Revenge for Jolly!

Harry wakes up after a night of heavy drinking with his cousin Cecil to find that his small dog, Jolly, has been killed at home. Devastated and angry, he vows to find whoever is responsible. With Cecil along for the ride, Harry loads his car with weapons and sets off on a drunken, violent search for the culprit, leaving damage behind him wherever the trail leads. Brian Petsos wrote the screenplay and produces, and he plays Harry; Oscar Isaac plays Cecil. The supporting cast includes Elijah Wood, Kristen Wiig, Adam Brody and Ryan Phillippe, and the film runs 85 minutes.

Chadd Harbold directed. Revenge for Jolly! was the first of the two features he has directed to date, arriving a decade before Private Property. It is an American production from Sony Pictures Home Entertainment, made for a budget of 10 million USD, and it was released in July 2012.

Audience response has been modest. On IMDb it holds a rating of 4.6 out of 10 from around 1,700 votes, and on TMDB it also stands at 4.6 out of 10, though from roughly 52 votes. The two figures agree closely, but the much larger IMDb sample carries more weight in showing how viewers received the film.
