Okay, we love dogs. Seriously. Give us a movie or a show with a dog, and we’re yours. But a Christmas rom-com with a dog, Zooey Deschanel, and Charlie Cox? That sounds like a dream! MERV is going to be amazing. And here’s everything we know about the movie.
There’s something beautiful in this film. The movie reminding us that when a relationship ends, it’s not just us who feel the loss. What about pets? They notice it too, they experience it, and they suffer too. Their ability to read our emotions without us saying a word makes the story so real and raw. It’s about reconnecting, about how love, even in its most furry and loyal form, can be the bridge to healing.
MERV features a star-studded ensemble cast as one loving and dysfunctional family. Zooey Deschanel and Charlie Cox star as Anna and Russ, respectively, while Chris Redd takes on the role of Vice Principal Desmond. Patricia Heaton will play MJ Owens. As for the team behind the scenes, Jessica Swale will serve as director. Dane Clark and Linsey Stewart will be in the writers chair. And Matthew Baer & Roma Downey will be the producers of the film.
