Tim Allen barks, growls, and slobbers his way through the latest remake of the classic Disney suburban fable The Shaggy Dog. A mystical long-lived dog is kidnapped from Tibet by a nefarious corporation; when it escapes, it bites aspiring District Attorney Dave Douglas (Allen, The Santa Clause, Toy Story), who finds himself regressing into a dog in the courtroom. There's more to the plot--something to do with creating a youth serum from the dog's blood--but let's face it, that's not what anyone's going to see the movie for, and the "bad dad remembers how to love his family" theme is equally perfunctory. This is all about Allen running around like a dog and a cute sheepdog running around trying to do human things, and the movie does a competent job of playing with that scenario. Allen throws himself into doggieness with amusing abandon. Also featuring Kristin Davis (Sex and the City), Spencer Breslin (The Cat in the Hat), Jane Curtin (3rd Rock from the Sun), Danny Glover (Lethal Weapon), and Robert Downey Jr. (Kiss Kiss Bang Bang, Wonder Boys), who seems to be enjoying himself as a nefarious scientist at the nefarious corporation. --Bret Fetzer

 Better than the original...selected great actors/actresses! December 11, 2008

I liked the movie better than the original and Tim Allen did a marvelous job of playing an overworked dad and a lovable family dog. The movie also stars his wife (Kristen Davis; known best for her role in Sex and the City) and his two children. The family is trying to do everything they can to reverse the spell and bring Tim's character back to normal. I watched this 2 years ago when it came out in August 2006 (better to watch with others to get more out of the experience). This is a great family movie and it will keep you laughing every couple of minutes. The actors played their parts so well and realistically that it was hard to tell that they were just acting.
I definitely recommend this movie for all ages.
Awesome Family Fun!!! November 29, 2008
Jigsaw (Kentucky)
This is an awesome remake! In my opinion, it's funnier and better than the original. Tim Allen does an awesome job at being a dog. It kind of reminds me of Freaky Friday. When a 300-year-old dog bites a deputy district attorney named Dave Douglas, Dave is turned into a dog. His family thinks he's busy with work. When he turns into a dog, he finally sees what their lives are like when his kids are at school, or thinking about getting a tattoo. When he turns back human, his wife doesn't believe his story, and tries to prove that Dr. Kozak is testing on animals. If you love comedy, Tim Allen, and dogs, you'll love THE SHAGGY DOG!!!

This is another very funny Tim Allen Movie. Great for the whole family to see
The Shaggy Dog by Tim Allen September 7, 2008
M. McGhee (Fredericksburg, VA USA)
This is one of the best version of the Shaggy Dog I've seen. Tim Allen and all the other performers do an outstanding job in bringing their characters to life. There's plenty of action and definately a lot of humor. I expected it to be geared more towards the younger audiences but it's great for adults too. If you're "down and out" and need "a pick me up" this is definately one of the best DVSs to watch.
A surprisingly original and hilarious remake of an old movie. February 13, 2008
Patrick Matthews (Biggers, AR United States)
When I found out they'd made this movie, I thought it would just be a remake of the original one, but I was mistaken. This is an original movie and is funny! But then, with Tim Allen starring in it, how could it not be?
