Amy is a seemingly normal young girl adored by her parents and golden-boy fianc. Her future looks bright until her fianc suggests they tell each other their darkest secrets - things they have never told anyone. When Amy finally relents and reveals her secret everything falls apart.
'Sleeping Dogs', the first feature film from Bobcat Goldthwaite of Police Academy fame, tells the story of Amy, played by Melinda Page Hamilton, a girl with a very big secret from her college days. Unusually controversial for a film which, ultimately, is a romantic comedy, her secret concerns a spot of bestiality that she engaged in during a particularly lonely moment. Unfortunately for Amy, her secret cannot remain secret for ever and in a fit of post-coital honesty, she tells all to straight-laced fiance John. Needless to say, John does not take this revelation well and their relationship is soon crumbling, albeit in a comedic fashion. 'Sleeping Dogs' was apparently written in three days and then filmed in two weeks on a budget of only $50,000 and so it is not always the most polished of films. However, the jokes are dark and sharp and the necessary sentimentality is well managed, making 'Sleeping Dogs' a hugely entertaining surprise of a film.

Romantic comedy directed by Bobcat Goldthwait. Amy (Melinda Page Hamilton) is an apple-pie, all-American girl with John (Bryce Johnson) the trophy fiancé, loving parents and, generally, all the pieces of the puzzle in place. When John suggests they deal all the cards and be completely honest with each other about their darkest secrets one night, she faces a dilemma about a past indiscretion she's particularly ashamed of. On the advice of her mum and a co-worker, she decides to let it out. Neither of the advisors has any idea what the secret was, however - or that it involved a canine. Things get predictably manic as John struggles to accept that the family pet that shares their bed has a shared past with his fiancée, the likes of which he could never have imagined...
