A cop (Tom Hanks) finds his orderly life messed up by a dog, but uses his canine buddy to break up a drug ring. |

| Astonishingly, it took five screenwriters to come up with a mechanical, contrived and lazily plotted storyline, almost identical to that of the previous year's James Belushi movie, K9. Even more astonishingly, audiences flocked to see it. Apart from Hanks, the film's principal asset was Hooch, a heavy-jowled, slobbering mastiff. Many cinema-goers found Hooch cute, although his lack of acting experience showed in one scene where he was meant to be mean and moody, and his tail was wagging. | | MIXED | | No more than a well-made comic Rin-Tin-Tin movie, but its light, flexible star, Tom Hanks, transcends it. | | | | (Pauline Kael, New Yorker) | | ANTI | | You wouldn't think that a film pairing a cop with a dog could possible be predictable, but this one manages it. | | | | (Simon Rose, Essential Film Guide, 1993) | | Strenuously unfunny. | | | (Halliwell's Film Guide, 2004) |
