To me, the dog issue is neither here nor there; your response to it, on the other hand, is hugely telling.

I hate it when people do this. “I had a bad experience with a dog when I was five, so I can never be around them again.” “My dad forced me to go in the pool before I was ready, so water is a no go for the rest of my life.” “A masked gorilla scared me at Halloween as a toddler, so to this day I keep trick-or-treaters…

I prefer to think she's serious, and although I liked her before, I now love her. This movie is beyond terrible. People who genuinely like this movie are just lame people. The end.
