Lisa Kudrow To Voice Literal ‘Therapy Dog’ in Animated Presentation for Fox

OK, so Lisa Kudrow will be starring at the titular Therapy Dog, a dog that actually provides traditional therapy for other animals, in this animated project that comes from a team that includes Clea DuVall (whose film The Intervention doesn’t get enough love in our opinion), Jennifer Crittenden, and Gabrielle Allan along with writer/producer/actress dramedy powerhouse Sharon Horgan attached.

Also, the dog that Kudrows plays will also be in an questionable marriage and curious about a charming coyote.

So far, this checks plenty of boxes for us. Even the idea of a dog that is a therapist is pretty damn adorable. Hopefully, this makes it through development hell just to see what this might look/sound/feel like (because it could be great).

The Intervention Might Just Be the Dramedy of the Year

Clea DuVall’s debut as a writer/director is a pretty damn fine one.

Her film, The Intervention, following a “marriage intervention” is simultaneously well crafted, emotionally charged, and laugh out loud hysterical. The notable ensemble cast of Melanie Lynskey, Cobie Smulders, Ben Schwartz, Natasha Lyonne, DuVall, Alia Shawkat, and Vincent Piazza do not disappoint either in handling the delicate material.

If you want more comedy in your dramedies or want to see something that exhibits the real nitty gritty of several different relationships, but does actually celebrate the idea of love without seeming too heavy handed, The Intervention just might be for you.

It just opened at Arclight Hollywood today, but you can watch it on iTunes now as well.

Trailer for “Intervention” Dramedy from Clea DuVall Brings Up a Different Sort of Intervention

The A&E series Intervention brings to mind the struggles of those with various drug and substance abuses and the harrowing journey that all of that entails.

The Clea DuVall movie of the same name does track an Intervention, but it has nothing to really do with the ‘usual suspects’ that force an intervention.

Instead, Ben Schwartz, Alia Shawkat, Clea DuVall, Melanie Lynskey, Natasha Lyonne, and Jason Ritter give Vincent Piazza and Cobie Smulders the sort of intervention that might become more commonplace after this movie hits theaters.

See for yourself in the trailer.

Look for Intervention, the dramedy feature film, in theaters on August 26th.
