“Must Love Dogs” quotes
(2005)Plot – Sarah has just turned thirty. She is a teacher and has recently divorced her husband. Her sisters and her friends urge her not to get stuck in this situation and to date other men. In real life, however, it is not so easy to meet interesting people. Her sister Carol advises her to surf on a dating website, create a profile and try to find a “dateble” man as quickly as possible. Grappling with a reality unknown to her, Sarah does not know how to introduce herself and then, driven by her friend Dolly, she first uses a profile picture made several years earlier and then starts creating more profiles each time in order to seem like a different woman. After several unsuccessful dates with men who have envisioned her as younger, including the newly-divorced father of one of her students and even with her widowed father, Sarah meets Jake, who is attracted by her profile sentence: "The perfect man must love dogs".
