Standout Aspects

Acting

Gary Busey fully commits to being a dog. Method acting or breakdown?

Practical Effects

The dog puppetry will haunt your dreams, and not in a good way.

Best for:Family: Kids who think dogs talking is peak cinema.·Background: Fold laundry while Busey barks at capitalism.·Rewatch: Ironically, with friends and increasingly unhinged drinking rules.
Heads up:Emotional: Main character dies in first five minutes — played for laughs, somehow.·Triggers: Busey's face superimposed on a dog. You can't unsee it.

Deep Dive

Trivia, insights & behind the scenes

Trivia

This is somehow a SEQUEL to a 1975 film called 'The Godchild,' also directed by Hillman, proving some cinematic sins span generations.

Insight

The 4.3 TMDB rating makes this one of the lowest-rated wide-release films of 2003, yet it persists in discount DVD bins like a cockroach of cinema.
