Trivia:
References to Rob Schneider's movie Deuce Bigalow: Male Gigolo (1999). When Marvin and his partner show up in the "gang-related" neighborhood, the words "Hebitch Manwhore" appear in the graffiti on the wall. When Marvin pulls the balloon full of drugs out of the man's posterior in the airport, the line "That's a huge bitch" is heard in the background. This line was used to refer to Tina, the tall woman in Deuce Bigalow.

Hypochondriac loser Marvin is not a real police office but an evidence clerk. While answering a 911 call he suffers near fatal injuries and is refurbished by some mad doctor with spare animal parts [for exact list see cuts]. Added to the is a 'boy meets girl' story and 'my boss hates me' story. The boss is very well played by John McGinley. Also included are some decent man-as-animal stunts and a good 'torch & mob' scene. Most of the comedy is action based fortunately the movie steers clear of slapstick (almost). Good for a giggle with perhaps a little too much cutting to meet the PG-13 rating.
