Pleasurable "policeman's best friend" comedy stars Tom Hanks as Scott Turner, a fastidious detective on the verge of transferring to Sacramento from his small Northern California jurisdiction. But when an old friend is murdered, Turner reluctantly teams with the crime’s sole witness--the victim’s immense, sloppy, foul-tempered dog, Hooch--in order to track down the killer. With Mare Winningham, Craig T. Nelson, Reginald VelJohnson, and Beasley as Hooch. 100 min. Widescreen; Soundtracks: English Dolby Digital stereo, French Dolby Digital stereo.
