Trivia:
The scene where John goes to the pound he walks past a series of dog cages. In one of the cages, the dog says, "I am Keyser Soze" This is a reference to The Usual Suspects moreGoofs:
Factual errors: When John and Gene are operating on the tiger, the pulse is the same as a normal adult human. A tiger's heart beats much more slowly. moreQuotes:
[first lines]Lucky: [narrating] You know, they say the great thing about being a kid is, it's so easy to pretend. You can have a conversation with your dog or a baseball or a banana. Well, what if wasn't pretend? What if you could have a conversation. I mean, not with a baseball or a banana - that's ridiculous, but - but with your dog?

eddie murphy is incredibly funny again. the animals are funnier still. infact the whole thing is so believable and has the magical quality that makes a kids' movie so endearign.
so why the low rating? cos its so very crude!!! too crude for a kids & family movie. even when u laugh, u feel guilty about it, esp. when kids are around.
heres a good story gone bad, sadly part 2 is worse. would have been a brilliant movie in the hands of disney.
maybe disney should be given the monopoly on kids' movies on a platter. or maybe along with dreamworks, theyve been real good too, so far :) 20th century fox should stick catering to adults.
