This remake unlike the 1959 original is entertaining using a versatile cast and some very cool special effects. Deputy D.A. Dave Douglas(Tim Allen) is knee deep in a case involving an animal lab that is secretly working on a genetic-mutation serum. Dave is an absentee husband and father. His family life is coming undone. If things couldn't get worse, he is accidentally infected by a dog bite and periodically turns into a "shaggy" dog. Some situations will induce belly laughs.
Allen could have easily taken a backseat to Robert Downey Jr, who is hilarious as the movie's villain. Also notable work is turned in by Kristen Davis, Danny Glover and Spenser Breslin. Some of the humor is a bit rude, but shouldn't stop the whole family from enjoying THE SHAGGY DOG.
