Koko surprised me with a remarkably sincere take on what you might think would be an over-the-top comedy premise: a man wanting to marry his dog. There's still comedy in this indie film, but it definitely deals with real emotions and drama. As a fan of dogs myself -- though I can't say I want to marry one -- I appreciated the film's notion that dogs can feel like a soulmate, particularly when one is dealing with tragedy or abandonment by the people around you. I think some people may view this film as a bit provocative or even controversial, but I would imagine that would only drive more people to watch it.

A very nice story about love and relationships. The film takes a great look across many boundaries, and helps us really what it means to have a soulmate. Very well acted and produced, I recommend this movie for a night with someone your love, or just looking for a unique bit of filmaking.
