Bingo is a very strange movie. It's not a bad one, but it missed the target because it's not completely a kids animal movie like many others as well as it's not completely a spoof to such movies. And such half-and-half as a rule has very little chances for success. The beginning and the ending of the story are incredibly typical for an animal family flick but all the rest of it is quite different. Well, it was so silly and at the same time so funny. Personally, I laughed many times watching this strange movie (and I'm not a spoof fan), but as in every silly comedy there was nothing especially memorable in this movie. Humor in many ways is typical for a kids friendly movie, though sometimes it becomes a bit crude for such movies. The language also is too strong for a family movie. Overall, I found Bingo funny and enjoyable enough for watching once, but definitely before watching it you should know what kind of movies you are going to watch.
My grade 5.6 out of 10. Sorry for my bad English.

I've loved this movie since I was 6 years old. I found it pretty amazing that one dog walked a long journey from Colorado to Wisconsin and did not get hit by a car. He did have several mishaps along the way of finding Chuckie and his family. The saddest part of the movie is in the scene when Bingo has to jump through that ring of fire during the circus show and seeing the fire reminds him of when he was a puppy and the pet store he was born in caught on fire and his mother was lying halfway out of a cage dead. And the next scene in Bingo's recollection where he was sitting in front of his mother's memorial fountain that read: "TAFFY- Beloved Mother" made it even more sad.I almost cried.
The rest of the movie was very funny. I thought it was really cool during that hospital scene in the last 10 minutes of the film where every single person bingo met on his journey came together to visit him and wish him well. I'm 20 and I STILL love this movie

"Bingo" is at times comparable to just about every other "boy and his heroic dog" film ever made. Its only problem is that it doesn't do the genre right. There are more absurd moments of Bingo's comic mischief than actual adventure throughout the film. Children under eight years old should really enjoy this but there is a huge chance that anybody older than that might snooze.
This movie is a great feel-good movie.
Bingo the dog is particularly funny.
The dog is as good as Lassie or any other acting dog!
The dog probably deserves an Oscar!
The beginning of the film starts pretty quickly, which is goods as the plot gets going straight away.
Bingo the dog keeps you entertained throughout until the middle of the movie when the other characters begin to take affect.
It would be funny to see the dog play bingo online or mobile bingo, but alas he just generally does tricks, and acts a bit like a human dog would.
This is a great kids movie, particularly for anyone that owns a dog.
For anyone that likes to play bingo, then this film is not for you, as it has nobody playing online bingo, mobile bingo - or even going down to their local hall to play.
We recommend this Bingo film, as much to see the funny dog as anything!

Normally I am not much for any movie that features an animal and as a result I avoided watching this movie as long as I could. However, since my grand daughter and my wife watched it over and over for months it was inevitable that I would be exposed to it. What a joy. To my surprise it was a parody, and a clever one at that. Once I realized the film was a spoof and being played for laughs I couldn't stop laughing. The well written script and hilarious sight gags make this fun for adults and children. However, I do have one complaint about the writing. Why was the limited profanity in the script? It adds nothing to the movie and worst of all is not funny. I can't believe that a guy like me who likes "Pulp Fiction" would be making this complaint, but without the needless profanity this is a perfect family movie. Profanity aside "Bingo" is a hoot.
Did you know
- TriviaA scene with Bunny shown in the trailer did not make it into the theatrical release. It shows her throwing raw hamburger onto a window which Bingo is looking out with her saying, "raw meat". The context for this joke is unclear.
- GoofsWhen Chuckie is being held in the warehouse, the rope moves around in between shots. Also in one scene it is wrapped around him five times, but in every other scene it's wrapped around him four times. He very obviously is untied and tied up again in between shots.
