Directed by David Hewlett.

Starring David Hewlett, Paul McGillion, Kate Hewlett.

If you've never been good at anything in your life, why would murder be any different? Patrick has always had a somewhat combative relationship with his little sister Marilyn. But when she brings home her new sci-fi-soap star fiancé Ryan, it's all out war. When Patrick fails to drive a wedge between the happy couple, he reaches for sharper instruments. Every family has a few skeletons in the closet; A Dog’s Breakfast is the nightmarishly funny mess Patrick makes when he tries to add another to his. ~adogsbreakfastmovie.com

"I decided to purchase "A Dog's Breakfast," on itunes after only seeing the trailer, and after deciding that David Hewlett is an amazing actor. I found out that this movie really is just hilarious, especially when you watch it with a group of people. David Hewlett gives an amazing performance. He portrays a very interesting character that you can not help but laugh at, and his real-life sister plays his sister in the movie which makes everything even better! It's a hilarious movie that everyone can enjoy, especially families in a big group. It was great seeing Chris, Rachael, and Paul in the movie too...all of whom are great actors. " [More]

"A film has to be pretty special for me to happily watch it more than once. I've watched "A Dog's Breakfast" twice now, and look forward to many more viewings.David Hewlett claims this is "an old-fashioned type of comedy", and he's absolutely right. This film has a kind of innocence and real humor that's seldom seen these days, and which is very refreshing. For anyone who is tired of 'funny' movies that descend to the crass, the profane, and the mean to get their laughs, this movie will make you remember what it's like to laugh because something is honestly funny. The blend of different types of comedy also keep this film fresh with equal amounts of slapstick and wit.Mars the dog, in his film debut, steals every scene he's in effortlessly even though David Hewlett bends over backwards (literally, at times) to make this film funny and entertaining. He's one of the very few actors I can watch embarrass himself without making ... " [More]

"I spent the whole movie laughing. This is comdey at it's best. david Hewlett wore many hats in this film. Actor, Director, Producer. This is a great movie as I have watched it many times. The story is great, the cast is awesome, and Mars is sooooooo cute. It gets two thumbs up from me. If I had more thumbs they'd be going up too. " [More]

"High-larious. For the Stargate community this movie is a special treat. David is a really good actor. Chris Judge-why hasn't mainstream TV discovered him? The 'lovely lumps' scene is a gem The horror references are a hoot. I hope to see more from David. Hope he gets up a head of steam before the Stargate franchise collapses which seems like it will be next week. We want to see more from our favorite hand-wringing Nerd!!! " [More]

"What a fab movie! Well acted and definitely well written this little gem is an absolute must see! The plot is a little obvious but even so you are hooked as its a laugh a minute and you just have to see how its going to turn out. Kate Hewlett is most definitely a talent that we will hopefully get to see a lot more of in years to come. She commanded the screen and as a female -I completely related to her and was with her all the way. David Hewlett as always completely nuts and pure genius from a comedy perspective. All in all a 5 Star rating from me. If you want a genuinely fun and relaxing evening this movie is the one to get. For those with no sense of humour? - it may just educate you! " [More]

"It's hard to review a movie like this without giving anything away, and I don't want to write any spoilers. So to start, I recommend everyone tries to see it. One can already see how hilarious it is by the trailer and the few clips on the show, but let me tell you... it gets even BETTER!! The acting is great, but if you're a fan of the Stargates, then you already know that. And Kate Hewlett, the female star, has theatrical experience, and I guess good acting is genetic in the Hewlett family. Along with the sense of humor. The sibling rivalry in the movie is great to see, and even funnier knowing that David and Kate actually are brother and sister. I can't even comment on Paul McGillion, 'cause I'd be giving away stuff, but let me pause for a second and giggle madly!! *ROFLMAO* OK, back. The other roles were fairly short, all the actors were great, and I personally hope that we'll get to see "Starcrossed" - the space opera in the movie that is t ... " [More]
