Plot:
Much better than your average cop-and-dog movie (e.g., K-9), Turner and Hooch is really a love story about a control freak (Tom Hanks) who gradually resigns to the messy chaos of a sweet...( read more

Laughs, Sweetness, & Sadness.
I admit it...I'm a sucker for a Hanks film...I can't help it. His charm is ALMOST reminiscent of the great James Stewart, he has mastered the "twinkle-in-the-eye" and the lovably warm goofy smile with ease...both characteristics that may have won me over here...Not to mention the fact that there is a very unique, camera friendly canine involved (dogs automatically earn points in my rating system - and this one earns points for achieving a "character-arc")
Sure, it's not perfect...but the early scenes between Hanks & Hooch "getting to used to each other" are hilarious, and somehow the two manage to have screen chemistry during the stakeout scene - not an easy task for an actor (or a writer, to create something interesting occurring between a man and a dog stuck in a car for hours...) You can't help but grow fond of the two of them, and by the conclusion you're feeling something you didn't expect. -

Something about it has made me watch it mutiple times, yet I wouldn't say it's an amazing film.
But how else could you define a film that forces you to watch it rather than go and do something else.
Quite unique. -
MCT:July 17, 2008This isn't K9. Which was pants. This is actually quite a good love story. Accentuated if you have had pets - especially dogs - that you have lost.

A cute movie. It is a little boring at parts. But it does show the love between a man and his dog. Well not at first because Turner played by Tom Hanks is a neat freak and Hooch is a messy drooling crazy dog.

For those of you who have never been real fans of Tom Hanks, here's the movie you've been looking for. No, seriously - not only is the two-time Oscar winner acted off the screen by a dog but it's a rare treat to find an actor of quality resorting to bargain-basement nonsense such as this. Having said that, this movie is more fun than its stretched premise suggests but if you've already watched "K9" then the chances are that this will be of limited enjoyment

Tom Hanks plays neat-freak Scott Turner, a small-town detective. Hooch's owner is murdered and being the only witness to the said murder, Turner takes Hooch in hoping he will be able to reconize the killer somehow. The uneasy alliance he strikes up with Turner to avenge his master is an excuse for this effort. He can't handle life without old man Amos so he uses his own experience of loneliness to help Turner, who still has enough growing left inside him to settle into a new home. Also starring Mare Winningham as Dr. Emily Carson, Craig T. Nelson as Chief Howard Hyde, Die Hard's Reginald VelJohnson as Det. David Sutton and Scott Paulin as Zack Gregory.

I loooove this movie.
Tom Hanks had great chemistry eith the dog.
My only complaint is that Hooch steals the show. I guess I can't even call that a complaint. -
MCT:March 16, 2008
This was happy and sad both...it showed a bond between man and animal...the intelligence and animal can have....and mostly let me know I never want to own this type of dog...messy..lol..all in all a good movie

MCT:March 11, 2008Turner and Hooch Summary:
One by-product of two consecutive Oscar wins is that Tom Hanks no longer has to appear in such potboilers as Turner and Hooch. Hanks plays Turner, a meticulously groomed, excruciatingly well-organized detective working in a small California coastal town. When local "character" John McIntyre is murdered by drug smugglers, the only witness is McIntyre's slobbery, smelly mutt Hootch. You're way ahead of us, folks: Turner, who despises dogs in general and Hooch in particular, is compelled to put the cantankerous dog up as his house guest. Also easily predictable is the fact that Turner and Hooch will, by the next-to-last reel, become boon companions. To its credit, the film has an abundance of laughs and thrills...but, gee, that ending! Neither terrific nor terrible, Turner and Hooch is a pleasant time-filler; we do wish, however, that more time had been spent on the budding romance between Turner and veterinarian Emily Carson (Mare Winningham). -

An entertaining film about a cop and his adorable, drooling sidekick dog Hooch. Loads of funny bits in this, including the sexy breakfast scene with the veterinarian.
-
MCT:February 3, 2008The only thing I really remember about this movie is that the dog had sooo much saliva. I think the plot was probably predictable and even though it wasn't a terrible movie, I wouldn't watch it if it were on TNT or something because there are a lot of better movie out there.

La típica película que te hace decir "esto lo vi en otro lado..." un guión bastante visto pero vale la pena por Ton Hanks

Funny and sweet. Tom Hanks does another fine job with this, where it could have been complete crap (like so many pet films tend to end up like).

Who couldn't love this one. Hooch was so adorable. Was a sad time when he died (at least for me). Tom does a great job.
