You Lie Down with DOGS...

Time to rip into an over-ripe piece of dog sh*t! 
The good:

Dax Shepard and Luis Guzman's cameo: There two scenes are the only scenes that feel lively.

The bad:

Rita Wilson: Wilson has less than five minutes of screen-time, but makes a big impression. A BAD, big impression; imagine the reverse of Viola Davis in Doubt! In that limited screen-time to gets her fingers jammed in a trunk and ends up the hospital. Fitting.

Walt Becker: The director of this and Wild Hogs needs to be trampled by both dogs and hogs!

Kelly Preston: Usually, I disagree with all the attention she gets from the Razzies. This, on the other hand, is completly justified!

The ugly:

Robin Williams: He hasn't been funny since the 2000 Academy Awards*. This is no different.

John Travolta: Can we launch John Travolta into outer-space? I don't think anyone would mind.

Trying to shoe-horn a PG-13 movie into a PG-rating: I mentioned in the main forum, that I read somewhere that this was supposed to be PG-13, but it bombed with test-audiences, so they re-edited it to be PG. This makes sense because of all the scenes that seem out-of-place (i.e. the viagra joke**) and the LONG time between the finish date and the release date.

God this was bad! I watched Contagion today*** and I'd rather live in that movie's universe than watch this again! Grade: F

Next-up: Cats & Dogs 2!

*he sung Blame Canada from the South Park movie with every Canadian stereotype running around in the backround!
**interestingly enough, that crappy The Pink Panther remake, also, started life as a PG-13 movie, but was edited down to a PG after bad test-screening and had a viagra joke!
***I gave it a B, would have been higher if there was more scenes of Goopy Paltrow in pain!
