The Shaggy Dog Reviews
San Francisco Chronicle
Ruthe Stein
The Shaggy Dog is as good as family entertainment gets, meaning it will tickle kids while throwing the occasional bone to parents to keep them from growling.
Orlando Sentinel
Roger Moore
This is a Dog with heart.
Seattle Times
Tom Keogh
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.
USA Today
Claudia Puig
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.
Miami Herald
Peter Debruge
This is precisely the type of moviegoing experience engineered for those who still get a laugh when the Baha Men hit Who Let the Dogs Out? accompanies a doggie mayhem montage.
New York Post
Lou Lumenick
To paraphrase the over used song employed in Disney's latest dismal recycling of The Shaggy Dog -- who let this dog out?
Chicago Tribune
Michael Wilmington
It's a typical hit picture remake, which is never a good sign.
Detroit News
Tom Long
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' messages running beneath the surface.
New York Daily News
Jami Bernard
Watching a pack of dogs sniff Tim Allen's butt -- repeatedly -- is probably someone's idea of a good time at the movies. Not mine.
Denver Rocky Mountain News
Robert Denerstein
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 running around on all fours failed to unleash howls of laughter.
Houston Chronicle
Amy Biancolli
Shaggy Dog is a subpar remake of a subpar movie that can only spawn subpar remakes.
Detroit Free Press
Terry Lawson
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 tickled.
Austin Chronicle
Marc Savlov
There are precious few surprises here, but parents will find director Robbins' breezy remake a painless affair and, judging by the yowls of laughter from the peanut gallery at the screening I attended, the kids will be barking all the way home.
Ebert & Roeper
Richard Roeper
We've seen it a million times.
Village Voice
Rob Nelson
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.
Zap2it.com
Dan Fienberg
If the improv exercise was merely "Pretend you're a dog," Allen's got it down, but he never does anything unexpected.
Associated Press
David Germain
The Shaggy Dog is a well-dispositioned but forgettable mutt without any new tricks.
Boston Globe
Louise Kennedy
It's a pleasant surprise to find a movie that genuinely pitches itself at a child's level while also giving parents some real laughs.
Arizona Republic
Randy Cordova
Disney's remake of its 1959 flick The Shaggy Dog is pretty flea-bitten from the get-go.
MovieFreak.com
Sara Michelle Fetters
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. Kids will certainly adore it, which, after all, is probably the point.
