Jim M Rotten Tomatoes wants it fun and respectful. And specific. K-9 is a dog movie. The best acting was, by far, the dog, and the writing seems to have a dog's understanding of human dynamics. I think a dog watched Beverly Hills Cop, drank a few beers, and typed out the script in an hour. I enjoy a good suspension of disbelief, but even suspension presupposes that you hang on to reality by thread. The totally proposterous relationship Belushi's character has with his girlfriend in which he has zero respect for her time or input or value to his life (she owns a very nice house in which he lives) and she accepts all that as her wacky life where her boyfriend is just that committed to catching bad guys. Unlike Eddie Murphy's delivery of Axel Foley in Beverly Hills Cop, Belushi is incapable of producing believable commitment that is shrouded in irreverent humor. The movie feels like a high school production. At a bad high school; that has never seen a good movie; and only had Beverly Hills Cop described to it by a dog. Rated 1/5 Stars •  Rated 1 out of 5 stars 04/20/25 Full Review Keith S I'm not a fan of James Bulushi at all but I thought he was stellar in this fun movie. It kept a good vibe and fun, funny groove throughout the entire movie which was a nice change of pace for these types of movies. It was just GOOD. Rated 3.5/5 Stars •  Rated 3.5 out of 5 stars 04/10/25 Full Review Liam D An mixture of an Buddy cop movie and an man with his dog story and while those two don’t normally mixed well and the jokes do get stale it isn’t horrible Rated 2.5/5 Stars •  Rated 2.5 out of 5 stars 05/12/24 Full Review C.S.R I love this film! In my opinion it's the best dog/buddy movie. I love how the dog knows everything he's talking about. Jerry Lee is the best K-9 partner ever! Jim Belushi and the dog have awesome chemistry and made the movie hilarious. Can't recommended enough! Rated 5/5 Stars •  Rated 5 out of 5 stars 02/04/24 Full Review Martin B Just horrible. The dog was adorable but it was just a steady stream of a dog barking and Belushi's quips. Add in a silly premise where all the scenes had to fit the dogs training and Belushi's witticism's and it was mostly a waste of time. No Turner and Hootch for sure and can you believe it they made another one over a decade later with even worse ratings. Rated 2/5 Stars •  Rated 2 out of 5 stars 10/10/23 Full Review Jack O It's K-9, a film about a cop and a dog. Now there's something in comparison to Turner and Hooch, with it's comedic elements with a funny pooch dog and Tom Hanks and a sad ending. OK, I don't wanna be thinking about it again. This one does the same thing and people slammed it for being lacking, lacking some sense of comedy and not being funny. James Belushi as Mike Dooley is out to track down a drug dealer called Lyman but he was set up and now he gets a new partner which is a dog named Jerry Lee. Now what is it with K-9 which looks similar to Turner and Hooch? Well, I don't know. I'll leave you to figure it out for yourself and see what you like better. With what I got with Turner and Hooch and with now what I've got with K-9, I just think it's better than each other. And do I think it's better than with what it is with Turner and Hooch? That's a little trickier. I mean the ending is not sad and thank Christ, I didn't cry at it. But with what I think of it, I do got some of sense of comedy in this movie. James Belushi is funny and I really like it when the dog looks away from Dooley making him not knowing that he is alive, And in many respects, I would almost rather watch this than Turner and Hooch, now that is to say it's not very popular at that time but still lifts up to it's fans. If you like both of them a lot more, be their guests. See if K-9 can do you any good and see what you think of it or not.
