the leading man is my tpye

You won't be disappointed!

Lack of good storyline.

I wanted to like it more than I actually did... But much of the humor totally escaped me and I walked out only mildly impressed.

I am honestly surprised at the low ratings of this movie . it is a hilarious comedy and it really does not deserve such ratings . It is really funny , from the start to finish . the idea is new , the jokes are cool , may be a little on the animal side .

The Animal (2001): Dir: Luke Greenfield / Cast: Rob Schnieder, Colleen Haskell, John C. McGinley, Cloris Leachman, Ed Asner: Nauseous images of a grown man sniffing someone's butt in search of drugs. Film addresses communication urges from within with sick references to bestiality. Rob Schneider plays a cop in training who is in an accident where a rock crushes his car. The effect here look about as hideous as a roll of toilet paper bouncing off the car. A scientist patches him up using animal parts, which gives him unusual tendencies. Colleen Haskell plays an animal shelter employee impressed with his ability to allow birds to feed out of his gaping mouth. Concludes with dead bodies and a horrid plot twist. Schneider is alarmingly gross as dinner for two involves urination under the table. He also licks his crotch and seduces a goat. Haskell makes little impression despite the one key revelation she is involved in. John C. McGinley plays a rival cop investigating the murders and will get his just desserts in typical disgusting fashion. Finally there is Cloris Leachman appearing to remind us that she is far better than this. Directed by Luke Greenfield who must have thought he had an idea to present but like any potential idea it needs a followup screenplay that rises above formula as oppose to the gutter. Unfortunately it turned disgustingly savage and should be fed to lions. Score: 2 / 10

The movie is literal sh*t. It is so depressing that you can't forgive yourself (or in my case your roommate) for watching this. It has no actual comedy, it only tries to be funny but fails at it horribly. You are highly advised to watch this movie if you want to commit suicide but lack in your intent.The acting of Rob Schneider is perfect but the storyline has so much wrong in it that he can't make it up for that with even his best efforts. I like Rob Schneider's acting but the movie was overall pathetic and actually PAINFUL TO WATCH.The best part of the movie was when Rob Schneider pulls a boy out of the water. A movie with such a low point to be its best says it all.It also had sick attempts of 'black' jokes which did nothing more than to kill the bit of life left in you a little more. FINALLY, PLEASE do not watch this movie.

Plays better on cable with 4 minutes missing. A funny premise that borders on the obscene, as Rob Schneider's animal instincts take over after a zany mad scientist puts him back together with animal parts and glands after a near-fatal car crash. Originally meant as an Adam Sandler vehicle, Rob does a masterful comical performance in a really silly movie actually funnier than "Ace Ventura Pet Detective". Because of his "special abilities", "The Animal" can smell heroin being smuggled in an airplane passenger's body and saves the mayor's child from drowning. He is hopelessly harassed by his boss as he tries to survive probation on the police force. Right up there as a farce reminiscent of "The Man with Two Brains". Like "Blazing Saddles" it even has several uncomfortable "black prejudice" comments by the only black man in the film. Look for Ed Asner as an old policeman in a very insignificant role. Collen Haskell is really cute as the love interest who ends up being part "Animal" herself. ("We have the same doctor.") Rob tries to hump everything in sight, gorges on cattle and wakes up in a butcher shop window, stuffed with salami and ham. It even makes fun of the Frankenstein movie's torch-lit mob scenes. A short funny movie, very well done, but with low-class humor, to be sure. Not for young children, although much more is suggested than actually shown.
