Ghost Dog: A Detective Tail

When I saw this movie, Ghost Dog: Detective Tail, I thought this movie was going to be a waste of time. BUT I watched it and I was stunned by the amazing acting and plot and especially the dialouge. I mean a dog that gets killed and comes back to life to solve the murder? That is genius. They chose the perfect dog for this movie. I cannot believe how great that dog was. The scene where he steals the car keys is the best scene in film history. I didn't know who I was until that scene. I am surprised this movie did not win best movie of all time, or at least an Nobel Peace Prize. If you have not seen this movie, do it now. It will change your life. It changed mine. Hunter- R.I.P. You were the greatest dog the police force has ever known. You are irreplacable and will be missed.

This was a rather cute film...a little slow at first, but quite amusing as it went along. Very good for kids, too (not to mention dog lovers...lots of funny elements throughout). I am hoping it airs again soon...hats off to PAX for making such a charming movie.

I was duped into thinking that this was an actual movie. Had I known it was a tv-movie I would have spent the $2.50 rental fee elsewhere. The jacket of the movie made it look like it'd be funny...but I was WRONG! I didn't even laugh once during the entire flick and I'm a person who laughs during a funny movie, even if its as stupid as watching Wiley E. Coyote blowing himself up!

Others may say this is a good family movie, but I wouldn't even let my own kids watch this movie!

Having just finished this one, I can tell you that this isn't great. It isn't completely awful either...mostly awful, but not completely awful.

It's one of those "cop and dog chase criminal, dog gets killed (RIP), comes back somehow to help cop partner catch the baddie." Kinda like "Poochinski", but with a little different twist.

The plot is dumb, but it is probably exactly what you're expecting it to be. Not much for curve balls here.

The acting is...yeah, let's not. But I have to say, most of the points here go to Zach Ward. Dude SELLS OUT to his character twist, and he was actually pretty entertaining. He's the only reason I cared to finish the movie (outside of the stupid pride of saying I made it through the darn thing.) The script isn't anything to write home (ha...eh...) about. It's fine. I mean, the cover tells you it's going to be uninspired and lame, and it kinda is.

If you're marathoning "cop and dog partnering up" movies, this does not need to be on your list. But if you just need one more to round out your night/week/whatever, it's fine enough to throw on that list. Don't expect much, enjoy Zach's performance, wonder why the lady from "Spaceballs" is in this thing, and enjoy.

We couldn't tell if this movie was designed for little kids or kids and undemanding adults. It was a mess for sure. Kiddie plot, grainy and cheap production values and a lot of very bad overacting. Daphne Zuniga and Jack Wagner actually looked embarrassed to be there. Even for PAX-TV this was a low-brow entry. It looked more like a Disney Channel Saturday morning show.
