Audience Reviews

r96sk 7/10 Jul 26, 2020
A little too repetitive at times, but <em>'The Ugly Dachshund'</em> still entertains to a suitable level.

The plot is somewhat nonexistent, all of this film's perks come with its silliness, humour and acting - all of which are more than decent. Dean Jones & Suzanne Pleshette are fun in their respective roles of Mark & Fran. Charlie Ruggles (Pruitt) & Kelly Thordsen (Carmody) are alright too.

The animals are as cute as you would expect, everything involving them is very silly and even nonsensical in moments. If you just switch your brain off and enjoy the madness that ensues then you'll have a fine time.

If this was on for longer than 93 minutes then I would've certainly rated it lower. However, as it isn't, I feel it's right to class it as good.
