When Wells falls asleep on Dooley's couch near the end, we see him pull the blanket up over her shoulder. In the next shot, it's back down again, and when he leaves the room, the blanket is again up over her shoulder where he placed it.

User Reviews

Decent but not great

I do prefer K-9, but K-911 was pretty decent if not exactly great. The script is weak in places with some somewhat rudimentary comedy, the production values aren't as good this time around, the story falls into predictability a little too often and the direction is merely average. However there are some fun moments, the soundtrack is decent and the movie does move fairly quickly. What made the movie though is Jerry-Lee and James Belushi- Jerry-Lee is still the well-trained and cute dog I loved from K-9 and Belushi is always watchable and is quite charming.

Overall, it is a decent film but it is not a great one. Worth watching for Jerry-Lee and Belushi but don't expect a masterpiece. 6/10 Bethany Cox
