How to kill your neighbor's dog is a comedy that is about a character that is not ready to move onto the next step in life, but upon meeting a new neighbor's kid, befriends her. Their mutual relationship somehow inspires one other to reach beyond what each think is their boundary, and ultimately, allows them to grow up and out of their shells.
The movie is moving without getting all sentimental, and its humor is deft and quirky.
Branagh is great in this role, taking a break from the usual serious role and immersing himself into this character totally, truly allowing us to believe his transformation from a total jerk to a person who became enlightened.
