July. 28,1989 PGScott Turner has 3 days left in the local police department before he moves to a bigger city to get some 'real' cases—not just misdemeanors.

Wonderful character development!
Although it has its amusing moments, in eneral the plot does not convince.
When a movie has you begging for it to end not even half way through it's pure crap. We've all seen this movie and this characters millions of times, nothing new in it. Don't waste your time.
All of these films share one commonality, that being a kind of emotional center that humanizes a cast of monsters.
(Flash Review)Yes. Yes I did watch Turner & Hooch. This is not a joke. My expectations were hoping it would be better than Hot To Trot (Loooow Bar) and thankfully, it exceeded that by a rather larger margin. This is actually an OK movie and from a dog I found utterly gross from the start, by the end I sort of cared what happened to him. Hanks plays a detective about to move up in the world from a small local police department to big city action. He is a hyper rules follower, obsessed by order and cleanliness and very detail oriented. So of course by a certain circumstances, he ends up in possession of an old, large, slobbering and bull in a China shop hound with a bossy personality. The plot revolves around a local murder and the dog a key player in case. To what degree and how absurdly will the hound pester Hanks? Will he feed Hanks some clues to the case? The dog and Hanks surprisingly built a believable friendship however, there were too many scenes with Hanks in jock strap sized, Italian, Euro underwear. Overall, not as bad as one would expect.
"Turner and Hooch" was an enlivening comedy makes us laugh loudly. It was a prize for me. Tom Hanks played its role admirably. However, when heroism is largely exaggerated, it loses its real influence. At the end of the film, when protagonist the dog, while dying, saves the life of Tom Hanks in the way of "the water margin", the viewer wants to cover her/himself with blanket, stop hearing and hug her/his hands and legs. The other issue in the film is the scene when Tom Hanks cuts a piece of meat into small pieces in a comical way with a tool like axes and gives it to dog, although the dog prevents eating. A question arises to my mind: why the blood of dog is not of one color? Because it is faithful? Because we can show the feeling of subjection in association with this beast and meanwhile keep calm and kind and kind-hearted? Why protests against killing of the other animals and using of their meat in a large amount and continuously, is extensively inconsiderable in comparison with protests against killing and hurting of dog? Because their meat is more delicious? Because dog is faithful and helpful in another way?
