About this movie

From director Todd Solondz (Welcome To The Dollhouse, Happiness), Wiener-Dog is a dark, starkly funny story of a single dog and the many different people she touches over her short lifetime. Man’s best friend starts out teaching a young boy some contorted life lessons before being taken in by a compassionate vet tech named Dawn Wiener. Dawn reunites with someone from her past and sets off on a road trip. After leaving Dawn, Wiener-Dog encounters a floundering film professor, as well as an embittered elderly woman and her needy granddaughter—all longing for something more. Solondz’s perversely dark comedy offers an appallingly honest look at the American experience, brought to life by its all-star cast.

This movie and producers and all that partook in the making of this movie should be banned from all TV movie formats foreverrrr! The Movie starts out sorta quirky & fun, but ends all too graphically with the star wiener dog being purposely run over by several trucks and cars over and over... displaying their doggy star... ending up a red bloody gutted dead run over puddle of a bloody mess in the middle of the road... and run over several multiple times! This is not acceptable!!! And this movie was listed in Amazon's Kids/Family venue, like we want our kids to see that!!! My wife and I were sickened seeing this! I say everyone should boycott Amazon, Netflix, or anyone who offers this despicable movie! I say forever ban every actor who participated!
