Touches You

It's not great by any means, but it's a pretty good movie that didn't leave me filled with regret for investing time in it.

It’s an especially fun movie from a director and cast who are clearly having a good time allowing themselves to let loose.

I really wanted to like this movie. I feel terribly cynical trashing it, and that's why I'm giving it a middling 5. Actually, I'm giving it a 5 because there were some superb performances.

I honestly wasn't expecting much from this thing to begin with, I mean come on, the idea that dogs were meant to rule the world but humans just happened to do better? Dogs are dogs, no amount of talking ones in Hollywood will make them anything more than just animals. The plot basically is this: Owen is a preteen boy upset because his parents are always moving and he is dragged along by them. He wears a hideous jumpsuit and walks dogs as a job to save up for a puppy of his own. He soon buys Hubble, a cranky dog with curly hair, and next thing you know it's speaking to him. The other dogs Owen walks all says things too, and Owen meanwhile befriends a girl his age who owns one of Owen's 'clients'. Owen is told by Hubble that dogs were all from Sirius, the dog star, and are aliens meant to dominate the planet, but their roles reversed and now humans are in charge. Hubble was sent to earth to report back on the takeover progress to his leader, a huge Great Dane. According to Hubble, if he can't prove dogs have taken over, all dogs will be removed from the planet somehow and taken back to Sirius for re-training. What? You mean, no more dogs peeing on my mailbox? No more dogs licking me in the street because their owners are irresponsible? No more tacky little dress-up costumes for dogs? Oh, the humanity, what will be done? Put bluntly, really idiotic movie. And I'm sorry but all the constant dog poop jokes were a little - no, a lot - much. It was disgusting. It's bad enough having a lousy plot but then to bring that into it as well? The acting was bad, story was bad, soundtrack was annoying and nerve-wracking, the whole thing horribly inaccurate and unrealistic, even for a fantasy film. They should have called it 'Bad Boy!' because it was bad, no, beyond bad, terrible! Don't pay to watch this, it isn't worth it. If you get it for free somehow, burn it. It's an awful and pathetic movie that really shouldn't have been made.

The movie Good Boy! was stupid but hilarious, especially the part when the dogs chased those bullies. They ran like the chickens they are. Why don't they just fly away next time? The previews were really stupid, especially when I saw it before Finding Nemo came on. The previews in October were downright asinine. There were 2 parts that I'm not going to forget. The part when the dog told the boy to sit, and then he fell down on his rear end and then when the dog told the boy to speak, the boy screamed. That's stupid. The part that I think was the most asinine was when Wilson was all like "Can I have a cookie? Ten cookies? Can I have twenty cookies?" That part was so stupid that I rolled my eyes at the screen every time that was in the preview. I said to myself "If I do choose to see this movie, I'm rolling my eyes at that scene." And guess what? I did roll my eyes at that scene in the theater, despite the laughter from other people. The boy in this movie is kind of cute, but some people think of him as Dr. Dolittle. Oh please. He's not Dr. Dolittle. I'm just glad this movie was somewhat hilarious, unlike You Lucky Dog which wasn't too hilarious. Although 1 part in Good Boy made me give the talk to the hand. It was when the boy spun around in circles like his dog. Pathetic. I'm glad he didn't roll over and play dead like a dog. That would be so stupid. That's the thing with canine movies. They contain stupidity. By the way, there's no time for stupid nonsense. I have morals since I'm a teenager, and stupidity isn't one of them. The movie was all right, but I'm giving that one a 6 as well.

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...

I have seen this movie today. Whatever critics say, it's not a bad movie overall. I think Good Boy is a must see movie for dog lovers, very good movie for kids and above average funny and enjoyable movie for adults.Plot looks not great but have some of originality. It's not simply a dogs movie, it's a cute heart-warming movie about friendship and loyalty not only between dogs and human, but between people too. Acting are not bad, young Liam Aiken have reasonably good performance. Typical PG movie - without any violence and profanity with some crude humor. So , it's a good movie for whole family. Clearly, not great, but worth to see or at least to rent. 6,8 out of 10, but if I would be a few years younger, I could rate it higher.
