Puppy Love

Nicole Matthews is a spirited woman who dives into life with energy, while Max Stevenson is cautious and quick to calculate risks. After a disastrous first date they swear off each other and delete the numbers, hoping to keep life orderly. Yet their dogs form an instant bond and, in a surprising turn, seem to be a match that creates more than a few wagging tails with a litter on the way. Suddenly the pair must become co-parents, navigating vet visits, puppy training, and the chaos of shared schedules while their apartment fills with barks. As the puppies grow, Nicole and Max reexamine what they want, and wonder if love could bloom despite their differences.

Directed by Nicholas Fabiano, Puppy Love comes from an original screenplay by Kirsten Guenther, Dan Scheinkman, and Richard Alan Reid. The film blends light romantic comedy with domestic humor and dog friendly energy, and the tone stays playful. Lucy Hale and Grant Gustin bring natural chemistry to Nicole and Max, while Jane Seymour and Michael Hitchcock provide grounded support.

Box office details for Puppy Love are not publicly disclosed, and there is no widely reported budget. The release appears modest, aimed at fans of light hearted rom coms and dog centric humor.

Critically the movie lands in comforting rom com territory, delivering easy chemistry between Nicole and Max and playful canine moments. The humor comes from everyday domestic chaos rather than stunt work, and the film tries to ground its romance in clear communication, shared responsibility, and growing together despite differences.

As a 2023 release Puppy Love has yet to leave a sweeping cultural footprint, but it has found a modest audience on streaming platforms where dog centered comedies perform well. Viewers praise the breezy pacing and the affectionate performances, and the canine moments frequently appear in social media clips and fan conversations.
