the humor of this "joke":

"Dogs are great - suppose you lock both your dog & your wife in the trunk of your car. Who is going to be happy to see you after an hour?"

"joke" is a test of your humor tolerance.

IOW - your movie could have easily been named "No women beyond this point".

See what I mean? Your movie is funny to me, but image a comedy scene in another movie where the guy (finally) opens his trunk to his happy, tail wagging dog, and a very unhappy wife - could you see the humor in that too?

6. It's not my movie, but I would watch it--it's satire. Only way to know if it's good or bad is to
