Could it be that the The Shaggy Dog" might actually be good?!?!

I have absolutely nothing against Tim Allen, the original The Shaggy Dog, or Disney--in fact, I like all three! And when I first heard about the film, I had high hopes this might be a pet-themed movie worth seeing. But after seeing the gut-wrenchingly horrible trailer for the upcoming remake The Shaggy Dog, I was prepared for the worst.

Have you seen the trailer? What self-respecting writer or director would think anyone would find it humorous (much less actually funny) that a little old lady ends up hanging from a tree after being run into by a human acting like a dog? When a trailer insults my intelligence, I don't hold much hope for the movie itself (and believe me, it's actually quite difficult to insult my intelligence!)

So I was pleasantly surprised when the first review I came across was actually quite positive about The Shaggy Dog. Reuters says "Allen is at his comic best" and that the flick is a "fast-moving Walt Disney Co. comedy that manages to sail past many of the cliches usually found in this genre."
