Linbeymusol Wonderful character development!
Gutsycurene Fanciful, disturbing, and wildly original, it announces the arrival of a fresh, bold voice in American cinema.
Kodie Bird True to its essence, the characters remain on the same line and manage to entertain the viewer, each highlighting their own distinctive qualities or touches.
Billy Ollie Through painfully honest and emotional moments, the movie becomes irresistibly relatable
Laura Hall-Schordje I found Good Boy! while flipping through channels this afternoon and was pulled in to watch it all. There is not other word for the movie but cute--it is not great art, but a delightful little fantasy about dogs and people and their special bond. The voice actors for the dogs are excellent, with a special shout out for Brittany Murphy's nervous Nelly--quite touching. There is not much computerized distortion of the dogs' appearance so the dogs are cute and natural. If you are going to make a movie about dogs, it is nice to see real dogs. Hubble is adorable! The acting is a little stiff and formulaic from most characters, but Liam Aiken gives an amazingly natural and touching performance. I cared about this kid and Hubble the dog. I admit to a few tears at the end. Nice for the whole family--even my cat-person son liked this.
TheBlueHairedLawyer I honestly wasn't expecting much from this thing to begin with, I mean come on, the idea that dogs were meant to rule the world but humans just happened to do better? Dogs are dogs, no amount of talking ones in Hollywood will make them anything more than just animals. The plot basically is this: Owen is a preteen boy upset because his parents are always moving and he is dragged along by them. He wears a hideous jumpsuit and walks dogs as a job to save up for a puppy of his own. He soon buys Hubble, a cranky dog with curly hair, and next thing you know it's speaking to him. The other dogs Owen walks all says things too, and Owen meanwhile befriends a girl his age who owns one of Owen's 'clients'. Owen is told by Hubble that dogs were all from Sirius, the dog star, and are aliens meant to dominate the planet, but their roles reversed and now humans are in charge. Hubble was sent to earth to report back on the takeover progress to his leader, a huge Great Dane. According to Hubble, if he can't prove dogs have taken over, all dogs will be removed from the planet somehow and taken back to Sirius for re-training. What? You mean, no more dogs peeing on my mailbox? No more dogs licking me in the street because their owners are irresponsible? No more tacky little dress-up costumes for dogs? Oh, the humanity, what will be done? Put bluntly, really idiotic movie. And I'm sorry but all the constant dog poop jokes were a little - no, a lot - much. It was disgusting. It's bad enough having a lousy plot but then to bring that into it as well? The acting was bad, story was bad, soundtrack was annoying and nerve-wracking, the whole thing horribly inaccurate and unrealistic, even for a fantasy film. They should have called it 'Bad Boy!' because it was bad, no, beyond bad, terrible! Don't pay to watch this, it isn't worth it. If you get it for free somehow, burn it. It's an awful and pathetic movie that really shouldn't have been made.
KCRein This is a great movie for anyone. I bought the DVD a week ago and I must have watched it 11 times since!! O.K., the whole dogs as aliens thing is a little strange, but it sure is cute.This movie is about a 12 year old boy named Owen (Liam Aiken) who walks neighborhood dogs so he can make money to buy his own dog. Owen finally gets his own dog and names him Hubble. But Hubble isn't your ordinary dog. Turns out Hubble is an interplanetary agent from the dog star Sirius and he can TALK!! In fact all the dogs Owen walks can talk, too. Owen discovers that dogs were first sent to Earth to rule the world.What makes this movie so entertaining is the voices of the dogs. Lets see, there is Mathew Broderick, Delta Burke, Donald Faison, Cheech Marin, Brittany Murphy, Vanessa Redgrave, and Carl Reiner.This movie is a must see!!
laciefrazee I love this movie! It's so funny and cute! Two paws up! The cast is great. I like the dogs a lot! Liam Aiken does an awesome job in this film. What a great bunch of voices to play the dogs! Shep is very funny and Wilson is hilarious, Barbara-Ann has a good personality, Nelly I think is my favorite, Hubble is very cute. I remember when I seen the trailer for it, I was DYING TO SEE IT! I was very happy when I first seen it. There is a lot of funny parts and hilarious lines, but it was when I bought it on dvd that I found a very sad part, when the dogs have to go back to the home star and the owners don't even know and the dogs are so sad. I love this movie and it's a great story too.
