This spoof makes fun of a certain famous German shepherd movie star from the 1920s. The mayhem begins when the head honcho of a financially struggling studio turns a lost dog into a legend. The story features a number of old stars making cameo appearances. ~ Sandra Brennan, Rovi

Richard T. Jameson, Parallax View
... as lowbrow as a dachshund and as funny as a dead rat.

Ken Hanke, Mountain Xpress (Asheville, NC)
Won Ton Ton, the Dog Who Saved Hollywood is such a good-natured mess of a movie that it's hard not to like it.
