When first presented with 'Dogs Don't Wear Pants', I was in! I had my ticket and I waved it about excitedly and with eager anticipation. It didn't deliver. It lost me quickly with its disjointed and unpleasant score, and then as the “that's not quite right“ moments piled up, I could see that I was not going to walk away from this a happy customer. I very much enjoyed the premise and promise of the characters presented to me, but I wanted to know so much more about them and not so much what they simply did during a series of scenes, and that's where the filmmakers failed to understand their own product. - Jess Fenton Read Jess' full article... https://www.maketheswitch.com.au/article/review-dogs-dont-wear-pants-dangerous-bdsm-and-mismanaged-would-be-great-characters
