We Just Saw 'The Shaggy Dog!'

phayes93 · 03-11-2006

DD and saw the new "Shaggy Dog" movie on opening night. I went thinking there's now way it can compare to my favorite vintage black-and-white Disney, Fred MacMurray, good-old-days, feel-good movie....

WAS I WRONG. This new version is very good. I hate to admit it, but I like it better than the old one! Tim Allen is great (he's Disney's current verison of Dean Jones or Fred MacMurray I guess). The rest of the moviegoers seemed to like it as well. The storyline is kind of a blend of "The Shaggy Dog" and "The Shaggy D.A." It's not just a re-hash of the old movie. Danny Glover is good as Tim Allen's boss (but I wish he had been given a larger role). Overall, it is very well done. It's much better a "re-make" than "Flubber." (Even though I kind of liked Flubber, too.)

The new version of "The Shaggy Dog" gets 2 thumbs up from us!

hey thats awesome!!!
It wasn't very busy at the movie theater I work at tonight...I thought it would be selling out! Maybe it'll be one of those word of mouth movies and by next weekend it'll be full up

Thanks for the review I'll make sure I get out and see it!

Thanks for the review!

I am a huge Tim Allen and Disney movie fan, so I am really looking forward to seeing this.

Thanks Phayes, thats great to hear a good review!!! Not sure I will be seeing it but I am so glad you think it was better than the "Flubber" remake!

We just returned and I too give this movie TWO THUMBS up... I thought it was very creative and FUN! However, when DW asked if I would like to go with our girls I was not really thrilled about seeing this movie... I did not think that they could make a good remake of this movie, but I think they did an awesome job!!

So glad to hear that it was good. We were going to go this weekend with the kids, but my mom asked if we would wait till next weekend, so they could go with us when they are in town.

Speaking of The Shaggy Dog ---

Guess who's now on the waiting list for a Bearded Collie (the breed used in the movie)? ME.

I have wanted a "Beardie" since I was a kid (I had some relatives with one). Just seeing them in the movie convinced me to finally go for it. We're hopeful to get one within a few months from a Bearded Collie Rescue group. (They used English Sheep Dogs in the original, but Beardies are a little smaller and I think CUTE as heck! They're family-oriented, sociable and quite smart.

But remember: "Beardies" aren't for everyone. They need a fenced-in backyard (they're escape artists) and lots of grooming.
