Warning: Spoilers
The extravagant cop Michael Dooley needs some help to fight a drug dealer who has tried to kill him.

A "friend" gives him a dog named Jerry Lee, who has been trained to smell drugs.

With his help, Dooley sets out to put his enemy behind the bars, but Jerry Lee has a personality of his own and works only when he wants to.

On the other hand, the dog is quite good at destroying Dooley's car, house and sex-life...

This was one of those films that I absolutely loved as a kid, and could watch it over and over, because who wouldn't like a film where a dog can say 'oh oh'? Take the element of the dog away, and you pretty much have a dog of a story though. It's basically the buddy cop movie with a twist, and thanks to Belushi being quite likable, the film manages to be funny whenever the dog is off screen.

Support is okay, but it looks like they are just letting the two get on with it.

It's harmless stuff, one of those movies you will find on TV one Sunday afternoon, and still be able to enjoy it through rose tinted specs.

Still miles better than Turner and Hooch.
