I kinda like this movie since I'm a dog person! (but the ending confused me and this film let Matthew Robbins who also directed *Batteries Not Included (1987) leave the director's chair and went back to writing screenplays! plus Cindy Williams and David Rasche are in this film as well)
Honestly only actor performances i enjoyed were honestly the two criminals. I enjoyed their banter. Everyone else kinda mid or below. Also the dog hostage scene was hilarious
Not going to lie this is a childhood favorite of mine, I can see it's not perfect but I think the creative story and wacky characters make it an enjoyable watch.
I know this movie cause when i was a kid, despite never actually seen the movie, i had seen a few publicity spots in the now extinct channels Jetix and Disney XD. I remembered the part where the kid was tied to a chair in the burning building, but as i said, i never saw the full movie. Now that i saw this review and i know this film's plot in-depth, i just can say: what the actual f**k is this? I mean, i wasn't expecting a fully realistic film from a movie about a boy and his dog, but this is going too far. I like absurd humor, but this movie is so absurd that it makes Airplane and The Naked Gun look like a real life-based story. This movie barely makes sense at all. I mean, a dog who knows CPR and Morse code? A dog who knows how to play videogames? A dog who drinks alcohol and gets an alcohol test and then gets fined? A dog who is brought to testify in court and sent to a human jail? A dog who then gets a job as a waiter? And then, at the end, when both the boy and the dog are in the hospital, the latter is inexplicably visited by all the humans and dogs he met on his journey including the arrested villains to wish him a healthy recovery (and i repeat, including the same guys who tried to kill him)? To paraphrase Deadpool, What kind of coked-out, glass pipe-sucking freakshow screenwriter came up with that bulls**t? I can't believe the director is a guy who wrote a Cannes Film Festival Award-winning screenplay. That's my opinion. And i don't intend to insult anyone. If someone likes this movie, fine. I would also still watch it just to make fun of it and because i like some of these movies. But honestly, if i could make a movie about a kid (whether is boy or girl) and his/her dog, i would make it a bit more realistic.
As a guy that lives in Minnesota and with a vikings fan in my family I habe feeling this part was written by a person that hates green Bay. Cause they do take their sports super seriously..
i hate this movie mean spirited humor is one thing but this movie goes way too far almost everyone in this movie is either stupid or the worst kind of awful especially the father, and the part with the fast food place that was serving dog meat is one of the most unpleasant things i have seen in any movie period.
I actually really enjoyed this movie as a kid
Seeing the Cinema Snob's review of this same movie... made me want to see this review... for some reason...
Swell singing, Media Hunter.
5:09 you wanna know something, guys? Chuckie's dad is portrayed by the same man who portrayed Sledge Hammer. Seriously.
I actually remember seeing this when I was little. I barely remember it and after watching this it's easy to see why.
I used to love this movie as a kid. But looking at it now, I see that there were a lot of jokes I didn't get. Lol

I'm actually kinda impressed how far this movie goes for the sake of the joke.
