Awesome Movie

A film with more than the usual spoiler issues. Talking about it in any detail feels akin to handing you a gift-wrapped present and saying, "I hope you like it -- It's a thriller about a diabolical secret experiment."

Easily the biggest piece of Right wing non sense propaganda I ever saw.

Good Boy! is an insulting, abysmal little film, providing one with the substantial food-for-thought of a knock-knock joke and the contemplative drama of a juice-box riddle. It tells the childish and dreadful story of Owen Baker (Liam Aiken), a twelve-year-old boy who serves as the neighborhood dog-walker so he can prove to his parents he's responsible enough to own a dog of his own.When he finally proves he's responsible enough, dear little Owen asks his dim-witted parents to take him to the pound so that he can pick out the dog of his choice. He settles on a little terrier he saw while walking dogs, who comes bearing what appears to be a moon-rock around his collar. He names him Hubble, but it isn't long before he realizes that Hubble is much smarter than he had thought. Upon training him, seeing that Hubble can perform several tricks flawlessly, he realizes that Hubble (voiced by Matthew Broderick) can talk like a real human. Hubble's real name is "Canid 3942," and informs Owen that dogs were sent to Earth hundreds of years ago in order to dominate and enslave the human race. Turns out, dogs became the humans' pets rather than the other way around.Hubble's prime responsibility, being sent from the higher dog-authority "Greater Dane" (Vanessa Redgrave), who resides on a planet called "Dog Star Sirius 7," was to make sure that dogs are fulfilling their responsibility and are in control. Turns out, they've failed miserably, and after receiving this knowledge, Hubble informs them that Earth is on the verge of a massive recall back to Sirius 7.There are films like Shiloh that help enforce the idea that humans shape dogs but dogs shape humans in addition, and shows the great lengths a boy will go to protect and ensure the safety of his pet. Then there are films like Good Boy! that cheapen this kind of important and significant relationship like a poor sitcom. This is simply an asinine film with a barrage of weak jokes, inane ideas about even the very possibility that dogs are trying to take over Earth, and an woefully unsubstantial affair for young kids who need to be informed of the benefits of a relationship with an animal.Those who defend Good Boy! can make the easy, go-to argument that the film is "cute" and possesses a family-friendly attitude that should be embraced. All I can say that if everything "cute" was embraced and safe from any type of criticism whatsoever, we'd have the frothiest, most artificial society that would've never had any such thing as a Disney or a Pixar to show us that narrative strength and themes are also components of family-friendly entertainment.Starring: Liam Aiken, Kevin Nealon, and Molly Shannon. Voiced by: Matthew Broderick, Delta Burke, Donald Faison, Brittany Murphy, and Carl Reiner. Directed by: John Hoffman.

I saw this movie when I was about 6 years old and I loved it. This is definitely a movie for dog lovers and kids. I thought this movie was so great. I watched it everyday and it still never got old. I haven't seen this movie in 5 years but I still would watch it everyday. I recommend this movie to others. I really would love to see this wonderful movie again someday when I have the money to buy it. This is a must see movie And I believe anyone could love it if they just take the time to watch it. I hope everyone gets the chance to watch this movie and enjoy it as much as I have. Even if you are an adult this is a great movie. This movie is by far my favorite movie.

'Good Boy!' a typical dog flick about the bond between people and their dogs. The target audience is children and families with children. I wasn't expecting anything pathbreaking but it's still a charming fun film if you're watching it with the family. 'Stepmom's' Liam Aiken does quite a decent job as the teenager tired of having to move from place to place and finally finds a friend in a dog, a talking dog...from outer space. As corny and silly as it is, the sci-fi angle was a funny touch. Imagine a planet inhabited by dogs. Molly Shannon and Kevin Nealon play the typical parents but their screen presence is strong. Of the voice cast, Matthew Broderick leads the way and he is great in the title role. Anyway, as stated earlier, 'Good Boy!' isn't the best of its kind but its certainly more watchable than 'Cats and Dogs 2'.

Good Boy has a stupid story to it but it has the comedy for the younger viewers that watch it. I personally think it's good but really bad. Cute story but seriously some cheesy acting from Liam Aiken, Molly Shannon, and Kevin Nealon. Good Boy finally gives dogs their movie that they deserve. People will laugh at some and just dis some parts. This movie is 4 stars. 2 because I like it and another 2 because it sucked big time. That together gives my vote 4 stars. Don't get me wrong if you want to watch this for a family movie night it is a good choice if your into dogs and space science fiction type stuff. Liam Aiken playing Owen gives a cheesy performance. But still a good one as well.
