Yes, well, don't be fooled by the title.
The word "b*tch" is used, but according to the title, in the dog way. Some other profanities. Otherwise Peggy is a great animal lover.

A Great Movie
This movie is the second best black comedy I've seen. (the other one was Waitress) This film is about the transformation of a dog lover to an animal activist. So she slowly becomes a maniac, to put it bluntly. She does illegal acts to show her activism, but unlike the adult reviewer, I don't think it's propaganda. Yes, I thought the threat to kill was a little too much. Also there's an image of a wall of mounted stuffed animals, two images of animal experimentation, a near-visit to a slaughterhouse and some mild cursing. But it's a good film that teaches us that everyone has something to love.

entertaining? no. propaganda? you bet!
I've never liked Molly Shannon. This movie did nothing to change that. It portrays a descent into madness in response to a pet's death. I'm a HUGE dog lover, but vegans and animal-rights activists take it to a wacky extreme, and that's what Shannon's character does. If you say that's not madness, (SPOILER ALERT), attempted murder of the neighbor you suspect of killing your dog certainly IS. Described as a dark comedy, this movie is all dark and very little comedy.
