New York City writer Iris finds her comfortable, solitary life thrown into disarray after her closest friend and mentor bequeaths her a Great Dane named Apollo. The huge dog immediately creates practical problems for Iris, from furniture destruction to eviction notices, as well as more existential ones. Yet as Iris finds herself unexpectedly bonding with Apollo, she begins to come to terms with her past, and her own creative inner life.

Comedy with no ambitions to be more — and that's honest. It gets laughs not through subtlety but through recognition. The director knows their audience and delivers.
A well-executed light comedy is its own skill. They managed it here. Not brilliant, but honest and good-natured.
Good for watching with friends or family. Solo viewing works too, just less.
