I was forced against my will to see this movie. It was terrible. I was sitting there in the theater and I wanted to cry. I did fall asleep intermittently. There were so many big name actors but the movie crept along at a snail's pace and was so unbelievably boring! Watching An Ideal Husband brings to mind the one episode of Friend's, where 'Monica' says, "Those were two hours of my life that I can never get back, and that scared me."

This movie is definitely on the list of my top 10 favorites. The voices for the animals are wonderful. Sally Field and Michael J. Fox are both brilliant as the sassy feline and the young inexperienced pooch, but the real standout is Don Ameche as the old, faithful golden retriever. This movie is a great family movie because it can be appreciated and loved by children as well as adults. Humorous and suspenseful, and guaranteed to make every animal lover cry! (happy tears!)

In the grand tradition of B horror movies, this one does have nudity (not to disappoint the male viewers) and stereotypes its characters like crazy, but it was good and actually scary. These were mostly unheard-of actors but they all did a good job. Clea DuVall has gone on since to do other movies: The Faculty and She's All That to name a few. Sheeri Rappaport, Mimi Reichmeister and Jennifer Rubin all were excellent. This movie was a very very effective contribution to the horror genre.
