We've seen it a million times.
Disney's tried-and-true slapstick material (est. 1959) is here given a heinously unimaginative interpretation by five screenwriters and a director who manages to squander the gifts of an absurdly overqualified supporting cast.
The unruly pack of subplots make The Shaggy Dog much more convoluted than it needs to be.
The Shaggy Dog may not make you howl, but it does offer a few bona fide belly laughs, which is more than the last few Tim Allen movies could boast.
This is a classic family fun fare, likely destined for sequelhood.
Director Brian Robbins keeps the special effects and animatronics to a minimum, relying more often than not on real (albeit trained) dogs. That extra bit of authenticity is refreshing.
A surprisingly touching family comedy with real emotion.
full review in Greek
A good-natured, sometimes silly family fun that will play especially well with the under-13 set.
...better than one might've expected, primarily due to the enthusiasm with which Allen tackles his role...
At least Fred MacMurray had the good sense to let the co-star playing his son turn into a dog. But this is a Tim Allen picture, so he does the honors himself.
The film just translates the basic idea for a new generation under the ill-conceived notion that it was necessary.
Robert Downey Jr. was good in this.
Super Reviewer
A pretty stupid movie, Tim Allen disappoints me.
Not that great, a good family film at best.
