The Shaggy Dog
The tale of a workaholic dad-turned-dog who finds that being man's best friend shows him the most important job - being a great dad.
Critics Sentiment
Kozak partially transforms in court exposing the illegal experimentation
Dave's family unknowingly houses him as a dog thinking he's Shaggy
The film recovers from its lowest point during the family housing sequence to peak during the courtroom climax, gaining 2.2 points as reviewers found the final confrontation genuinely entertaining.
Critics found The Shaggy Dog to be a mediocre family film that starts promisingly but quickly devolves into cheap slapstick and poor special effects. While some reviewers appreciated Tim Allen's committed performance and the courtroom climax, most felt the film was boring, humorless, and a waste of its talented cast including Robert Downey Jr. The consensus was that even children seemed restless during much of the runtime.
