Rather lack-lustre and thin on plot, saved only by the acting and comedy timing of the great Koton/Jerry Lee. Belushi's portrayal of a brash, maverick cop rather lacks the humour one might expect, and the movie would have benefited from rather less of him and more of the dog.
Less than 20 years on, the film hasn't aged too well either. It fails to capture the 80's glamour and opulence, and the sound track is totally forgettable. Outside of the two main protagonists there are no notable performances, and the only other point of interest is the tatty old Mustang.
Dog lovers should enjoy this, though this is no excuse for not making more of an effort with the plot. Harmless fun, but don't go out of your way to see it.
