Very seldom do I or my family go to the movies but we do rent a lot of movies once they are released to the general public.
This movie will never be one of the all time greats. However, it is well done and very cute. I would have never thought of Gary Busey in this move, but the character he plays fits right in with the villain type roles he is usually in.
I think the entire point of this move is "you reap what you sow." In that regard it promotes good moral values and enforces the saying "do unto others what you would have them do unto you."
My wife and I, as well as two of our grandchildren enjoyed this movie and didn't feel it was a waste of money to rent it.

Archie (Gary Busey) is a ruthless businessman who gets what he wants, hook or by crook. Having no personal life, he concentrates on "getting" way ahead of the competition. Curiously, he also has a strong dislike for dogs. One day, as he is driving, he spots a dog in the road and swerves to miss the canine. Both of them, however, end up dead. Now Archie appears before the pearly gates, where the angels see no reason whatsoever to let Archie in. But Sweeney (Oz Perkins) suggests a possible route to redemption. If they send Archie back to earth as the little dog, and he can make two huge gestures of goodwill, he can enter heaven. It's agreed. Archie returns to earth as a beautiful white Pomeranian named Quigley, with Sweeney along as a guide. The former businessman is ordered to set things right for employees at his firm and to make amends with his long-forgotten brother, Woodward (Christopher Atkins) and his family, a wife and two kids. But, how can he do this, all as a tiny dog? We'll see! Actually, this family-friendly film has some very nice messages and a truly great cast. Busey is too funny as the canine, for we see him talking to Sweeney as himself, only in a "begging" pose. Cute. Atkins, Perkins, and all of the rest are very, very fine as well. The production has also been made with great care, for it has lovely camera work, costumes, sets and scenery. The main thing it lacks is a sure-fire script and good direction/editing. For example, most kids will be lost in the first half of the film, for Archie's trip back to his former firm is a bit fuzzy. Why is he looking for a "disc" and how can he make amends with his former employees. Once, however, the story goes in the direction of the family, the pace picks up and children will be entertained. Therefore, it is too bad that there can't be a few "teaser" scenes, in the beginning, about the family and have the corporate scenes worked into the middle. Nevertheless, if you love dogs, family films, and movies with good morality lessons, pick up Quigley. In truth, few folks will not adore this darling little dog's abundant talents and tricks.
I was looking to buy the original Benji movie on DVD, and this movie was included with it. I chose to watch this movie basically because I like pomeranians.
No it's not Oscar material and no it doesn't have state of the art special effects, but I also don't think it's as bad as some people have made it out to be. It was an okay movie. They did what they could with the money they had.
Big budgets and high quality special effects don't always equal a good movie. Seems like most big budget movies that come out nowadays are either all about the special effects (aka: weak storyline), low brow humor, or it's yet another twisted horror movie.
So this movie was nice in the sense that it wasn't the usual one of the above.

I am a glutton for punishment in that I occasionally WANT to see a bad film. After all, they can be unintentionally funny. And so, when I saw that "Quigley" has an overall score of 2.6, I thought this one was for me! What I also noticed is that like many bad films, there seem to be some dishonest reviews which which say 'I love this movie!', 'Wow what an experience!' and 'An unexpected classic'...despite the 2.6 and MANY terrible reviews. Why they were so glowing is anyone's guess...but with a movie this bad, it's suspicious and confusing.
Archie (Gary Bussey) is a nasty man, as evidenced by over the top behaviorsas the film begins. In addition to being an evil boss, he also hates dogs. So, when he dies, he is punished by being sent back to Earth as a dog.... I kid you not.
My oldest daughter watched the movie and kept saying 'How did they get some GOOD and FAMOUS actors to appear in this awful movie?!'...and you do wonder. As for Busey, he was experiencing a lot off camera problems...but this doesn't explain Oz Perkins or Bill Fagerbakke being in the film. Perhaps Oz was early in his career and took the job because of this...and perhaps Bill's checks for voicing Patrick on "Spongbob Squarepants" bounced.
Overall, this is a film with horrid writing and is a chore to watch...and this would also be true for kids. It obviously was made on a shoestring budget and is one most in the movie would hope you'd never see! A truly awful and dumb movie with nothing to redeem it.

So tonight my friends and I rented two amazing movies both starring the sensational Gary Busey, this movie and the wonderful Gingerdead Man and I just have to say this movie is not only hilarious, but beautiful as well. You really knew where the characters were coming from and could relate. I mean, when haven't any of us been in a situation like this. The movie was terrificly written, each line added a new twist to the film. Don't even get me started on the special effects...alright, i will get started. The only word that comes to mind is astounding. I've seen a lot of family movies in my life, but this one just takes the cake. I also really appreciated the underlying biblical references, although i thought they could have been more subtle. The ending was also great and I definitely hope they will do the right thing and make at least one sequel. This is up there not only as one of my favorite Gary Busey movies (Along with Point Break, Rookie of the Year, and of course, The Gingerdead Man), but one of my favorite movies ever. This movie touched my heart and I know if you watch it, it will change your life like it did mind. After watching this, i will never look at the world the same way again.

- TriviaGary Busey reportedly threw a fit on set because the set of heaven didn't look like the "real" heaven, which Busey claimed to have seen after almost dying in a motorcycle accident 1988. His fit became a fist fight when another actor, who also claimed to have seen the real heaven, disagreed with Busey's description, and production was shut down for the day.
