[.ca] Good Boy



Entertaining:
We watched this as a family and were entertained. Do we really need a token gay couple in every movie/TV show? This is a kids movie! Back off the gay agenda.


I said I hated Cats & Dogs, I hate this.:
Just plain crap. I really hate this film. Dogs talk... an all right idea. BUT DOGS FROM A DIFFERENT PLANET! HORRIBLE!!!!!!!!! IT IS JUST... AGHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! DON'T WORRY, PEOPLE... THE DOCTOR SAYS AFTER WATCHING THIS FILM, YOU GET YOUR BRAIN BACK IN A MONTH. I hope everyone avoids this movie, losing your brain isn't enjoyable in any way possible.


I loved it:
The movie was funny, it had a good story, and the vioces and personalities fit the dogs well.


Half way from good and bad:
Now I know that Ebert & Roeper both hated this movie, they set this was a "very bad family film", or at least Ebert. But it seemed to go half way from a bad and good film for me, and I am going to give it 3 stars. Mostly I guess this might be for some young kids, and though it is rated for mild crude humor, though I don't know what really is supposed to be funny about this film. The best idea, is to rent this film once, wach it once, and then return to the video store, even really early, if you hated it that much. But if your kids like this film, buy it. As the movie begins it is exact 3 months to the day, that Owen Baker (Liam Aiken) became a dog walker, and he wants a dog, and his Mom ((Molly Shannon) and his Dad (Kevin Nealon) promsied him, he can half one on that date, and he spents his morning walking his neighbor's dogs, wich on the way, comes across a dog on the loose, that helps the dog catcher, catch. At at the pound, Owen finds the dog again, and adopts the dog. Even though she tries to get Owen to wait until they move into thier new home.


Good Boy:
Amy Good Boy Woof! Woof! Or, How's it going? What if your dog suddenly started to talk? What would you do? Owen Baker (Liam Aiken) has been walking dogs to earn one of his own. His dog Hubble (voiced by Mathew Broderick), after a mysterious "dream", begins to talk. Owen learns about Serious (The planet where all dogs came from millions of years ago). Like the fact that dogs came to earth to take it over. If the dogs have not taken over, the Greater Dane (voiced by Vanessa Redgrave) will take all the dogs away. When Owen is talking to Hubble through the woofer (a radio that Hubble used to communicate with Serious) he really captured the feeling of the movie. Reviewing this hart wrenching moment you understand Owen's love for Hubble. As director John Hoffman said, " it is sadder when you watch some one hold back their tears than when they cry their eyes out." Dogs are actors, too. It is amazing how the trainers got the dogs to do the things they did, without to much computer imaging. For example when they get 5 dogs to lie on their backs for an entire scene. Director John Hoffman is also the screenwriter. He said that he had all the breads of the dogs except for Hubble, before he got the dogs. The dog that played Hubble was an accident. Because of some milled crude hummer the movie was rated PG. The directing was a plus. The scenes were not choppy the costumes made me believe that the characters were real. Good Boy, the wonderful, heart warming movie, captured my heart!
