In fact, watching any Allen film feels
wrong. I mean, he’s always the same; he never brings much to the
table and admit it, all his films are half-cooked redo’s of
earlier, better films.
Shaggy Dog
is no exception – it’s a contemporary retool of the
ol’ Fred MacMurray comedy about a wannabe D.A that inadvertently
turns into a sheepdog at the most inopportune of times, that although
tolerable and apologetically entertaining in parts, is just another
example of just how dark corporates crap.
From wasting good A-listers - my god, what is
Robert Downey Jr doing in this!! - because well, Disney have the money
to do so, to pushing kids buttons with ‘middle-aged man grows
tail’ jokes, it really is quite a sad affair. But again, your
little one probably won’t mind…. Nor notice that Allen is
actually having forty winks in some of his scenes.
EXTRAS
Extras include deleted scenes, a music video & bloopers.
Conclusion:
Movie 60% Extras: 50%
