Must Love Dogs in 25 Words or Less
John Cuasack hasn't done a truly bad movie in a long time — maybe never — but this is just junk, narratively dishonest and formulaic. Grade: D+

"narratrive": probably a typologism, and a happy one. Narrative that's contrived - "narratrive." Hee! (Look. If I don't amuse myself, who will?)
Whoops!
That's a good reading, and I'd just let the typo stand to mean "contrived+narrative" (and perhaps even take retroactive credit for having meant that in the first place, since I do occasionally mash words in order to stay under 25) save that the word takes "dishonest" in context, and that combination would then connote "dishonestly contrived, in a narrative sense" which makes a less than ideal amount of sense.
But, for those of you coming to this later, be aware: "narratively" was originally "narratrively."
