Puppy Love -- So disappointed! Primarily because the two stars had absolutely no chemistry; then, because one always felt that Cameron was conscious only of how she looked -- pushing her hair back (well, with that hairdo, that was bound to happen: why do stylists/actresses get dos that inevitably fall into their faces and separate?). She has been in the biz long enough to know that it is a big no-no to keep touching your hair! All-in-all, she was ill-at-ease, the part simply didn't fit her and vice versa, and the two stars were more like brother and sister than a couple. The dog was cute and the child was satisfactory. Bad script, bad directing, worse casting, bad acting, good idea even if totally predictable.
