Details

Scott Turner has 3 days left in the local police department before he moves to a bigger city to get some 'real' cases—not just misdemeanors. When Amos Reed is murdered, Scott sets himself on the case, but the closest thing to a witness to the murder is Reed's dog, Hooch, which Scott has to take care of—to avoid Hooch being 'put to sleep'.

Hottoceame The Age of Commercialism
NekoHomey Purely Joyful Movie!
Intcatinfo A Masterpiece!
Geraldine The story, direction, characters, and writing/dialogue is akin to taking a tranquilizer shot to the neck, but everything else was so well done.
sergelamarche Nothing super fantastic but this film holds on its comedic value. Seems also good for an evening easy with the girlfriend. Tom Hanks definitely had the chops and shines even in this romance. Bravo!
Predrag This film very much resembles a James Belushi film which came out at roughly the same period i.e K9. It was one of Tom Hanks' earlier roles where he plays a detective who takes in an amiable, yet initially troublesome, bull mastiff named Hooch.Hanks is his usual funny self and this is one of his early roles before he became the serious icon that he has become and rightly so. But the star of the movie is Hooch the Dogue de Bourdeaux (or French Mastiff). This dog has the most charisma I have ever seen in a dog. Turner (Hanks) is a police detective and his only witness to the murder is Hooch a drooling pooch - together they must find out who killed Hooch's owner. Turner never expected to gain such a lovable side-kick as Hooch. Craig T. Nelson also stars as Turner's turncoat boss. This duo is sure to tickle your funny bone. Actually, this is one of those movies that's funny all the way through, and then turns very serious. A little action, a little romance and a lot of laughs..Overall rating: 7 out of 10.
xsophietaylorx Turner & Hooch is just a harmless, cute film. Tom Hanks plays a police officer who ends up adopting a dog because he is the only witness to a murder. At the start they hate each over which is rather funny to watch, however as the film goes on you see them for a relationship. The film is fun to watch and occasionally makes you laugh but I really felt the ending fell flat when Hooch died I didn't feel the emotion it went over to quick we see Tom Hanks crying for around thirty seconds and then it flips to his new life married to the vet living in a home with many dogs & even a mini Hooch this felt like there was no mourning to Hooch he deserved a bigger death scene and more sadness as the audience we never even got a chance to cry because in a matter of minutes we were hit with this big happy ending! Good film but didn't enjoy the ending. Rip Hooch
Sean Lamberger Tom Hanks is an obsessive-compulsive cop who takes in a filthy, slobbish French Mastiff when it's the only witness to a murder. Basically The Odd Couple with a dog. It's predictable and formulaic to the bone, but hits a strange nerve that allows us to overlook its shortcomings and appreciate the sweetness of the ride. Hanks is largely to thank for that, at the top of his game very early in his dramatic career. Though a few not-so-surprising supporting actors pop in from time to time, (Reginald VelJohnson as a policeman? What a shock!) it's almost entirely a one-man show that sails beyond expectations on the merits of his lone performance. In fact, the closest competition is Beasley the dog, who's absurdly emotive and personable throughout the film. He and Hanks make for a great team, as silly as that might sound, and it's easy to tell that a lot of their best scenes were ad-libs that miraculously avoided the cutting room floor. Funny, bittersweet movie magic that really has no business being as entertaining as it is.
