The Shaggy Dog Reviews |
The only one who profits from the experience is Robert Downey Jr., playing an evil scientist. When he’s onscreen, the Shaggy Dog feels different — more mischievous, more exciting, more fun.

...is quintessential Disney cannibalization, with no wit or energy to justify its existence. The sight of a grown man behaving like a dog is funny for a minute; unfortunately, the film lasts 98.

...It goes without saying that “The Shaggy Dog” doesn’t have the charm of the Tommy Kirk original or the Dean Jones sequel. This “Shaggy Dog” merely slops on computer trickery and heartwarming message 101 plotting in the absence of creative screenwritingand inspired direction.

Despite saccharine speeches about family togetherness, the movie earns its laughs, spoofing animal lovers even as it dishes out cute animal tricks. This is a classic family fun fare, likely destined for sequelhood. [read review]
