A true dog lover, had they written "Sleeping Dogs Lie", would emphasize Amy's other sin(which is arguably worse than bestiality): After sex, sex that she initiated, she dropped off her pooch...at the pound...to be euthanized. Talk about A true dog lover, had they written "Sleeping Dogs Lie", would emphasize Amy's other sin(which is arguably worse than bestiality): After sex, sex that she initiated, she dropped off her pooch...at the pound...to be euthanized. Talk about your love 'em and leave 'em stories. It recalls(well, not really) that passage in "Lolita" in which Nabokov describes the angst a canine experiences when its master puts an end to their game of "fetch the ball". Now consider Amy's dog, sitting in his cage like a furry Magdalene sister, probably wondering aloud to himself, "Ruff...Ruff...Ruff! Ruff!... Ruff..."(translation: I was just lying there minding my own business, and then...) It's not Amy who should feel humiliated, it's the dog. John(Bryce Johnson) breaks up with Amy(Melinda Page Hamilton) for the wrong reason. Her parents miss the bigger picture, too. Although "Sleeping Dogs Lie" does a mind-bending job of reconciling gross-out humor within a romantic comedy, the film is dishonest about who we should really feel sorry for.… Expand

Feels very rushed towards the end but I did enjoy most of it and the casting was very good.

Lewd and sexually disgusting for a comedy film where a woman “performs a sexual action on an animal!!!
