It's times like these when you witness a dog's testicles being touched to loud applause and cheers from an audience that sometimes make you wonder what you're doing with your life.

Show Dogs fits perfectly on the resume of Mr. Raja Gosnell, the man behind Smurfs, Home Alone 3 and Scooby Doo. In contrast to the latter film, he works with real dogs this time, but when CGI is used for certain stunts, time seems to have stood still and the effects are just as ugly as they were in 2002. Furthermore, I hope that Will Arnett's conversion or second car pleases him, because money must have been the only reason for his participation. The man can be genuinely very funny, but even he can't do anything with this script. It is clear that the story in a film like Show Dogs is completely nonsensical. But you have to come from a very good home to deliver a script with so little humor. You wonder who thought that a film about talking dogs should also be taken seriously enough. But the attempts that are made for comic scenes also largely fall flat.

1.5 stars.

I once caught this film and watched it without great expectations. Not a great film, but fine to catch with small children.

The story is quite predictable, but that was to be expected.

Not wow, not bad, fine for the target audience.

Why have talking animal movies fallen out of favor? This utterly lame crime comedy has all the bad ingredients that killed the genre. Rottweiler Max [Ludacris] is a police dog who is paired with New York FBI agent Frank [Will Arnett] to bust a gang of animal smugglers they let get away. The trail leads to a dog show at Caesars Palace in Las Vegas, and so Frank and Max are signed up as contestants. Frank gets help from three-time winner Mattie [Natasha Lyonne], and Max finds a mentor in discredited former champ Philippe [Stanley Tucci]. There's a romantic subplot involving Max and title contender Daisy [Jordin Sparks], and A-listers Shaquille O'Neal, Alan Cumming and RuPaul have been persuaded to lend their voices to other dogs. The acting is as hopeless as the slapstick action and attempted humor. Only if you find yourself rolling around on the floor laughing at the pigeons in the prologue might you think differently.
