Must Love Dogs (PG-13)

Quicklook Rating★★½

synopsis

Thirty-something pre-school teacher Sarah Nolan has been divorced for eight months, which is much too long for her co-workers and family to bear.

Meanwhile, their widowed father, Bill, is way ahead of the curve, having already cornered the market on internet dates, including his new web squeeze, the free-spirited Dolly.

Sarah soon endures a torrent of eager wannabes and one very possible maybe, the handsome and accomplished but surprisingly awkward web date Jake as well as Bob, the newly-divorced dad of one of her students, a hot prospect who may prove too good to be true.
