He was the sole reason I watched this.

If you think it's worth it to see him run on all fours and grow a tail, then go ahead and watch it. :)

I love Robert Downey jr but I think this role wasn't right for him. Didn't enjoy seeing him in this movie.

Only true RDJ fans should watch this. Why did he do this movie? He is much better than this. Saying that, the kids love this movie.

Was this before RDJ's big comeback after he was released? I'm a new fan. He's a solid A-lister now, and would never have done this role in his current fame, I think. Shaggy Dog was a vehicle for Tim Allen, after all.

reply

He was big on TV at the time but hadn't had much success in movies yet. It's crazy to think Tim Allen was a bigger movie star than RDJ just 6 years ago.

Definitely see it! I saw it for RDJ as well and I loved him in this role! I wish we would've found out what happened to him. The typical "goes to jail" thing just doesn't cut it with me. It's too simple, and just a terrible ending overall. His methods were messed up, yes, but he had some good ideas.

That said, if you can't stand Tim Allen or Disney things in general, you might want to fast forward quite a bit.
