Bingo

This cur has a better command of the english language than some folks I know. There was no problem he came across that was insurmountable: the pup was a plain canine genius. A kid's film all the way because, although I like smart animal shows, this was just too, too lame for an adult to sit through without some serious squirming.

Bought this for the kids a very long time ago. Anyway, I didn't know what to expect; maybe a Lassie Come Home" type storyline.

Wow was I wrong. Bingo is a joker, and...., he knows mathematics, saves a kid's life (via Chest pumps no less), is in / runs away from a circus, gets the female dog next door drunk and takes advantage of her, frees caged dogs from an evil restaurant owner using them as hamburger, gets involved with the two (of course not so bright) bad guys, testifies under oath in court, gets convicted, escapes from prison, and so many more outlandish/ridiculously corny exploits I will not detail here.

Love Cindy Williams and David (don't call me Sledge Hammer), Rasche, as a funny, not so talented NFL field goal kicker.

A movie like this is for fun only. And it's so ridiculous, it's like Slapstick: The timing has to be right and ya gotta go all the way. And by and large, it is, and they did.

I gave this 7 stars because it made me laugh out loud so many times. And I'm an old guy too. I took this movie with us on a ski trip to show it to my buddy, also an old guy, just to get his take on it. He laughed out loud several times as well. Good enough. Expensive comedies can't do that.

The movie really starts when Dad again gets traded, and they have to relocate to a different city. His son has adopted (and his hiding) bingo without his (or anybody else's) knowledge, because dad hates animals; especially dogs.

They leave without Bingo, and the Incredible Journey begins. Incredibly ridiculous that is.

Will Bingo find his owner??

I've loved this movie since I was 6 years old. I found it pretty amazing that one dog walked a long journey from Colorado to Wisconsin and did not get hit by a car. He did have several mishaps along the way of finding Chuckie and his family. The saddest part of the movie is in the scene when Bingo has to jump through that ring of fire during the circus show and seeing the fire reminds him of when he was a puppy and the pet store he was born in caught on fire and his mother was lying halfway out of a cage dead. And the next scene in Bingo's recollection where he was sitting in front of his mother's memorial fountain that read: "TAFFY- Beloved Mother" made it even more sad.I almost cried.

The rest of the movie was very funny. I thought it was really cool during that hospital scene in the last 10 minutes of the film where every single person bingo met on his journey came together to visit him and wish him well. I'm 20 and I STILL love this movie

"Bingo" is at times comparable to just about every other "boy and his heroic dog" film ever made. Its only problem is that it doesn't do the genre right. There are more absurd moments of Bingo's comic mischief than actual adventure throughout the film. Children under eight years old should really enjoy this but there is a huge chance that anybody older than that might snooze.

I know a lot of people on here gave this movie a bad review, but when I read those the only words going through my head are "What the f**k???" Geez, people. Don't you get it? The point of this movie is to be a spoof of all the other lame ones, but to be enjoyable because it's not really one of those at all. I mean, it is (but only because it's spoofing...SPOOF-ING!), but it has a good sense of humor and tone to it. I couldn't get enough of the dog. I taped it back in...probably 6th grade, and I'm planning on watching it tonight!!! I really enjoy this movie because, who can't love a dog with such a human-like character to him? Hmm??? And the people he meets along the way too, haha. It's great. It's a great comedy, I love the part where the crooks are trapped by the police and they realize all the hostages are gone, so they look at Bingo and in the next scene they grab the dog and say "one move and the dog gets it!"...well, it's funnier in the movie. But it's definitely worth the watch. I mean, if you keep an open mind and don't act like the rest of these dufuses who probably started the movie with a negative response and kept with it not even WANTING to enjoy it. Geez, give it a chance. And even if you don't like it, I think it was worth the experience. Either way there are funny parts in the movie. Has Lassie ever gone to jail? Has Willy ever been to a place where they serve killer whale meat on the menu?????? Well, have they?! No. So watch it because it's a SPOOF, not just "another" one of those movies. It's great for everyone...except for angry men, and bitchy women.
