A Dog's Breakfast

“A Dog’s Breakfast” is the project of actor turned writer, director, and story teller David Hewlett. David is best known for his portrayal of the genius and arrogant Dr. Rodney McKay on SciFi’s Channels enormously successful Stargate SG-1 and Stargate Atlantis.

Produced by his wife Jane Loughman and starring himself, his lovely and talented sister Kate Hewlett, as well as fellow SGA cast member the ever funny Paul McGillion. Guest staring SG-1's Christopher Judge, SGA’s Rachel Lutrell, the beautiful Amanda Byram, and of course Mars The Dog.

David’s character, Patrick, is an eccentric somewhat neurotic 40ish guy who still lives in the house he inherited from his parents with his dog Mars. He eats every flavor of his fruit cereal each morning from a different bowl, is addicted to on line auctions (hence much of the missing furniture and pictures) and is obsessed by a spider and its web just outside his living room window.

But Patrick’s little world is soon turned upside down when his sister Marilyn (Kate Hewlett), a makeup artist, shows up with her new fiancee Ryan (Paul McGillion who plays several parts), as a well known TV SciFi star on the fictional show Star-Crossed.

This cleverly written and wonderfully acted slapstick comedy is the best eighty-eight minutes you will spend in a long time. “A Dog’s Breakfast” is packed with fun filled prat falls, plot turns and misdirections that will keep you on the edge of your seat laughing.

As a supporter of independent films “A Dog’s Breakfast” is clear proof that it doesn’t take big budget Hollywood to produce a quality movie that has found a home in my DVD collection. You can watch “A Dog’s Breakfast” on Hulu and if you enjoy it as much as I did...I encourage you to help support independent films by purchasing your copy at Amazon.com.
