Storyline

Scott Turner has 3 days left in the local police department before he moves to a bigger city to get some "real" cases, not just misdemeanors. Then Amos Reed is murdered, and Scott Turner sets himself on the case. The closest thing to a witness in the case is Amos Reed's dog, Hooch, which Scott Turner has to take care of if it's going to avoid being "put to sleep". Written by Lars J. Aas <larsa@colargol.edb.tih.no>

Quotes

Scott Turner: These are the simple rules. No barking, now growling, you will not lift your leg to anything in this house. This is not your room. No slobbering, no chewing, you will wear a flea collar. This is not your room. No begging for food, no sniffing of crotches, and you will not drink from my toilet. This is not your room.

An Odd Couple
12 March 2013 | by (Earth) – See all my reviews

In a sleepy California coast town, neat and tidy police detective Tom Hanks (as Scott Turner) is assigned to investigate a murder witnessed only by an ugly, slobbering dog named "Hooch". Often showing off his trim physique in brief black underwear, Mr. Hanks finds his fastidiously decorated home damaged by his sloppy canine companion. Animal-loving veterinarian Mare Winningham (as Emily Carson) helps Hanks manage his house-guest, and you can smell the romance breaking a mile away. "Hooch" stinks up the police station, which could cause police chief Craig T. Nelson (as Howard Hyde) to call off the hunt. Just looking at Reginald Veljohnson (as David Sutton) in the credits lets you know he's Hanks' overweight partner. There is at least one surprise in this predictable, warm-hearted story; and, it isn't pretty.

**** Turner & Hooch (7/28/89) Roger Spottiswoode ~ Tom Hanks, Mare Winningham, Craig T. Nelson, Reginald Veljohnson
