Puppy Love

If you are after a comedy that actually makes you laugh out loud, Puppy Love is available in Australia on Amazon Prime Video, and in the US on Amazon Prime Video right now. The length is exactly right for the story it is telling — nothing rushed, nothing dragged out. With 362 viewer ratings on TMDB, this is not a title flying under the radar. Lucy Hale sets the tone, and the rest of the cast matches it scene for scene. Start it on Amazon Prime Video whenever you need something guaranteed to land.

Part of the current wave of titles people are actually watching, Puppy Love earns its spot. Puppy Love does what great comedies rarely manage — it is actually funny, consistently, across the whole run. After a disastrous first date, wild-child Nicole and socially-anxious Max vow to lose each other’s numbers until they learn that their dogs found a love match, and now puppies are on the way! The hilariously mismatched Nicole and Max are forced to become responsible co-parents, but may end up finding love themselves. The chemistry Lucy Hale and Grant Gustin bring to it does a lot of the heavy lifting. It was released in 2023. Puppy Love earns its laughs from character rather than situation, which is why it does not wear thin the way pure farce tends to. It delivers reliably on what it promises, which is more than most of its competition manages.

For viewers who want something light without wanting something stupid, Puppy Love respects your intelligence. It stands on its own even without an obvious comparison point. A contained runtime means every scene is doing real work. Lucy Hale anchors an ensemble with real chemistry. Genuinely funny, consistently, across the whole run.
