Quotes:

[about playing fetch]
Rover Dangerfield: He throws a stick, you run and get it, you bring it back and he throws it again! I don't get it! I mean, what's the point?
Raffles: Because it makes them happy and it gives them lots of exercise
Rover Dangerfield: If they want exercise, let them run and get it.
Raffles: So what should I do?
Rover Dangerfield: It's very simple. You do nothing.

bland,

Rover Dangerfield is more like Tall Neutered Puppy, The acting is horrible the story is lame and who the hell makes a movie where the dog talks, wear pants and gives one liners like he is a hairy Rodney Dangerfield ??? This mangy mutt of a movie has nothing going for it except for the boredom, however brief it was and one good death scene. Rover Dangerfield needs a Rabies shot and a flea bath, that will be the only thing that will makes me feel better about this Dog of a movie. Do not bother with this one, This dog movie has gone to the dogs...some one call the pound one of their strays are missing and it is trying to do the nasty with my leg. This is everything you would expect from a Big Bad "D" Movie all it was missing was the Commentary from Snoop-Dog and the Son of the Barnyard Boys. A heavy thumb on the fast forward won't hurt this clunker. Thanks for Reading and remember be a responsible pet owner, spay and neuter your pets Net~Fitz
