Dog Man

What an incredibly weird and unique cartoon! Took my toddler daughter to see it and she was glued to the screen the entire film. The voice acting was on point and the animation was cool and different.

I didn't know how I felt about such a strange premise for a film, but it was written really well. Also, there was a short film before it called "The Bad Guys", which was hilarious and the perfect intro to the film. I don't know that it was on par with the original "Shrek" or "Prince of Egypt", but it's definitely worth a watch, especially if you have kids in the household.

In conclusion, check this film out; you won't regret it.

Rating - 8.0: Overall, he's a dog, but he's also a man.

Direction - Pretty Good to Good: The direction on a macroscale is very true to the source material as it is very silly, goofy, and cartoonish; the direction on a microscale is very much similar to other kids' movies, but has some more mature jokes and an overall adorable feel that makes it enjoyable for adults too; the storytelling feels very similar to other Dave Pilkey properties with how silly and meta it is

Story - Good: The concept is cinema because he is a dog but he is also a man; the plot structure is pretty linear and typical of other children's movies as they speed through the plot in less than ninety minutes; Character writing is amazing because he is very much a dog but he has qualities that also make him a man

Screenplay - Good: The dialogue is very silly, goofy fun, as the movie is filled with puns and jokes that are adorable; the humor is so silly and goofy that it makes the movie adorable

Acting - Pretty Good: Pete Davidson - Pretty Good (Very goofy and silly, it feels like a PG version of Pete Davidson), Lil Rel Howery - Pretty Good (He has good chemistry with Dog Man and is good comedic relief), Isla Fisher - Decent to Pretty Good (Really, just a standard reporter character but has some funny silly moments), Ricky Gervais - Decent to Pretty Good (Really out of character for him, as a movie like this cannot utilize any of his comedic strengths but does a decent job), Rest of the cast - Decent to Pretty Good (Just a lot of silly, goofy performances that help make this movie what it is; I really respect them for making Dog Man's character just a dog because it made him more adorable)

Score - Decent: Pretty minimal, as it is more just about establishing the tone

Editing - Good: Makes it feel very much like other Dave Pilkey books, with these fast, cartoonish montages interwoven into the movie

Sound - Good: Makes the movie feel very cartoonish and adorable

Animation - Very Good: Makes the movie look and feel very true to the source material; this is exactly how I would want to see a Dave Pilkey property adapted on the big screen

Pacing - Pacing is incredibly fast because the movie is less than 90 minutes

Climax - Climax is a big action montage and I wouldn't have had it any other way

Tone - The tone is very silly and goofy, which makes this an adorable children's movie.

How have people not made this connection?

An officer of the law, mortally wounded in the line of duty, but brought back to life with an experimental method.

Robocop.

Dog Man.

But this is an appropriate kids movie, not some 1980's bang-bang, shoot 'em up.

It's fast.

It's short (thank goodness!) only an hour and a half (Yes!!) perfect and what a kids movie should be. Short.

It's beautiful and vibrant. Lots of beautiful and slick colors.

Great music: Hank Williams. Hank Williams SENIOR. Miley Cyrus and John Mayer.

Solid voice acting.

Good humor.

Decent story.

The kids will love it and that's what's most important.

I could see this film being really popular once it hits streaming for endless and repeated viewings.

It's an easy watch.

Dog Man is absolute amazing and fantastic Dav Pilkey and Peter Hastings have fun making this film, the Action the comedy joke scene and even a-lot.

The Villain Petey The Cat is Absolutely Amazing Pete Davidson did a good job doing it though, the Chief was so good he make me laugh i think Rel did a good job too though and Sarah Hatoff was pretty good though and Isla Fisher once again... did a amazing job too on voicing the character though i like her, but Li'l Petey was so cute i almost cried he was so cute though.

DreamWorks thanks you for making this good movie it's was a blast! 10/10 nice.
