Show Dogs

Grown-ups might not roll over for Show Dogs, but children almost surely will. With its fart jokes and smart-alecky canines, this talking-animal comedy is aimed at a young audience anyway. For dog-loving adults, well, it’s just engaging enough to make them prick up their ears.

And thanks to some creative character casting and a self-aware script that isn't averse to poking fun at itself, Show Dogs emerges as a high-concept family comedy that manages to avoid being taken for the runt of the litter, even if it doesn't really bring anything fresh and different to the arena.

If Show Dogs sometimes betrays its shaggy charms, there is comfort in remembering that many movies are much dumber than this one, and so few of them have either the good taste or the good manners to compensate with puppies.

Think of it as “Miss Congeniality” for dogs, replete with the sort of slapstick humor, puerile gags and for-adults-only pop-culture references required of such endeavors. Its frantic pace should make it a mildly amusing diversion for the younger set, but its juvenile imagination (or lack thereof) is likely to drive anyone over the age of 7 barking mad.

Families with canines are better off staying home and having an old-fashioned backyard frolic than trotting out to see Show Dogs, a panting, poorly trained entry in the live-action/talking animal genre that for once makes viewers long for the candy-colored, half-witted professionalism of third-tier Pixar-knockoff animation.

Even by the low standards of this type of live-action, family friendly comedy, Show Dogs is especially lame. It’s actually kind of amazing that it’s getting a theatrical release at all.

Show Dogs is really bad, even for a talking-dog movie.

It's a nice movie. the actors are very good. I found it really interesting. Must watch. Recommended. I liked it very much.

Интересно фильм мне понравился.даем 10/10 ♡♡♡♡♡♡♡♡♡♡♡♡♡♡♡♡♡♡♡♡♡♡♡♡♡♡♡♡♡♡♡♡♡

I am giving this movie a 3 just because I like dogs and most likely is why I watched the movie, which mostly was quite dumb :D

Bland and unoriginal in so many different ways, Show Dogs is a prime example of a movie that is near the level of a high-quality direct-to-video movie that feature talking dogs and trust me when I say that because there are a lot of talking dog movies that should have just ended up being direct-to-video and this is sadly one of them. Show Dogs is also another prime example of what to not do to make your movie successful. Don't fill them up with clichés because everyone knows they'll get sick and tired of them before the movie could ever end.
