A woman who loves her dog more than her husband discovers her pet has vanished - and her spouse is to blame. The troubled couple seeks help from friends and an eccentric psychic in their search.

Darling Companion

This dog can&apos;t be saved.

&quot;Lassie, don&apos;t come home.&quot;

Will movies never cease to amaze me? How could the creativity behind the pleasing ensemble film Grand Canyon, Lawrence Kasdan and his wife, Meg, be responsible for the insipid drama, Darling Companion? 

A lost dog? The hunt curing and binding the principle couples? Please!! Only surgeons, veterinarians, and their wives could have the time and resources to stay at a Colorado lodge to look for a lost dog. Of course, the dog is just the metaphor for the lost romance, to be found, of the couples, mostly Beth (Diane Keaton) and Joseph (Kevin Kline).

It&apos;s difficult to describe how banal their interaction is, especially since Keaton overacts, flailing her arms at emotional moments, and Kline appears to wish he hadn&apos;t made this movie with his lines appropriate for a high school world premier.

But then, Sam Shepherd, the world-class playwright, has to endure his thankless role as the curmudgeonly sheriff, and Diane Weist can only showcase her world-class cheekbones. Richard Jenkins as her silly love interest, well, he&apos;s had a whole lot better than his comic-relief buffoon.

But then the writing Kasdans didn&apos;t have to worry about crafting each line since it seems every other line is a scream calling for lost dog, Freeway. When the most conflict you&apos;ll get is Joseph&apos;s enslavement to his cell, you have an idea that there are no new ideas. I suggest the real conflict is Beth&apos;s over dramatizing, which Joseph calls her on.

Once again a film relies on the faded glory of its Hollywood royalty to tell a silly tale about older folk. I&apos;m thinking I might enjoy the second edition of The Expendables, whose 65-year-old Sylvester Stallone is a has been, knows it, and makes no pretense about making a warm and fuzzy film.

The story of a woman who loves her dog more than her husband. And then her husband loses the dog.
