A film that is just thrown together to make a few quick bucks from parents of very young children who don't realize how awful it is. The adventures of a dog are followed in this tedious film-watching experience. Terrible acting does nothing to advance the story that feels like it was thrown together by toddlers after watching an episode of "The Teletubbies". Full of fleas. Turkey (0 stars out of 5).
Bought this for the kids a very long time ago. Anyway, I didn't know what to expect; maybe a Lassie Come Home" type storyline.
Wow was I wrong. Bingo is a joker, and...., he knows mathematics, saves a kid's life (via Chest pumps no less), is in / runs away from a circus, gets the female dog next door drunk and takes advantage of her, frees caged dogs from an evil restaurant owner using them as hamburger, gets involved with the two (of course not so bright) bad guys, testifies under oath in court, gets convicted, escapes from prison, and so many more outlandish/ridiculously corny exploits I will not detail here.
Love Cindy Williams and David (don't call me Sledge Hammer), Rasche, as a funny, not so talented NFL field goal kicker.
A movie like this is for fun only. And it's so ridiculous, it's like Slapstick: The timing has to be right and ya gotta go all the way. And by and large, it is, and they did.
I gave this 7 stars because it made me laugh out loud so many times. And I'm an old guy too. I took this movie with us on a ski trip to show it to my buddy, also an old guy, just to get his take on it. He laughed out loud several times as well. Good enough. Expensive comedies can't do that.
The movie really starts when Dad again gets traded, and they have to relocate to a different city. His son has adopted (and his hiding) bingo without his (or anybody else's) knowledge, because dad hates animals; especially dogs.
They leave without Bingo, and the Incredible Journey begins. Incredibly ridiculous that is.
Will Bingo find his owner??

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.

BINGO, in my opinion, is a cute movie about a very special friendship between a boy and a dog. I thought that Hal and Natalie (David Rasche and Cindy Williams) were a little cold-hearted, but Chuckie (Robert J. Steinmilller Jr.) was a very sweet kid. Bingo was a sweet dog, though. He even saved Chuckie in times of trouble. Way to go, Bingo! If you ask me, that's one thing that made the bond between them so special. When Bingo was trying to catch up to Chuckie during his cross-country movie, I felt really moved inside. In conclusion, I highly recommend this movie to all you dog lovers or Cindy Williams fans who have not seen it.
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!

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.
