DVD: Doghouse (dir: Jake West, 2009)


"It's a bit late to start praying, isn't it?"

Deliberately non-PC and misogynist, Doghouse is too simple, too weak and too late to have any real impact. It is best seen as a harmless, feeble-minded romp that rattles along at a fair pace to little real effect or purpose. As first-billed, Danny Dyer is - as always - Danny Dyer and gives good value, but no-one seems quite sure (especially in the early stages) whether they are playing this earnestly or tongue-in-cheek. The DVD has a nice package of extras, which ultimately add little to the experience, and the film looks good for its limited budget and scope.
