Leave your thoughts about The Shaggy Dog.
| WaffleMovies.comWillie WaffleIt's a wonderful, funny and sweet movie the family can enjoy |
| Entertainment WeeklyLisa SchwarzbaumThe star (Allen), unleashed, is so energetic in his approximation of a bearded collie -- his nose sniffing the air, his whole being (which toggles between human and canine form) overcome by the need to fetch any stick thrown -- that his slobbery charm carries the picture. |
| E! OnlineE! StaffYoung ones will squeal for Allen's ear-scratching antics, but their parents with fond memories of the original will itch from beginning to end. |
| One Guy's OpinionFrank SwietekA mongrel marriage of frantic physical farce and sub-standard CGI work that turns out vaguely creepy rather than cute. |
| Modamag.comSusan GrangerTim Allen wreaks hilarious havoc with an uncanny canine-like performance. |
| Hollywood ReporterLuke SaderA fast-moving Walt Disney Co. comedy that manages to sail past many of the cliches usually found in this genre while throwing together a wild story line more apt for a new millennium. |
| Boston GlobeLouise KennedyWhat The Shaggy Dog feels like, more than anything, is an old-fashioned Disney movie. |
| Seattle TimesTom KeoghDirector 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. |
| Christianity TodayCarolyn ArendsA good-natured, sometimes silly family fun that will play especially well with the under-13 set. |
| Milwaukee Journal SentinelCathy JakicicThe witless, cliché-ridden script -- the effort of a total of five writers -- doesn't do [Allen] any favors. |
