“While dog lovers will identify with Greg’s relationship to Sylvia, many middle-aged people will recognize in Greg’s behavior the classic symptoms of midlife crisis,” said director Scott Phillips in a statement. “Greg is tired of his routine, his job and although he wouldn’t admit it outright, his marriage. Unlike Kate, who is a complex human being who divides her focus between many interests and activities, Sylvia is focused solely on Greg.”
