Good Boy! (2003)

Boring

It's funny watching the elements come together in this complicated scam. On one hand, the set-up isn't quite as complex as it seems, but there's an easy sense of fun in every exchange.

It’s fine. It's literally the definition of a fine movie. You’ve seen it before, you know every beat and outcome before the characters even do. Only question is how much escapism you’re looking for.

Actress is magnificent and exudes a hypnotic screen presence in this affecting drama.

This is a great movie for anyone. I bought the DVD a week ago and I must have watched it 11 times since!! O.K., the whole dogs as aliens thing is a little strange, but it sure is cute.This movie is about a 12 year old boy named Owen (Liam Aiken) who walks neighborhood dogs so he can make money to buy his own dog. Owen finally gets his own dog and names him Hubble. But Hubble isn't your ordinary dog. Turns out Hubble is an interplanetary agent from the dog star Sirius and he can TALK!! In fact all the dogs Owen walks can talk, too. Owen discovers that dogs were first sent to Earth to rule the world.What makes this movie so entertaining is the voices of the dogs. Lets see, there is Mathew Broderick, Delta Burke, Donald Faison, Cheech Marin, Brittany Murphy, Vanessa Redgrave, and Carl Reiner.This movie is a must see!!

Animal movies are usually amusing, to some degree. Throw in Molly Shannon and Kevin Nealon, two good comedians, and it SHOULD have some hope. Not this clunker. How many times have stupid movies like this been made? Disney had "The Cat From Outer Space" some 30 or more years ago, and that was cute because, at that time, it was an original concept. It also fit well with the type of comedies coming out during that time. So now we have this movie, which simply altered the plot line a little and turned the cat in to a dog. This movie itself is a complete "dog". Vapid parental figures, too-cutesie kids who are so much smarter than the folks who sired them, and funny, space-dogs! This film would stink even it had been released as a made-for-TV movie, but then at least it wouldn't have cost you anything to change the channel if you didn't like it. Not worth the time or the money for rental or otherwise. Skip it, big time.

This is a film about a boy, whose name is Owen(Liam Aiken)who is a neighborhood dog walker. He even wears a dog walker uniform with a name tag! This gives the appearance that he is a pro dog walker! Now Owen is a lonely boy with no friends except the dogs he walks. He is bullied by two other boys.But Owen has a good attitude, he respects his parents(Kevin Nealon & Molly Shannon)who renovates homes for a living-and they live in the house they are currently working on. This does not make things any easier for Owen, who has a desire to settle down and stay put in one house. Owen, however takes it all in stride and makes the best out of the situation.He is awakened by a noise-the sound of something crashing. This will be referred later as a "Sonic Boom" When his parents allow him to adopt his own dog, the one he picks at the pound-is like no other dog. He soon discovers that this pooch can talk. Owen gives him the name "Hubble" but his real name is "Canine 3942" a dog from outer space!Hubble informs Owen that thousands of years ago, dogs were sent to earth from the "Home Star" AKA "The dog star Sirus" to colonize and rule earth. Dogs were not supposed to be pets! So, Hubble is here on a fact finding mission-to confirm rumors that the dogs have strayed from their original mission. Hubble is here to try to reverse that.Now, Hubble becomes very fond of Owen-he have to choose between life on earth or the ability to talk. Hubble isn't the only talking dog, all the dogs can talk! When Hubble fails to rally the dogs to their original mission, "The Greater Dane" shows up! She is the "queen of the Dogs" Can Hubble and Owen persuade the "Greater Dane" to let Hubble and the other dogs stay here on earth?Now I admit that the story line resolving around the dogs is silly! And It's the bathroom humor that earns it's PG rating, however there's so much to like about this film. Dog lovers will love this film! We should be thankful that dogs can't talk! All the Characters is perfectly cast, esp Liam Aiken as Owen and "Flynn" as "Hubble"Great Film. 8 out of 10.

I love this movie! It's so funny and cute! Two paws up! The cast is great. I like the dogs a lot! Liam Aiken does an awesome job in this film. What a great bunch of voices to play the dogs! Shep is very funny and Wilson is hilarious, Barbara-Ann has a good personality, Nelly I think is my favorite, Hubble is very cute. I remember when I seen the trailer for it, I was DYING TO SEE IT! I was very happy when I first seen it. There is a lot of funny parts and hilarious lines, but it was when I bought it on dvd that I found a very sad part, when the dogs have to go back to the home star and the owners don't even know and the dogs are so sad. I love this movie and it's a great story too.
