  Another one cop and his dog story. Better than K-9 but not exactly the dogs bollocks!

  "This is not your room." I remember some of these caninecop movies from the 80's. This one was probably the best of the bunch. The film also features a young Tom Hanks, who wasn't at that time a big star. That would happen after some years... The film starts as a typical 80's cop movie with a saxophone tune on the background when the lead character is being introduced. It's immediately obvious that Hanks' character is a good, not your typical cop who is something of a neat freak. The first time Hooch, a super drooler mastiff, was introduced, I became instantly infatuated with the dog. It looked somewhat of a Predator on four legs. The slow motion sequence, with its snout going all over... Excellent. The story is a typical cop movie that has its moments but most of the movie concentrates on the building relationship between Turner and Hooch. Tom Hanks shows his comedic talents but most of the scenes are robbed by the dog. The scene where he shows the house to the dog, the stakeout scene, the end scene. All of these scenes were perfect examples on how a good dog 'actor' can make an average movie worth a look. Some scenes, especially in the end may give tears of laughter and sadness to all who admire these cute furry pooches. As an end statement, I must confess that I'm a dog owner. I just love these "man's best friend's". I've always had dogs and I can understand the reactions of Hanks character, that occurred throughout the movie. You simply can't find a more trust worthy animal.

  A enjoyable funny film. If you like dogs you should like this as Tom Hanks tries to get to grips with his adopted dog!

• xGary X

  
  Inoffensive Tom Hanks vehicle, but it's the pooch who's the star of the show.

• Jason S

  
  Tom Hanks being funny and a cop. What could go wrong.

• Dean M

  
  Really funny between tidy and punctilious cop and the slobbering every-hungry dog since K-9.

• Stuart B

  
  The dogs the star

  The film is fairly amusing at points and holds reasonably strong characters with good chemistry, an emotional ending and excellent performances from Tom Hanks and, of course, the late, great Beasley the Dog. However, exaggerated at a deal of points, riddled with cliches, with a forced twist and periodically slow, drawn out, cheesy and annoying are not so optimistic ways of describing the film. A bit of a more notable problem is the film's inability to fully decide whether or not it wants to be a goofy shenanigans buddy comedy or a heavy detective film with a corny idea for a sidekick, especially in the final act. Still, "Turner and Hooch" is a classic time-killer that's entertainment value is surpassed only by its surprising memorability.

• Fascade F

  
  Such an incredible classic tale of a clean cut detective assigned to a nasty unkempt dog that happens to know who the bad guy in this...mysterious tale of "who done it". Truly a memorable funny movie...enjoyable anytime.

  Tom Hanks plays Turner, a police detective in a small California town who discovers his friend dead with no witnesses except for his dog, the slobbering and unruly Hooch who has to help him solve a case of finding the killer or killers. I love dogs and the young Tom Hanks so this movie worked for me.

• Nicolas K

  
  Hooch is great!

• Curt C

  
  Chief, would it be too much to ask to get an actual human as a partner? "No deal, it's either Hooch or Mr. Whiskers!"

• Doctor S

  
  Yeah, I watched this in a theater; a student pass will make you do some strange things.

• Andrew P

  
  Tom Hanks in one of his earlier and more dated roles. Turner and Hooch is undoubtedly a classic for kids who seen it back then, but has lost some of it's charm with age. Hanks is great but the film just feels a little bit out of shape 21 years later.

• Sarah P

  
  It was funny, but nothing great. A nice watch for fun!
