Author Topic: Good Boy Brad Miller Administrator Posts: 17775 From: Plano, TX (36.2 miles NW of Rockwall) Registered: May 99 posted 10-10-2003 03:43 PM                     This movie is cornier than a corn dog. It's a stupid, stupid, stupid movie about how in other parts of the galaxy dogs are running the place and fly around in spaceships and blah, blah, blah. The whole premise is just really stupid. That being said, of all the kid movies I've seen, this one should do a decent amount of business and pre-pubescents should enjoy it, but whoa does it slow down to a crawl in reel 4! I guess we couldn't have the studio releasing a 60 minute movie, so they had to stretch it out. (At least this gives the kids a chance to ignore the movie for awhile and complain about the CRAP code marks all over reel 4.) SPOILER AHEAD - The movie has a happy ending. Duh!  |  IP: Logged Scott D.

Attendance exactly 3. I saw it today (don't ask). Let me just say this is the most uninspired comedy-wannabe I've seen in a long time. Not only was it not funny when it was supposed to be, but it didn't look very good on the screen. The only good thing I will say for it is the kid who plays Owen (goes to look it up: Liam Aiken) did a great job in an otherwise not very good film. Oh, and I didn't notice any CRAP Code.  |  IP: Logged Michael Schaffer "Where is the Boardwalk Hotel?"

You were not supposed to watch Good Boy, you were supposed to buy a ticket and then sneak into Kill Bill.  |  IP: Logged
