Detective Scott Turner has three days left in the local police department before he moves to a bigger city to get some 'real' cases—not just misdemeanors. When Amos Reed is murdered, Scott sets himself on the case, but the closest thing to a witness to the murder is Reed's dog, Hooch, which Scott has to take care of—to avoid Hooch being 'put to sleep'.

Top Critics Reviews
rotten:
The rather mechanical style of director Roger Spottiwoode (who took over the film after original director Henry Winkler departed) fails to enliven the stereotypical criminal proceedings.

rotten:
From the moment when Hooch first appears to the strains of Strauss' 'Also sprach Zarathustra', the gags can be smelt a mile off, and the thriller elements are as hackneyed as an episode of Murder She Wrote.

The one level on which this mild children's comedy works is as an extended gross joke for 8-year-olds.

If there's a new hair in this dogeared dramedy, it would take a bloodhound to sniff it out.

Hanks, who can even grace a film such as "The 'Burbs," is always a movie's best friend.
