I've always thought of "Turner and Hooch" as an amusing comedy with a high concept (it's a buddy comedy but one of them's a dog!) something disposable, here-and-gone, you know the kind. And then I actually got around to watching it.
Hanks is fantastic in the movie, his comedic chops on full display and irate voice used for maximum effect (I tell ya, it cracks me up) and I'll probably remember the movie for his newfound pet's ravaging the furniture; but there's depth that I really didn't see coming. They really do bond and it becomes a fun partnership; this horribly destructive and slobbering beast grows on you in a big way. It's a feel-good movie and it mined just the right emotions out of me, but it is genuinely funny. I highly enjoyed this film.
