Based on the novel by Claire Cook, a 40-year-old divorcee (Oscar and Golden Globe-nominee Diane Lane, UNDER THE TUSCAN SUN) throws herself back into the dating scene after a two-year "dry spell." When her sister writes a personal ad for her that includes the criteria "must love dogs," the divorcee has to borrow a canine to support her sister's exaggeration. What she doesn't know is her prospective date (Golden Globe-nominee John Cusack, RUNAWAY JURY, SERENDIPITY) is doing the same thing, because he doesn't own a dog, either. Also starring Elizabeth Perkins (MOONLIGHT AND VALENTINO, FINDING NEMO), Dermot Mulroney (MY BEST FRIEND'S WEDDING), Golden Globe-nominee Christopher Plummer (ALEXANDER) and Oscar and Golden Globe-nominee Stockard Channing (TV's "The West Wing").
