The film just translates the basic idea for a new generation under the ill-conceived notion that it was necessary.

This is a classic family fun fare, likely destined for sequelhood.

The unruly pack of subplots make The Shaggy Dog much more convoluted than it needs to be.

A good-natured, sometimes silly family fun that will play especially well with the under-13 set.

Director Brian Robbins keeps the special effects and animatronics to a minimum, relying more often than not on real (albeit trained) dogs. That extra bit of authenticity is refreshing.

The Shaggy Dog may not make you howl, but it does offer a few bona fide belly laughs, which is more than the last few Tim Allen movies could boast.

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.

A surprisingly touching family comedy with real emotion.

Disney's tried-and-true slapstick material (est. 1959) is here given a heinously unimaginative interpretation by five screenwriters and a director who manages to squander the gifts of an absurdly overqualified supporting cast.
