      Audience Member A movie about a dog and a dog of a movie all in one! Dumb film that wastes the talents of both Madeline Kahn and Teri Garr is strictly of interest for its incredible parade of golden age stars in cameos. The problem with that is that virtually no effort is made to make any of them look good with only Virginia Mayo, Rhonda Fleming and Ann Rutherford getting roles with any kind of screen time over a minute but still not roles of any substance. Rated 2 out of 5 stars 02/27/23 Full Review Audience Member not the greatest. but this is a fun movie for film buffs. because its gimmick is its cast. over 40 faces that you have seen before.although aged. it is fun to see how many you can name.each scene there is a cameo. probably the most cameo ridden movie in cinema. that doesnt make it good. just fun. from Robert Alda to Henny Youngman.you should make this a party movie and the one who guesses the most cameos wins a won ton Rated 3 out of 5 stars 02/16/23 Full Review Read all reviews Post a rating

      Gene Siskel Chicago Tribune A scattershot comedy that cant make up its mind whether to be "wholesome family entertainment" or a smutty film industry in-joke. It goes both ways. Rated: 2/4 Aug 29, 2021 Full Review Susan Stark Detroit Free Press You've heard of "Lassie, Come Home"? They should call this one, "Won Ton Ton, Go Home." Aug 29, 2021 Full Review Jerry Oster New York Daily News The acting... is extravagantly bad, as if grimaces and gesticulations would conceal the script's inadequacies. Rated: 2/4 Aug 29, 2021 Full Review Matt Brunson Film Frenzy Because it was made during the 1970s, it's a family film that includes sexual harassment, attempted rape, stag films, and prostitution -- to say nothing of scenes in which dogs are involved in some pretty stressful and gruesome situations. Rated: 2/4 May 16, 2022 Full Review Patrick Taggart Austin American-Statesman There are only three really good jokes in the entire thing. And three good gags do not a comedy make. Aug 29, 2021 Full Review Jeanne Miller San Francisco Examiner The film might have been enormously entertaining. But [Winner's] clumsy and essentially humorless approach to the film's fragile material ultimately does it in. Aug 29, 2021 Full Review Read all reviews
