FuzzyTagz If the ambition is to provide two hours of instantly forgettable, popcorn-munching escapism, it succeeds.

Janae Milner Easily the biggest piece of Right wing non sense propaganda I ever saw.

Erica Derrick By the time the dramatic fireworks start popping off, each one feels earned.

Phillipa Strong acting helps the film overcome an uncertain premise and create characters that hold our attention absolutely.

Wizard-8 Director Michael Winner did make some good movies during his career, though not only did his talents lie more towards action and suspense, but even in his better movies he sometimes had a heavy handed style. So it's really surprising that he was chosen to direct this silly comedy. Actually, labelling it as "silly" is giving it too much credit. For the most part, it's a really lame comedy, never finding a constant tone and instead going all over the map from slapstick to satire. That might not have mattered had the humor been funny, but it never is, one reason being that it more often than not comes across in a low energy style. There is some fun seeing so many well known faces in cameos, but these actors are usually not given enough material to make a really good impression. It doesn't help that the movie is shoddily photographed, particularly in the outdoor sequences. "The Dog Who Saved Hollywood?" The dog (who is almost an afterthought many times) should have tried to save this movie instead.

thecrafts-66710 I love Madeline Khan and Teri Garr. So, when I saw this movie for sale, I thought: "How could I have missed this gem?" After watching it, I now know why. It isn't a gem, it is a lump of coal. The movie tries to be tongue-in-cheek and high-camp but doesn't even succeed there. Yes, I know the movie isn't meant to be taken seriously (eg Young Frankenstein) but it fails there. The cast is full of stars, most of whom make cameos. Remember, the movie came out in 1976 so a lot of the old time actors and stars were still alive. But they were very hard to recognize and most only had just a few seconds of screen time. Seriously, this might be the worst movie I've ever seen.

miriamwebster Strictly for fans of all things Old Hollywood and bad movie buffs. For some reason, Hollywood was caught up in big Tinseltown wave of nostalgia in mid-Seventies (Gable & Lombard, WC Fields & Me, Day of the Locust,etc.--ultimately none of them very popular) so this must have seemed like a way for Paramount to hedge its bet--tapping into Hollywood nostalgia by way of Mel Brooks-style humor.Doubtful Mel himself (who also dipped into the Old Hollywood genre himself with Silent Movie) could have done much with a feature-length satire on Rin Tin Tin, the kind of thing that might, at best, have made an okay 10-minute sketch on The Carol Burnett Show. The dog--easily the most compelling character in the film, but in a Lassie sort of way--isn't even funny and during last reels, when he's required to attempt suicide in a variety of "comic" ways, movie really becomes not only unfunny but downright distasteful. Talents of human co-stars Madeline Kahn, Bruce Dern and blink-and-you'll-miss-her Teri Garr are totally wasted although Late Late Show fans may get a perverse kick out of seeing umpteen dozen former big-name and B-list stars of yesteryear who show up in embarrassing last-gasp career cameos. Filmic Parvo.

Dominick Mazza Won Ton Ton, The Dog Who Saved Hollywood is by far a comedy masterpiece, but it stars the lovely Madeline Kahn in a truly hysterical performance. She rises so above the material. She possesses the same kind of movie magic of the screwball comediennes of the 30's and 40's and even comes off much better. I think if Madeline Kahn were a star in those days we would have had at least 100 films starring her. But when she made her film debut in 1972 she was a true Hollywood find. After all her first four movies are all now classics and two considered masterpieces. Not to mention two Oscar nominations. But with all that greatness the movie studios offered her parts in so-so comedies. I mean she made some more very good films, but not up to her first four. She was as beautiful and extremely talented as all her peers of the day. I always felt she was one day going to get her Academy Award in her older years, but unfortunately she died much too soon. Bruce Dern, Art Carney, Teri Garr, Phil Silvers, Ron Liebman, Nancy Walker and so many stars from the past appear in this take off on Rin Tin Tin. Paramount has yet to release it on DVD. 2006 is here today and its the films 30th anniversary. I wish they would release it for us all to enjoy and cherish a underrated performance from Madeline Kahn.
