(1 - 21) of 21 OFCS Rating: 33% Rotten Page   1   "Coal, the Bearded Collie playing Shaggy, upstages everyone in this amusing update of a Disney classic."   ReelTalk Movie Reviews   Betty Jo Tucker D+ "This Shaggy Dog merely slops on computer trickery and heartwarming message 101 plotting in the absence of creative screenwriting and inspired direction."   FilmJerk.com   Brian Orndorf 1/5 "Anyone who includes the song "Who Let the Dogs Out?" anywhere within their film will be kicked in the shin, once a day, every day, for one full year."   eFilmCritic.com   David Cornelius 2.5/4 "...better than one might've expected, primarily due to the enthusiasm with which Allen tackles his role..."   Reel Film Reviews   David Nusair 1/4 "Ranks as one of Disney's weakest theatrical releases in years. Woof, indeed."   TheMovieBoy.com   Dustin Putman D "Quintessential Disney cannibalization, with no wit or energy to justify its existence."   EricDSnider.com   Eric D. Snider 1.5/4 "Allen's latest flea-bitten family fare fluff is indeed a dog--both literally and figuratively...[an] infantile tail-wagging fantasy."   Movie Eye   Frank Ochieng C- "A mongrel marriage of frantic physical farce and sub-standard CGI work that turns out vaguely creepy rather than cute."   One Guy's Opinion   Frank Swietek 5/10 "At least Fred MacMurray had the good sense to let the co-star playing his son turn into a dog. But this is a Tim Allen picture, so he does the honors himself."   DVDTown.com   John J. Puccio "The Shaggy Dog wears its heart of on its paw, capitalizing on Dave's transformation to better understand his family."   Light Views   John Larsen 1/5 "full review in Greek"   Movies for the Masses   Joseph Proimakis 3.5/5 "good, clean, silly fun"   7M Pictures   Kevin Carr 2/4 "It simultaneously overloads the first film's silly teen-wolf metaphor with modern family dysfunction and coarsens the body-switch mishaps into juvenile shtick about marking territory and slobbering dog kisses."   TV Guide's Movie Guide   Maitland McDonagh C+ "This remake is heavy on the special effects...but the biggest difference is how the film becomes another commentary on the lamentable state of today's parents."   Reel Times: Reflections on Cinema   Mark Pfeiffer 2/4 "Anybody given the assignment to write a movie in which a man turns into a dog would come up with these same jokes."   Aisle Seat   Mike McGranaghan B- " The lab experiments include CGI genetic cross-breeds like a dog-frog combo that exemplify this movie's own uneasy mixture of slapstick and sentiment."   Movie Mom at Yahoo! Movies   Nell Minow 1.5/4 "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."   Slant Magazine   Nick Schager 2/5 "I now know what comedy in hell is like."   Filmcritic.com   Pete Croatto D "The Shaggy Dog is wholesome, yes. And safe. And homogenized and soulless and utterly devoid of anything worthwhile."   Flipside Movie Emporium   Rob Vaux 8/10 "Tim Allen wreaks hilarious havoc with an uncanny canine-like performance."   Modamag.com   Susan Granger 2.5/4 "You don't go to The Shaggy Dog expecting anything more than what it delivers -- an innocuous family comedy enlivened by some winning slapstick gags. Man's best friend would approve."   Reel.com   Timothy Knight  (1 - 21) of 21 OFCS Rating: 33% Rotten Page   1
