2016<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>There\u2019s this Yiddish proverb Mann Traoch, Gott Lauch, meaning, loosely, \u201cIf you want God to laugh, tell him your plans.\u201d\u00a0 Todd Solondz, best known for \u201cWelcome to the Dollhouse\u201d (an unpopular seventh-grade girl finds her life miserable, taunted by the world), this time looks into several individuals and families whose plans may call for a happy future.\u00a0 But life intervenes and dismay and depression follow.\u00a0 Solondz\u2019s picture of America from the Big City of New York to some remote suburbs, wealthy or downscale, is not particularly hopeful\u2014never mind that our country is among the world\u2019s richest and freest.<\/p>\n<p>The film starts out optimistically when nine-year-old Remi (Keaton Nigel Cooke), a cancer survivor, is presented by his dad Danny (Tracy Letts) with a placid Dachshund which the boy names Wiener-Dog.\u00a0 This provokes anger from the boy\u2019s mom, Dina (Julie Delpy), who fears that their extravagant house with its two-car garage (one being a sporty, red Mercedes) will become filthy.\u00a0 On the way to the vet with the dog, Dina provides this dark, dark comedy with its most trenchant monologue: Dina, who has a better rapport with her son than the boy\u2019s gruff dad, happily tells him why Wiener-Dog is being spayed by recalling the presence of a mean, stray mutt whom she calls a rapist.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWiener-Dog\u201d becomes, in effect, a series of separate narratives bound together by the small, sausage-like dog, the four-legged creature introducing us to others whose lives come off as meaningless, vapid, and unlived as what Solondz implies is the fate of most Americans.\u00a0 When Wiener-Dog is rescued from a vet planning to euthanize her, his assistant, Dawn Wiener (Greta Gerwig) in her typical eccentric role runs from the office with Wiener-Dog (whom she has named Doody) accepting a ride to Ohio from a former classmate, Brandon (Kieran Culkin), who in turn visits his Down-Syndrome brother Tommy (Connor Long) and his wife April (Bridget Brown).\u00a0 Though the dog is left with them, she inexplicably winds up in New York toted by Dave Schmerz, a once-successful film writer, now a professor who risks dismissal from the college because of his advanced age and alleged negativity.<\/p>\n<p>The movie becomes steadily more hopeless when an aging Nana (Ellen Burstyn), hit for money by her granddaughter, Zoe (Zosia Mamet) in a rare visit, takes possession of the dog while later receiving a vision as though by a stroke with a number of small, red-haired girls representing her unlived lives\u2014unlived despite her materially comfortable circumstance which allows her to write a blank check for Zoe.<\/p>\n<p>Back to that Yiddish proverb: nobody\u2019s life turns out as planned.\u00a0 Even the Mexican trio picked up by Brandon on the way to his brother\u2019s house do not like America because they find the country the ultimate scene of loneliness.\u00a0 The film is despairing, and yet can safely be called a dark comedy because of the whimsy sprinkled throughout, backed up by Edward Lachman\u2019s photography and a flurry of songs headed by \u201cSouth Park\u201d composer Marc Shaiman\u2019s \u201cThe Ballad of Wiener-Dog.\u00a0 Like the people who adopt her, in no way does this dog get the life he deserves.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Unrated.\u00a0 90 minutes.\u00a0 \u00a9 Harvey Karten, Member, New York Film Critics Online<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><strong>Story \u2013 B-<\/strong><br \/>\n<strong>Acting
