Synopsis

Scott Turner has 3 days left in the local police department before he moves to a bigger city to get some 'real' cases—not just misdemeanors. When Amos Reed is murdered, Scott sets himself on the case, but the closest thing to a witness to the murder is Reed's dog, Hooch, which Scott has to take care of—to avoid Hooch being 'put to sleep'.

Plantiana Yawn. Poorly Filmed Snooze Fest.
Linkshoch Wonderful Movie
Stellead Don't listen to the Hype. It's awful
Matrixiole Simple and well acted, it has tension enough to knot the stomach.
nims-1975 Turner & Hooch is a hilarious film. This film has excellent acting by Tom Hanks as Scott Turner, Mare Winningham as Emily Carlson, Reginald Veljohnson as David Sutton, Scott Paulin as Zack Gregory and J.C Quinn as Walter Boyett. This film is a great film to watch and I find it very entertaining and funny. I just don't know why this film got a rating of 6.1 out of 10, man that is low it deserves and should have been given a higher rating. This film which was a cop comedy wasn't as good as Beverly Hills Cop which was excellent but it definitely was a very good film. Rating: 8.7 out of 10
Filipe Neto Tom Hanks was, at the beginning of his career, an actor very focused on light and quickly forgettable comedies. This would only be one more if it did not have the support of a furry friend who shows to be absolutely irresistible: the dog that plays Hooch. The way Hanks irritates himself about the dog is very funny, as is the way the dog turns the life of Scott Turner (Hanks' character) into a nightmare. Turner is an organized cop, very methodical and neat, and Hooch totally destroys his furniture, his things and even his car. All this happens in the middle of a larger plot in which the death of the dog's previous owner is investigated, a murder whose only witness is precisely the animal. The ending is quite unexpected and deeply moving. Hanks has been well throughout the film but the dog is clearly the star here. It's not a fabulous movie or a work of art, but it's a great movie to watch with the whole family, it's sure to make everyone laugh.
Aaron1375 This film had its ups and downs, it opened the same year as the Jim Belushi dog/cop movie "K-9" and while this one performed better than that movie I prefer it to this one. This one had its charms, but overall I think it suffers from a weak plot device to get the dog in Hanks' character possession. While in "K-9" it made perfect sense, Belushi's character needed a drug sniffing dog and he ended up with his. In this one though the dog's owner is killed and Hanks takes the dog in the hopes it will somehow identify the killer. Granted it is a movie, but it is still a bit far fetched that this cop would think a dog is his best lead to catch a killer, and it seems even more implausible that a super neat person would take this super messy dog into his home. Still, it makes from some funny scenes here and there with a rather funny scene where the dog is wrecking the house while poor Hanks is out spending a ton of money on said dog for chew toys and such. There is also a rather funny stake out scene too. The film sometimes loses its luster with a few to many needless characters such as Reginald VelJohnson. I like the guy in "Die Hard", but here he is just another person to take away screen time from Hanks and the dog. There are a few other pointless people in this as well, and this has a rather bad ending in my opinion as well (sorry, but dogs do not have perfect clone puppies like that). Overall, I say this was an okay film, just not nearly as good to my as "K-9".
mrhassell "Congratulations you broke the case!". About 60 minutes into the movie the Hooch drops the goods.A few seconds later, the bad guy is in his sights.Now call me cynical but isn't that just the way life is sometimes?First out you have to eat a few dog biscuits, then if your in the right place at the right time... Really a great family movie!Bachelor Party is one of the greats for younger guy's but for the family. Turner and Hooch has to be one of the most entertaining and fun ways to spend an evening with younger people.
