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
Turner and Hooch This movie is awesome. It is filled with laughter throughout. One of Tom Hanks best movies I think.
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. Hooch is the primary witness in his previous owner's murder. Hooch is also a menace to an orderly home due to his rambunctious behavior and sheer brawn. Scott Turner is a small-town police detective who is set on solving the murder. Turner is also a compulsive neat freak (almost a predecessor for MONK). The comedy emerges between the collision of worlds as Turner and Hooch are thrown together, and Turner must share his home with the beast. This film is excellent for pulling out of the archives on days when a good laugh is just the ticket!
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!
Fantastic This is a great movie. We just wanted to update our collection and switch from VHS to DVD.
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"!)
