Cartoon Rover: just as fat & gormless Rodney
If you are one of those rather odd people that for some inexplicable reason finds Rodney Dangerfield funny then this is probably right up your (rather limited) street. If you, like me, think he is an irritating very unfunny waste of space who is just staggered that this man has achieved success in this (or any) field, then avoid this film the plague. I caught it when channel surfing on late night TV and watched it with exasperated masochistic interest wondering just how something this bad could ever get made. This is no more than a cartoon film of Dangerfield being Dangerfield. As a dog. Seeing as he wrote it and adapted it and wrote the songs in it (just awful – just thinking about it again brings me close to tears) and starred in it, it is nothing more than a Dangerfield-Ego-Stroking-Project. I just don’t know how there is a market for this head-bangingly irritating dross.
