Tom Hanks stars as Scott Turner, a compulsively neat detective whose tidy world goes to the dogs when he's forced to team up with the only witness to a crime -- a drooling slob of a junkyard dog named Hooch. Not exactly man's best friend, Hooch turns Turner's life upside down, wrecking Turner's home, career, and budding romance! (official distributor synopsis)

A silent face that guzzles beer and has predatory traits in slow-motion during running, and his considerably less slobbering colleague suffering from soliloquy. Another film about two hairy characters was made in the same year, but with that one, I didn’t consider which of the three of us to put down. ()
A pleasant and easygoing movie from the 1980s that mixes crime with comedy and a touch of romance, all dominated by Hooch, a massive Dogue de Bordeaux who destroys and drools on everything around it. The cast was likable and the plot moved along nicely. All in all, an average film suitable for a free afternoon that is perfect for the whole family, as there is something for every member. ()
