If you remember the 80s raise your hand. Up high, now. Yes, me, too! The 80s were a great decade. America loved its law enforcement and loved anything with an animal star. They loved movies that were a little funny, a little romantic, and a little over the top on artistic license. This includes films like Space Balls, Weird Science, Beetlejuice, Ferris Bueller's Day Off, The Blues Brothers, Ghostbusters... wow, the list is positively endless. Anything with a star from Saturday Night Live was pretty much gold at the box office, including Jim and John Belushi, Chevy Chase, Dan Aykroyd, Bill Murray, & Eddie Murphy who all gave us endless hours of good fun. K-9 is not really at the top of that list; however, it's a watchable film for anyone who misses the simple times and normal gender roles. I think anyone in the police force or military who work with dogs will appreciate this film, too. I'm sure a lot of the current cancel-culture would find it offensive to men, offensive to women, offensive to cops, and offensive to mustangs, as well as abusive to dogs. But for those who know that it's just good fun and the dog seems to love acting, this film is great for watching something cute and furry to relax and have a good time. Some laugh out loud moments included.
