The Shaggy Dog

ComedyFamilyFantasy98 min

Deputy district attorney Dave Douglas has little time for his family and even less patience for their crusade to save animals from a shady biotech lab. Then a bite from a sacred Tibetan dog turns his own life upside down: at unpredictable moments, Dave transforms into a shaggy bearded collie. As he tries to hide the change from his wife and kids, dog instincts wreck his courtroom composure, his work, and every attempt to keep control. The accident also puts him on the trail of the lab’s secrets, forcing this hard-charging prosecutor to see the case—and his family—from the other side. Tim Allen leads the chaos, with Robert Downey Jr. as the lab’s slippery mastermind.
