It's been many years since I last saw "Turner and Hooch" but I'm glad I saw it once again.
When he was making these comedic films, Tom Hanks was good at playing the kind of character who is under constant stress and feeling rather overwhelmed by his own comic situation.
Such is the case here, courtesy of a slobbering but loveable dog by the name of Hooch. There's no point in describing the plot, it's been covered in previous reviews.
So funny to see Hanks struggling with Hooch, I loved the scene where he's yanked all the way to the local vets surgery!
The only disappointment for me, was the climax. I found it unnecessary to have Hooch killed off, it cast a big shadow over the film's many comic moments. At least there was another dog of the same breed to make an appearance, so all is not lost.
This film deserves to be better known.
