About Pucker Up and Bark Like a Dog
A socially isolated and extremely shy Los Angeles painter finds his dream girl in the form of a struggling actress and finds himself at last finding the confidence to exhibit his work in this off-beat romantic comedy.
Directed by Paul S. Parco, Pucker Up and Bark Like a Dog leans on a strong ensemble — Jon Gries, Lisa Zane, Christopher Maher — to carry a story that balances spectacle with character.
The film landed with audiences for its craft and performances, and remains one of the most talked-about comedy titles of 1989.
