Turner & Hooch
Scott Turner has 3 days left in the local police department before he moves to a bigger city to get some 'real' cases—not just misdemeanors. When Amos Reed is murdered, Scott sets himself on the case, but the closest thing to a witness to the murder is Reed's dog, Hooch, which Scott has to take care of—to avoid Hooch being 'put to sleep'.

Fresh and Exciting
Nothing super fantastic but this film holds on its comedic value. Seems also good for an evening easy with the girlfriend. Tom Hanks definitely had the chops and shines even in this romance. Bravo!
Tom Hanks is an obsessive-compulsive cop who takes in a filthy, slobbish French Mastiff when it's the only witness to a murder. Basically The Odd Couple with a dog. It's predictable and formulaic to the bone, but hits a strange nerve that allows us to overlook its shortcomings and appreciate the sweetness of the ride. Hanks is largely to thank for that, at the top of his game very early in his dramatic career. Though a few not-so-surprising supporting actors pop in from time to time, (Reginald VelJohnson as a policeman? What a shock!) it's almost entirely a one-man show that sails beyond expectations on the merits of his lone performance. In fact, the closest competition is Beasley the dog, who's absurdly emotive and personable throughout the film. He and Hanks make for a great team, as silly as that might sound, and it's easy to tell that a lot of their best scenes were ad-libs that miraculously avoided the cutting room floor. Funny, bittersweet movie magic that really has no business being as entertaining as it is.
Detective Scott Turner (Tom Hanks) is a very tidy unusual man. During his last days of work before being transferred, his old friend Amos Reed (John McIntire) has been murdered and the only witness is a rough big dog named Hooch. Scott decides then to take care of the case believing that Amos's dog it will help him to find the killer and apparently many other hidden businesses. Scott has no choice, he's forced to bring Hooch to his house and from that moment his life will change completely. The scary, naughty dog will become his best friend and Scott will finally get to learn a new way of living. Young Tom Hanks gives a truly funny performance,and the dog is absolutely hilarious.
"Congratulations you broke the case!". About 60 minutes into the movie the Hooch drops the goods.A few seconds later, the bad guy is in his sights.Now call me cynical but isn't that just the way life is sometimes?First out you have to eat a few dog biscuits, then if your in the right place at the right time... Really a great family movie!Bachelor Party is one of the greats for younger guy's but for the family. Turner and Hooch has to be one of the most entertaining and fun ways to spend an evening with younger people.
