"Grown-ups might not roll over for Show Dogs, but children almost surely will. With its fart jokes and smart-alecky canines, this talking-animal comedy is aimed at a young audience anyway. For dog-loving adults, well, it’s just engaging enough to make them prick up their ears." ... Read full review

"And thanks to some creative character casting and a self-aware script that isn't averse to poking fun at itself, Show Dogs emerges as a high-concept family comedy that manages to avoid being taken for the runt of the litter, even if it doesn't really bring anything fresh and different to the arena." ...

"It all plays out a bit randomly, but the leapfrogged plot points, thin characters and blunt messaging in Max Botkin and Marc Hyman's peppy script prove forgivable, given how this nicely modulated film largely avoids the hyper-aggressive jokiness and desperate stabs at relevance that often plague kidpics." ...

"Think of it as “Miss Congeniality” for dogs, replete with the sort of slapstick humor, puerile gags and for-adults-only pop-culture references required of such endeavors. Its frantic pace should make it a mildly amusing diversion for the younger set, but its juvenile imagination (or lack thereof) is likely to drive anyone over the age of 7 barking mad." ...

"Families with canines are better off staying home and having an old-fashioned backyard frolic than trotting out to see Show Dogs, a panting, poorly trained entry in the live-action/talking animal genre that for once makes viewers long for the candy-colored, half-witted professionalism of third-tier Pixar-knockoff animation." ...

I am giving this movie a 3 just because I like dogs and most likely is why I watched the movie, which mostly was quite dumb :D

This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. This movie is the worst I ever seen. The most engaging part of the movie were the commercials & trailers at the beginning, The most engaging scenes in the movie itself were the competition itself, and the only joke that made me laugh was that radio scene you saw in the trailer.

Show Dogs is also another prime example of what to not do to make your movie successful. Don't fill them up with clichés because everyone knows they'll get sick and tired of them before the movie could ever end. Expand

I challenge anybody to defend this as anything other than a poorly made, disgracefully ideated, and horrifically produced misfire of an attempt at cashing in on a fad that died back in the early 2000's. Simply one of the worst. Expand

I went in expecting bad, seeing the horrific posters, and I was unfortunately proved wrong. And I don't mean it was good. Even as a children's movie it is god awful. The fart jokes are extremely common and bad. If it makes you feel better my three year old nephew thought it was 'okay, but kinda boring'. A true professional reviewer, in my opinion. Expand
