Review of The Shaggy Dog (2006)

By Amy Biancolli (582) for Houston Chronicle (970) on 10 Mar 2006

Shaggy Dog is a subpar remake of a subpar movie that can only spawn subpar remakes…

Review of The Shaggy Dog (2006)

By Tom Long (1,693) for Detroit News (2,682) on 10 Mar 2006

The Shaggy Dog is just what it wants to be -- wholesome, slapstick, family fun with nice animal rights and 'don't mess with mother nature…

Review of The Shaggy Dog (2006)

By Terry Lawson (645) for Detroit Free Press (942) on 10 Mar 2006

More assembled than groomed, The Shaggy Dog should do enough tricks and act cute enough to amuse an audience that wants only to have its belly…

Review of The Shaggy Dog (2006)

By Robert Denerstein (1,148) for Denver Rocky Mountain News (608) on 10 Mar 2006

No one's going to argue with a movie that underscores the importance of paying attention to kids, but for me at least, the sight of [Tim] Allen…

Review of The Shaggy Dog (2006)

By Mark Keizer (225) for Boxoffice Magazine (2,896) on 10 Mar 2006

It's a benignly bad creation, directed with one hand wrapped around the bullhorn and the other around a low-fat latte…

Review of The Shaggy Dog (2006)

By Randy Cordova (352) for Arizona Republic (3,909) on 10 Mar 2006

Disney's remake of its 1959 flick The Shaggy Dog is pretty flea-bitten from the get-go…

Review of The Shaggy Dog (2006)

By Dan Fienberg (310) for Zap2it.com (379) on 10 Mar 2006

If the improv exercise was merely Pretend you're a dog, Allen's got it down, but he never does anything unexpected…

Review of The Shaggy Dog (2006)

By E! Staff (118) for E! Online (838) on 10 Mar 2006

Young ones will squeal for Allen's ear-scratching antics, but their parents with fond memories of the original will itch from beginning to end…

Review of The Shaggy Dog (2006)

By Chris Hewitt (2,086) for St. Paul Pioneer Press (4,360) on 09 Mar 2006

Like Curious George and a half-dozen other recent movies aimed at children, The Shaggy Dog sandwiches in themes that speak to adults, resulting…

Review of The Shaggy Dog (2006)

By Sara Michelle Fetters (1,688) for MovieFreak.com (1,674) on 09 Mar 2006

So it's a mixed bag at best, but a mixed bag is still better than Disney's horrendous trailers and commercials would have led a person to believe…

Review of The Shaggy Dog (2006)

By Brian Orndorf (4,059) for FilmJerk.com (622) on 09 Mar 2006

This Shaggy Dog merely slops on computer trickery and heartwarming message 101 plotting in the absence of creative screenwriting and inspired…

Review of The Shaggy Dog (2006)

By Willie Waffle (1,383) for WaffleMovies.com (1,380) on 09 Mar 2006

It's a wonderful, funny and sweet movie the family can enjoy…

Ms. Curtin is one of several examples of quirky casting that make this Shaggy Dog much more fun than it might have been…

Review of The Shaggy Dog (2006)

By Cathy Jakicic (111) for Milwaukee Journal Sentinel (1,693) on 09 Mar 2006

The witless, cliché-ridden script -- the effort of a total of five writers -- doesn't do [Allen] any favors…

Review of The Shaggy Dog (2006)

By Kevin Crust (344) for Los Angeles Times (12,977) on 09 Mar 2006

Strictly for the very young who will find giggles in the anthropomorphic mash-ups and won't be too distracted by the predictably mawkish sitcom plot…

Review of The Shaggy Dog (2006)

By Roger Ebert (5,190) for Chicago Sun-Times (7,580) on 09 Mar 2006

It says something for Robert Downey Jr. that in a movie where a man becomes a dog, Downey creates the weirdest character…

Review of The Shaggy Dog (2006)

By Nancy Churnin (129) for Dallas Morning News (1,592) on 09 Mar 2006

The story is too silly to play to older kids. And there are more than a few moments that may give parents of younger ones pause…

Review of The Shaggy Dog (2006)

By Robert Newton (9) for Christian Science Monitor (3,788) on 09 Mar 2006

At least it is not a beast as dull as Doogal or as piddling as The Pink Panther…

Review of The Shaggy Dog (2006)

By Ann Hornaday (1,919) for Washington Post (9,851) on 09 Mar 2006
