Absolutely Brilliant!

In truth, any opportunity to see the film on the big screen is welcome.

The acting in this movie is really good.

Actress is magnificent and exudes a hypnotic screen presence in this affecting drama.

Dooley and Jerry Lee are still running amok on the force! Just a little older and a little less effective. Things get a bit worrisome for Dooley when age is clearly catching up to Jerry Lee. Jerry is forced to partner up with Sgt. Welles(Tucci) and her dog to track down somebody that is gunning for revenge, and putting Dooley's life in danger. The good news is this sequel is nowhere near as bad as part three. The bad news? It's still highly unnecessary. I'll give this movie credit where it's due. It passed the time admirably and painlessly, something I wasn't expecting. It still has the lazy toilet humor and it's quite dated with an 80's feel. I love the 80's, so this type of cheese is right up my alley. I couldn't help but chuckle at the Rocky style gags of getting Jerry Lee & Dooley back in shape. That being said, I couldn't shake off this feeling that this movie was phoning it in! And to be honest, it was! There is much more action in this one than the third. Belushi was out of shape, but not to an embarrassing degree like he was in the third, so he's able to handle himself in mediocre fashion, in the action scenes. At this stage? Mediocre is a compliment. He's still way out of his element, running after baddies. I like Belushi, but it's obvious he's nowhere near his best. He phones it in half the time and kinda mugs his way through. He cracks some jokes, some funny, some aren't. I kinda wish he showed a little more agony about his dead wife. Christine Tucci is rather bland, but fits the bill. She doesn't embarrass herself and kept me watching. Her romance with Belushi wasn't very believable. Wade Williams is OK as the villain. His storyline had a lot of potential, but it resorted to clichés and took the safe route. It wasn't congruent to the tone of the filmI did give this movie plenty of criticism, but I did have some mild fun with it. If you put your brain aside, it is possible to get through this movie with no regrets. The original is still the best! 5.3/10

This movie was just plain bad. Just about every cop movie cliché is present and accounted for. Bad guy gets away? check. Partner? check. Wacky personality clash with partner? check. Rookie with something to prove? check. Rookie shows up grizzled veteran. check. About the only ones it didn't touch on were idiot shoot themselves in the foot and retirony but I guess they're saving those old chestnuts for Dooley's next outing. Add in the battle of the sexes with Girl Power along with tired old sight gags and banal overdone material like Dooley's prize car getting trashed all the time and you have the recipe for one really bad movie. Avoid this one at all costs.

Ten years after the first movie, James Belushi, one of the most gifted, and over looked light comedic actors of the last twenty years, returns as Detective Dooley for this movie.If you are expecting more of the same from the first movie, you will be disappointed, but this is still a good movie. Realizing that all the Dog vs. Man battle of wills scenarios had probably been used up in the first movie, this one turns slightly more psychological in its approach as it concentrates on a criminal with a fixation with Dooley's recently deceased wife after she rejected his book, and blames Dooley for her death.The script may not be the best, but the movie allows both Belushi and Christine Tucci to show their good acting ability, while still retaining enough of the light humour of the first movie to make it work, and the chemistry between the two stars is there for all to see.An easy, light going movie, which, while maybe not worth a purchase unless you are a true fan of either the first movie or Belushi, definately worth a watch when it comes on TV.

Usually, a sequel is the result of a film that was highly entertaining, leaving us wanting more. SILENCE of the LAMBS would be a good example, as are the STAR WARS and INDIANA JONES sequels. So, why K-9? Did the first one work us up enough to warrant a sequel? Was the chemistry between Belushi and Jerry Lee the stuff that dreams are made of? Please!!!!!This film hashes up some plot about a writer stalking Belushi because Belushi's ex-wife (now dead) had some interest in his writing. The stalker blames Belushi for the death. A game of cat and mouse ensues. Throw in a female cop with her own dog, Dutch, and let the fun begin. Unfortunately, there was no fun to be had.The film tries to be cute and funny, though I found it to be awful-funny. You know, so awful that it was pretty funny someone would greenlight this picture into production. The film depends on Belushi to carry the humor, though I found him irritating in a Gilbert Gottfried type of way. If you're under ten years old, you'll probably dig Belushi's wacky, over-the-top comedic performance. And if you like this film, might I recommend another comedic epic disaster masterpiece, KRIPPENDORF'S TRIBE. On the Steveo Cheese Scale from Yanni to Carrot Top, Carrot Top being best, this film ranks a solid Corey Feldman!!!!
