Won Ton Ton: The Dog Who Saved Hollywood Ratings & Reviews
Aisle Seat
Mike McGranaghan
Tries to cram in so many old-Hollywood ideas that it causes the plot to lose focus.
Mountain Xpress (Asheville, NC)
Ken Hanke
Won Ton Ton, the Dog Who Saved Hollywood is such a good-natured mess of a movie that it's hard not to like it.
Chicago Tribune
Gene Siskel
A scattershot comedy that cant make up its mind whether to be "wholesome family entertainment" or a smutty film industry in-joke. It goes both ways.
New York Daily News
Jerry Oster
The acting... is extravagantly bad, as if grimaces and gesticulations would conceal the script's inadequacies.
Detroit Free Press
Susan Stark
You've heard of "Lassie, Come Home"? They should call this one, "Won Ton Ton, Go Home."
St. Louis Post-Dispatch
Joe Pollack
Supposedly a comic spoof, it lacks humor. It also lacks grace, class, style and intelligence, a group of attributes more common in their absence than their presence in many Hollywood productions, but not generally absent to such a great degree.
Los Angeles Times
Kevin Thomas
Sixty guest stars can't save "Won Ton Ton, the Dog Who Saved Hollywood" from its unrelentingly crass tone and steady stream of unfunny jokes.
Fort Worth Star-Telegram/DFW.com
Perry Stewart
Dern follows through on the comedic promise he showed in "Family Plot" and Miss Kahn is never less than terrific- especially in her scenes with the dog.
Austin American-Statesman
Patrick Taggart
There are only three really good jokes in the entire thing. And three good gags do not a comedy make.
San Francisco Examiner
Jeanne Miller
The film might have been enormously entertaining. But [Winner's] clumsy and essentially humorless approach to the film's fragile material ultimately does it in.
Los Angeles Free Press
Ruth Batchelor
In the hands of British director Michael Winner, whose funniest picture was Death Wish, this dog really dies - not the animal, the whole film.
Gannett News Service
Bernard Drew
The silly, noisy comic strip Michael Winner has directed, from a screenplay by Arnold Schulman and Cy Howard, is about as amusing as watching your old mother break a leg.
Parallax View
Richard T. Jameson
... as lowbrow as a dachshund and as funny as a dead rat.
Film Frenzy
Matt Brunson
Because it was made during the 1970s, it's a family film that includes sexual harassment, attempted rape, stag films, and prostitution -- to say nothing of scenes in which dogs are involved in some pretty stressful and gruesome situations.
