The Shaggy Dog
| posted 3/10/2006



Patty Moliterno (Christian Spotlight) says the movie stresses the idea that "family comes first. It is another of Disney's feel good movies about the father beginning to understand his family and becoming the Dad. So many people identify with this type of movie because while moms seem to inherently understand family and relationships, many times it takes Dad a little longer to understand."

But David DiCerto (Catholic News Service) says that the lesson can't save the film. "Nice message, but even Allen's comic dexterity can't make this dog of a film hunt."

Mainstream critics are saying, "No biscuit."
