Quigley

If you ever plan on renting (hopefully not buying) this movie, think again. It was as if Gary Busey had a gun to his head and was forced to act or die. I only wonder if Busey was arrested for something and was sentenced to play in this movie because I just don't see the guy that acted so much better with Keanu Reeves in Point Break play in this disaster. It was a feel-good movie, but there are thousands of other feel-good movies that make you laugh without wanting you to get your money back.

The only reason I would ever tell someone to rent this movie is to watch this movie is to see Gary Busey jump up and down like a monkey. If you want a good funny movie, pass up Quigley and go rent Spongebob or something.

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.

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.

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.

My wife rented this movie and then conveniently never got to see it. If I ever want to torture her I will make her watch this movie. I've watched many movies with my 4 year old and I can take almost anything. Barney is refreshing after a shot of Quigley.

The plot, dialog, cinematography, & acting were one step above (or equal to) a cheap porn film. I feel cheated out of $3.69 that we paid to rent it and then 90 minutes of my life I will never get back. I will say my 4 year old liked it, luckily it was a rental we had to return right away.

I just hope that the younger actor's careers are not ruined from being in this movie.
