thiago s @Thiagostone 5d Filme fraco, o roteiro é fraco, as cenas são fracas, a história é fraca, o elenco é fraco, e ninguém ajuda a melhorar o filme, os personagens são fracos, e o filme deveria ter cenas bem melhores e relevantes, para fazer o filme ser bom See more Stephen C @bob25009 Jun 20 Unfunny in 1 hour and 31 minutes!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! See more Dale R 07/07/2024 A sequel to The Shaggy Dog about twenty years later. There are some throwbacks to the original movie and the main character, played by Dean Jones this time, is the same character from the original. Dean’s wife is played by Suzanne Pleshette and as I’ve stated in other reviews, I’m not a fan of the characters that she portrays. Tim Conway plays the comic relief and has a lot more to do in this movie and makes the most of it, as only he can. If you liked the first movie, then you will enjoy this one as well, otherwise skip it. See more 06/24/2022 All ages admitted!!!!!!!!!!!!
