Bingo

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.

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.

"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 cur has a better command of the english language than some folks I know. There was no problem he came across that was insurmountable: the pup was a plain canine genius. A kid's film all the way because, although I like smart animal shows, this was just too, too lame for an adult to sit through without some serious squirming.

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.
