Sorry, this movie sucks

Absolutely the worst movie.

It's an amazing and heartbreaking story.

All of these films share one commonality, that being a kind of emotional center that humanizes a cast of monsters.

'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'.

Animal movies are usually amusing, to some degree. Throw in Molly Shannon and Kevin Nealon, two good comedians, and it SHOULD have some hope. Not this clunker. How many times have stupid movies like this been made? Disney had "The Cat From Outer Space" some 30 or more years ago, and that was cute because, at that time, it was an original concept. It also fit well with the type of comedies coming out during that time. So now we have this movie, which simply altered the plot line a little and turned the cat in to a dog. This movie itself is a complete "dog". Vapid parental figures, too-cutesie kids who are so much smarter than the folks who sired them, and funny, space-dogs! This film would stink even it had been released as a made-for-TV movie, but then at least it wouldn't have cost you anything to change the channel if you didn't like it. Not worth the time or the money for rental or otherwise. Skip it, big time.

My brother (13) and I (15) watched this movie yesterday and concluded that it's a fine movie for kids under ten. The talking animals are cute, there's nothing really horrible about the movie, but there's nothing really great about it either. The parents were a little annoying and weren't really part of the plot. It got on my nerves that the mother in the movie didn't seem to notice that her son was lonely and hardly paid any attention to him, except when she wanted to get out her KODAK camera and snap a picture of him.I am a fan of Liam Aiken; his character was pleasant and lovable. I think Liam did as well as he could with the role, considering he was talking to dogs that didn't respond to him the entire movie. The scene towards the end of the movie where he's pouring out his heart to Hubble is really well done and shows what a great actor Liam is.The girl who played Connie wasn't much of an actor, in my opinion, she seemed kind of fake. The two bullies in the movie were really stereotypical. Most of their scenes show them following Owen around and repeating the same old insults over and over. Real creative.Bottom line: This is a "good clean fun" kind of movie for younger kids. It is rated PG because of all the poop jokes, which I'm sure they will find amusing. Make sure you watch it with the director's commentary - it was a lot more interesting than the film by itself.

HORRIBLE! Absolutely HORRIBLE! I don't even know where to start with this excuse of a film. What really p***ed me off the most...was it the horrible and cheesy acting, or was it the plot that seemed to go no where. Or MAYBE was it the fact that I was watching this movie and looking at my dog wondering if my dog really came from another planet and arrived on this planet in a UFO. Perhaps...just perhaps this movie was the opposite of CATS AND DOGS. I really do not know how else to say it. This movie was possibly one of the worst movies that I have ever seen in my entire life time.I truly pity any soul that has to go through this terrible experience and I send my deepest sympathies...
