    It says something for Robert Downey Jr. that in a movie where a man becomes a dog, Downey creates the weirdest character.

    Feels like little more than a stale rehash with a promising cast whose talents haven't been tapped.

    Shaggy Dog is a random movie. It is about a guy who gets bitten by a dog called Shaggy and he goes through a transformation process. After a couple of days, any time his heart rate goes high, he turns into a dog. When he is the dog, when his heart rate slows, he turns back to human - with no clothes. It was a pretty good movie, but there wasn't really an antagonist. Robert Downey Jr. was the actor who played the antagonist, but he didn't really do much in his role. 6.… Expand
