I enjoy rewatching this movie every couple of years. It's similar to the K-9 movies w/James Belushi.

Still entertains & my dog also likes watching or staring at this, (& the K9 movies too) : D

I figure he rates them all as about 9 stars, but I give this a 7.

I would give it a 9, bc even tho I like Mare Winningham, I simply thought she was miscast here.

I'm kind of surprised the imdb rating is only 6.2, but I guess that's bc it's an old movie and these kinds of sites were only just getting started back then.

I also think a sequel is over due & would be fun with Hanks & maybe one of Hooches heirs?

TURNER AND HOOCH teams Tom Hanks with an unlikely murder witness: a slobbering junkyard dog named Hooch. This is an okay film for another one of Hanks's underachievers, and is actually an entertaining one to watch. It's not the dog that K-9 was. The story here is much better, the chemistry is much stronger and the movie doesn't try as hard. Certainly Hanks's most underrated film, and highly recommended for people with pets in their home.

3 out of 5

TURNER & HOOCH is a buddy-buddy comedy of the 1980s with a twist: one of the cops is in actuality a dog, the only witness to a murder that saw his owner killed. He teams up with cynical OCD cop Tom Hanks to track down the villains responsible, but he's the kind of dog that takes a lot of getting used to. This came out around the same time as, and is very similar to, K9, but I think it has the edge. It's moving without being sentimental, and the dog gets an absolute ton of screen time, making him very much the focus of the film; excellent he is too.
