So much average

The film may be flawed, but its message is not.

It's a good bad... and worth a popcorn matinée. While it's easy to lament what could have been...

One of the film's great tricks is that, for a time, you think it will go down a rabbit hole of unrealistic glorification.

This film very much resembles a James Belushi film which came out at roughly the same period i.e K9. It was one of Tom Hanks' earlier roles where he plays a detective who takes in an amiable, yet initially troublesome, bull mastiff named Hooch.Hanks is his usual funny self and this is one of his early roles before he became the serious icon that he has become and rightly so. But the star of the movie is Hooch the Dogue de Bourdeaux (or French Mastiff). This dog has the most charisma I have ever seen in a dog. Turner (Hanks) is a police detective and his only witness to the murder is Hooch a drooling pooch - together they must find out who killed Hooch's owner. Turner never expected to gain such a lovable side-kick as Hooch. Craig T. Nelson also stars as Turner's turncoat boss. This duo is sure to tickle your funny bone. Actually, this is one of those movies that's funny all the way through, and then turns very serious. A little action, a little romance and a lot of laughs..Overall rating: 7 out of 10.

Tom Hanks is BRILLIANT and so endearing in this film...his performance here alone is worth watching this touching yet inventive film about a hapless man and his erstwhile dog...and the one woman who sees the gem inside the uncut rock that is Hanks' character. And, by the way, if you're an animal lover, this is one of the great animal films too. (Once you've seen it, you'll find yourself telling a dog later on, with not some hilarity, "Hey - don't HOOCH on me!")A feel-good movie that's also an action movie with a sense of humor, give this movie a try because it will entertain you and move your heart. And if you don't end up loving Mare Winningham at the end...(she's so lovable in this film - this is her best role ever)...

Turner And Hooch is a great movie with a great story line,a pretty good cast,other than Tom Hanks who is fantastic,and of course an amazing performance from Hooch,a big and dangerous,but extremely lovable dog.I will admit,I don't usually cry watching movies,but I cried watching this,at the end when Hooch dies,its one of the only scenes in a movie that really made me cry,Scott and Hooch develop such a close relationship,the dog became his,and then hes gone,you see the emotion in Tom Hanks,its truly one of the saddest scenes id ever seen in a movie.Detective Scott Turner (Tom Hanks) investigates when a close friend of his is murdered,and adopts his dog Hooch,a trouble causing Mastiff,who is the only witness of the murder.

In Turner and Hooch, Tom Hanks is Scott Turner, a detective who has only 3 day left working at the police department. He wants some "real cases",until he meets Hooch: a junkyard type of bulldog who Scott is forced to work with when Hooch witnesses the murder of his owner and Scott has to take care of Hooch for a while and insanity ensues.The Good: In Turner and Hooch, Craig T. Nelson is the chief and he delivers a decent performance.Tom Hanks is somewhat funny in this film.Hooch makes Turner's life a living nightmare.The Bad: The script could have been written betterThe romance scenes are very unnecessaryAt the end of the movie, The Dog dies! Why!??!?!!?!?!? So Basically, it can go both ways but in all honesty, Turner and Hooch was good but not one of Tom Hanks' best work.6/10
