Review‘Oh My Dog’ comes across as a done and dusted rehash of ‘90s American dog-themed movies with none of the believable warmth. Bharathy SingaravelCourtesy/2DEntertainmentYou know a movie is going to embrace every hackneyed trope known to filmmakers when it opens with a commentator enthusiastically congratulating a dog called Hitler. It’s a canine talent show and of course Hitler belongs to the villain. A villain (Vinay Rai) so cartoonishly evil, he walks on screen for the first time in a lurid purple suit with fur lapels. Vinay Rai struts, growls, calls his show dogs his “golden slaves” and delivers a masterclass in how not to play a role. He seems to have based himself entirely on Cruella from 101 Dalmatians, only it’s a paltry imitation of a classic baddie.
