Scott Turner: $97.51? Is that pesos? This is for a dog. $97.51? I'm not gonna eat this stuff. Did I buy a smoked salmon - $97.51?

Tom Hanks has seemed determined lately to flush his career down the toilet. In his previous movie, THE 'BURBS, he played the only normal guy on his block. The character was a dead bore and a waste of Hanks' comic talent. In TURNER & HOOCH, Hanks is stuck in another mundane role, playing straight man to a slobbering, butt-ugly canine. Yes, that's right, Hanks' co-star is a dog and so is the movie.
