Rated 5 out of 5 stars 02/04/23 Full Review ashleigh c Weird and weirdly good. Rated 3.5 out of 5 stars 03/30/23 Full Review Audience Member A dog who has been disguising himself as a boy to go to school with his boy wishes to become a real boy. Full disclosure: I have not seen an episode of Teacher's Pet on the Disney Channel. The story is basic and predictable, but the writing did get a few laughs out of me. The stand outs are Nathan Lane voicing Spot, Jerry Stiller as Pretty Boy and Kelsey Grammer pulling out Sideshow Bob again as the villain Dr. Krank. The voice acting here is really well done, especially Nathan Lane. The music is forgettable and as a musical uses the music more as a joke than proper character development. For the people that enjoyed the show this might be an entertaining movie, or if you enjoy Nathan Lane as an actor. Rated 2 out of 5 stars 02/15/23 Full Review Read all reviews Post a rating

      Nell Minow Common Sense Media Fast, fresh, funny and entertaining for all. Rated: 4/5 Dec 28, 2010 Full Review Steven D. Greydanus Decent Films Rated: C+ Oct 29, 2008 Full Review J. R. Jones Chicago Reader Gary Baseman's Emmy-winning cartoon series arrives on the big screen in a delightful blast of bold drawing, brainy humor, and hard-charging songs. May 19, 2008 Full Review Cory Woodroof 615 Film This is how it’s done; a classic example of the weird stuff that Michael Eisner let slip through the cracks during his last days at Disney, and certainly more off-brand and delightfully crude than anything Bob Iger would let happen. Jun 15, 2022 Full Review Jeffrey M. Anderson Combustible Celluloid May not be a Disney classic, but it's certainly unique enough to warrant at least a rental, if not a spot in the permanent library. Feb 24, 2006 Full Review Walter Chaw Film Freak Central If nothing else inventive, at the very least perverse, and at moments transcendently bizarre.
