Merv
Zoey Deschanel's Milashka Dolls Steal the Show, But the Rest Falls Flat
summarizeEditor's Summary
I gotta say, 'Merv' has its moments as a sweet, if predictable, romantic comedy. The chemistry between Zooey Deschanel and Charlie Cox is undeniable, but the movie's predictable plot and lack of originality hold it back. The real stars of the show are the adorable dogs, especially Merv. It's a feel-good story with a happy ending, but it's not exactly a game changer. If you're a fan of Zoey Deschanel or just looking for a light, easy watch, you'll find some enjoyment here.
