Year: | 2006 |

These days he slums it in asinine family comedies like this, all of which contain the same tired message dressed up in a 90 minute sitcom about special or extraordinary powers.
A remake of The Shaggy DA, he plays another absent dad who has to go through a completely life-changing (and crap) life-changing experience to make him realise he loves his kids.
He turns into a dog, hypnotised (or something) by a magical dog that was captured in Tibet by a nasty pharmaceutical company. Cue a million predictable jokes about him chasing cats, sleeping on the floor and panting. If it had been a little more adult he'd presumably have sniffed someone's arse and licked his balls too. Other talents like Danny Glover, Philip Baker Hall and Robert Downey Jr should be terminally embarrassed - this movie is enough to get the latter back on hard drugs.
