. The plot sends exes Russ (Charlie Cox) and Anne (Zooey Deschanel) to a dog resort where reconciliation is implied. Side characters feel eccentric and underused, and the wintry visuals appear contrived.
