Beattie Edmondson, daughter of Young One Adrian Edmondson and the absolutely fabulous Jennifer Saunders plays the spinster Sarah Francis, who comes into possession of Patrick, a mischievous Pug dog. Through a quite predictable path, she and the unwanted pooch become attached to each other and this coincides with an upturn in her fortunes.

There are very few surprises in store via the screenplay and the non reality of the setting wares a bit thin, it’s set in England and it is sunny every single day! There is one reveal that few will see coming and Sarah is so scatterbrained that when she improves even a tiny bit, it’s satisfying to cheer her on.

With so much darkness in the heralded films this year, can you blame anyone from wanting to enjoy a little light and happiness projecting from the big screen every now and then? Besides who doesn’t like a film with a ugly but cute dog?

The last thing she needs is someone else to look after, let alone someone who dribbles, snores and eats from the kitchen bin!! Yet, like it or not, her Grandmother has bequeathed her a very spoilt dog, Patrick – her pug. Surely she must have had her reasons?!

Apparently not, as this four-legged interloper proceeds to cause chaos in all aspects of Sarah’s life. But then something remarkable happens. Patrick, with all his stubby, stumpy attitude, begins to turn her life around…

Patrick is in Australian cinemas November 8!
