Editorial Review:

Amazon.com:
Much better than your average cop-and-dog movie (e.g., K-9), Turner and Hooch is really a love story about a control freak (Tom Hanks) who gradually resigns to the messy chaos of a sweet hulk of a pooch named Hooch. The excuse for this relationship is that the dog can identify a murderer and Hanks needs him, but the film is really about such hilarious moments as Hanks bathing Hooch with a long brush, and a wild chase through the streets when the sharp-eyed mutt spots his suspect. Layered over this is a healthy love story between Hanks and animal vet Mare Winningham, who share a terribly sexy scene together--while fully clothed--doing no more than making breakfast. (Hanks directed this scene, though Roger Spottiswoode directed the rest of the movie.) --Tom Keogh

Rating: 5 out of 5 stars - Turner and Hooch
This movie is awesome. It is filled with laughter throughout. One of Tom Hanks best movies I think.



Rating: 3 out of 5 stars - TURNER & HOOCH
TURNER & HOOCH (1989), starring Tom Hanks, Mare Winningham, Craig T. Nelson, and Reginald VelJohnson is a fun, little comedy from yesteryear. The most remarkable character in the story is Hooch, a Dogue de Bordeaux, who provides the comedy through his interaction with Hanks' character, Scott Turner.

Scott Turner is a small-town police detective ... Read More



Rating: 5 out of 5 stars - One of my favorites!
This is one of our favorites! Anyone who has ever done home construction will appreciate this humor. Tom Hanks is, as always, wonderful. I highly recommend this movie!



Rating: 5 out of 5 stars - Fantastic
This is a great movie. We just wanted to update our collection and switch from VHS to DVD.



Rating: 4 out of 5 stars - Early Hanks is a winner
Showing the skill and personality which later saw Tom Hanks win many awards, Turner and Hooch is a fun detective/romance romp helped by a remarkable dog. (The dog should have had a special nomination for "Best Supporting Canine"!)
