Summary: Dogue lovers' special
Review: This feel good comedy with apropriate moments of drama is one of the better human/dog movies to come out of Hollywood since Lassie and Rin Tin Tin. A true tear jerker in the end, it is appealing to animal lovers and has plenty of lightheartedness throughout. In spite of the overshadowing premise that this is a "cop movie", it goes well beyond that. Hanks is his usual funny yet at times poingnat self and the personality of his new "partner" Hooch, a fine Dogue de Bordeaux present a wonderful contrast.

Summary: Almost Great
Review: This is a funny and entertaining film, but I can't reccomend it whole-heartedly. It has two or three sexually suggestive scenes that are totally unnecessary, non-plot-advancing, out-of-character, and irritating. We see Scott wrestle with Hooch in his bikini briefs and practically moon the camera during the entire scene. Tom Hanks had just lost some weight after BIG and wanted to show off his new bod, but this was out of character for Scott Turner. A straight-laced, reserved guy like Scott would not wear black bikinis. Then Reginald VelJohnson asks Scott about his sex life in a very suggestive and vulgar way. WHY??? Then, Scott and the love interest, naturally, have to have sex. This act serves to plot-advancing or character revelation purpose, so WHY IS IT IN THERE??????? Some perverts in Hollywood are obsessively bent on forcing their lifestyle and base manners on their customers...us. Despite all this rant, I still enjoy the movie and fast forward past these brief parts.

Summary: A good family comedy/tearjerker
Review: This is a good example of one of actor Tom Hanks earlier works. He is terrific in the role of a somewhat nuerotic police detective who finds himself straddled with the loveable, slobbery Hooch, a gigantic messy dog turned witness in a small-town murder. This is not a "great" film in the artistic sense, but it's terrific fun film to watch with the whole family for a bunch of wholesome fun and laughs. Though it is mostly a comedy, the movie has an ending that leaves me in tears every time I watch it. This is a movie to buy and watch over and over with your family.

Summary: Tom Hanks in a supporting role to a dog?
Review: This is one of Tom Hanks' earlier roles where he plays a detective who takes in an amiable, yet initially troublesome, bull mastiff named Hooch. This is one great film all dog-owners should see; it will make you laugh and in some places, bring you to emotional tears. If you don't currently own a dog, this film should give you a great vicarious experience of what to expect from having a pet like Hooch.

Summary: Tom Hanks Best Movie....Turner And Hooch.
Review: This movie is by far Hanks' best film to date. His awe inspiring performance is mezmorizing. His on screen releationship with Hooch is titilating. Without a doubt, one of the best movies of all time. It has a little something for everyone.....with a very, very sad ending. You'll laugh, you'll cry. But all in all you will walk away with a little Hooch in you. I have seen this movie a hundred or so times and I keep wishing that the movie just mind end a little different. Please Mr. Director....there has to be an alternate ending. Can't wait for a sequel.

Summary: In The Same League As Old Yeller!
Review: This Tom Hanks and Beasley The Dog movie from 1989 has always been a great movie to watch for it's wonderful story about man's best friend. It's great to see the relationship between the Hanks character develop during the movie, from being at odds with Hooch's slobbering ways to eventually becoming his best friend and partner against crime. Like another great canine film, Old Yeller, the ending is a sad but ultimately happy one. Rent a copy of this under appreciated classic.

Summary: One of the least appreciated, sweet little films of all time
Review: Thoroughly charming - one of those rare films that is unabashedly what it means to be: a simple movie about a man learning to love something besides himself. In this case, it happens to be a dog (a very unusual beloved beast). There are little gems of performances, John McIntire as Amos, who brings the old saw about "people look like their dogs" to life, and Mare Winningham who really shows how powerful a performance understatement can make. And of course Tom Hanks, who is as always the most charming human being in the world. He also brings this very flawed person to admirable life. Then Hooch, of course, whose real name is sadly lacking in the list of credits. The screenplay itself is a marvel of simple, unassuming comedy. If we want to get "appreciatin'", then Hanks' urgently yelled, "I got a muffin for you, Hooch!" is a far more immediate and understandable cry of the everyman than "Reuben! Reuben!" And there can be no more perfect cry of human frustration than Hanks imploring Hooch (who has, after eating, sleeping, and going on his nightly "rounds", continued to howl all night), "What?! What?!" Hooch's ending is very sad, especially if you have young ones in the house, but the sadness is redeemed by a hopeful ending. I love this movie. It never ceases to make me smile after the worst of days. And no film can have a higher commendation than that.
