I own going on, I am a David Hewlett fan (“McKay” is one of my favorite characters of all era), moreover I’m a Stargateophile (gatephiliac?) and pretty serious believer, however, I don’t automatically and blindly “praise” anything out just because it’s attached to Stargate, either SG-1 or Atlantis. I bearing in mind to think I have an independent mind to some extent.
A Dog’s Breakfast sounded as well as a delectable project, and I enjoyed reading the Hewlett dgeek.com blog and watching the squirrels (his self-named fans) spin an ever-widening and impressive guidance buzz in the space of never seen in the back. And yes, I follow dhewlett on the subject of Twitter. But I yet reserved my inform until I could view the film.
I flatter the very old screwball comedies, Cary Grant, Tracy & Hepburn, and I loved Peter Seller’s Inspector Clouseau. These were comparisons Hewlett made for his film, and it caught my pull around a level extra than sci-fi (spoken reverently).
So, behind I popped this tiny indie film into my DVD and started watching, several things happened.
1) I fell in astonishment following Mars the dog, certainly and very!
2) I adored Kate Hewlett (even even if she’d already won me more than in “McKay and Mrs. Miller” (Atlantis hint))
3) Discovered Paul McGillion was comical
4) Tried to mimic Chris Judge’s fabulous facial expressions, and
5) I unquestionably loved the screwball, far away-off-fetched and often utterly deaden film
Silly? Oh ya. Goofy? Most the complete. Over the extremity? You betcha. But, it plus had this core of sweetness (not substandard, icky, sticky sweetness, but frightful, hot, valid sweetness), a exhilaration handing out through it that was subtle and unmistakable.
The following-the-scenes segments and features about the DVD opened me occurring to the Dog’s Breakfast “inner circle,” consequently that I felt a part of the movie and make a clean breast upon the inside jokes, which is not unaided a ache publicity angle, but it plus increased my enjoyment and gave me a exact membership to the crew and the film…and made me salivate (my homage to Mars) in anticipation of their neighboring film.

Bottom parentage: fun movie by now a lot of moving picture, easily reached subtle still passionate “moral,” laughs galore, a few groans of mock-agony as it went cold than the peak here and there, and I grinned, giggled and laughed out gigantic through each and every one film. And I wanted a signed photo of Mars in the worst way!
