The Shaggy Dog reviews are coming in, and they look… well… shaggy. Well what a surprise, a Tim Allen film that isn’t getting good reviews (although I REALLY LOVED Galaxy Quest). Wow… a movie about a guy who turns into a dog… and it’s NOT getting great reviews? Shocking.
Here what some of the critics are saying in their The Shaggy Dog reviews:
“The latest mutation of a franchise that Disney probably should have had spayed or neutered years ago.”
Justin Chang, VARIETY
“Devoid of cleverness or anything approaching reinvention, the film relies on special effects and its cast, human and animal, for its limited appeal. Hopefully, it will be limited enough to spare us Son of the Shaggy Dog.”
Kevin Crust, LOS ANGELES TIMES
“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.”
Luke Sader, HOLLYWOOD REPORTER
“PETA members may take to The Shaggy Dog. Everyone else over the age of 10, however, will likely prefer a night of sniffing butts to this latest Tim Allen stinker.”
Nicholas Schager, SLANT MAGAZINE
As of this writing, The Shaggy Dog is holding a sad 32% rating on Rotten Tomatoes. But come on… is anyone really surprised? I submit you are NOT. You can read more The Shaggy Dog reviews here.
