Better Late Then Never

It's a mild crowd pleaser for people who are exhausted by blockbusters.

I have absolutely never seen anything like this movie before. You have to see this movie.

A film of deceptively outspoken contemporary relevance, this is cinema at its most alert, alarming and alive.

(Flash Review)Yes. Yes I did watch Turner & Hooch. This is not a joke. My expectations were hoping it would be better than Hot To Trot (Loooow Bar) and thankfully, it exceeded that by a rather larger margin. This is actually an OK movie and from a dog I found utterly gross from the start, by the end I sort of cared what happened to him. Hanks plays a detective about to move up in the world from a small local police department to big city action. He is a hyper rules follower, obsessed by order and cleanliness and very detail oriented. So of course by a certain circumstances, he ends up in possession of an old, large, slobbering and bull in a China shop hound with a bossy personality. The plot revolves around a local murder and the dog a key player in case. To what degree and how absurdly will the hound pester Hanks? Will he feed Hanks some clues to the case? The dog and Hanks surprisingly built a believable friendship however, there were too many scenes with Hanks in jock strap sized, Italian, Euro underwear. Overall, not as bad as one would expect.

Tom Hanks was, at the beginning of his career, an actor very focused on light and quickly forgettable comedies. This would only be one more if it did not have the support of a furry friend who shows to be absolutely irresistible: the dog that plays Hooch. The way Hanks irritates himself about the dog is very funny, as is the way the dog turns the life of Scott Turner (Hanks' character) into a nightmare. Turner is an organized cop, very methodical and neat, and Hooch totally destroys his furniture, his things and even his car. All this happens in the middle of a larger plot in which the death of the dog's previous owner is investigated, a murder whose only witness is precisely the animal. The ending is quite unexpected and deeply moving. Hanks has been well throughout the film but the dog is clearly the star here. It's not a fabulous movie or a work of art, but it's a great movie to watch with the whole family, it's sure to make everyone laugh.

I'm gonna be honest about something! This review is going to be pretty crappy, because I don't remember this movie very much. I saw this in the summer and instantly forgot about it! I gave it a chance because Tom Hanks is one of my favorite actors. I've had my fair share of these types of movies (Belushi's K-9 trilogy is more than enough!) I do remember that the dog wasn't very entertaining. He certainly didn't steal the show like they often do. Hanks is average by his standards in this one. It's not fully his fault. He didn't have much to work with. Mare Winningham is OK as the love interest. Craig T. Nelson is a solid presence as always (I predicted the twist to his character, though) Reginald VelJohnson deserved more screen timeI'd pass on this one if I were you. It isn't horrible, but entirely forgettable5/10

In Turner and Hooch, Tom Hanks is Scott Turner, a detective who has only 3 day left working at the police department. He wants some "real cases",until he meets Hooch: a junkyard type of bulldog who Scott is forced to work with when Hooch witnesses the murder of his owner and Scott has to take care of Hooch for a while and insanity ensues.The Good: In Turner and Hooch, Craig T. Nelson is the chief and he delivers a decent performance.Tom Hanks is somewhat funny in this film.Hooch makes Turner's life a living nightmare.The Bad: The script could have been written betterThe romance scenes are very unnecessaryAt the end of the movie, The Dog dies! Why!??!?!!?!?!? So Basically, it can go both ways but in all honesty, Turner and Hooch was good but not one of Tom Hanks' best work.6/10
