I didn't really like this. But I'm not the target audience so that doesn't really matter, I guess? Poor Trevor tries to look after his impossible dog, but ends up stealing handbags and breaking into houses by accident. Also, a large percentage of the plot is how horrible and hilarious it would be to have a girlfriend and have people know about it, and I just don't think that helps anyone.
