EasilyBemused For those of you hesitant to rent this movie based on the box description, several points may change your mind. The dog in this movie doesn't talk, and isn't CGI. Whoopi Goldberg has relatively little screen time, perhaps about fifteen minutes total. The guy from 'Office Space' with the grudge against the copier, Ajay Naidu, plays a major role. This is a dark comedy, more then a crime drama. A brief scene involving dog fighting is one of the lesser reasons why this is =not= a family film. Despite the violence, it actually contains less gore then crime dramas such as 'Bound', and it's implied rather then shown. The characters appear at first to be clichéd roles – a retiring police officer, a foreign taxi driver, a hit man with a conscience, an apparently homosexual neighbor – but they end up not conforming to their Hollywood templates. The movie contains a refreshing mix of amusing situations, ironic humor, and slapstick comedy, and isn't dragged down by it's fifteen minutes of the 'warm fuzzies' type of comedy associated with Whoopi Goldberg's movies. Several things drag this movie down from a 10 for me. It's lacking polish in places, and some of the shots could be framed better. It 'feels' low budget. The ending, in it's twisting, is a bit too choppy and needs a few more threads tying it into the rest of movie. If you're a fan of Todd Solondz's movies, don't be mislead by the box on this movie - Definitely worth renting.

bbbl67 This movie started out so good too. Then all of a sudden everyone bares fangs and starts double-crossing and killing each other at the end! Yes, to be a good, clever ironic movie, you need to have some double-crossing. But the writer must've gotten lazy, and switched off the "good" and "clever" part, and just had everyone become a monster.Couldn't they have shown all of those apartment complex neighbors outwitting the bad guys and getting to keep the money in the end? Possibly even doing something to get revenge for the accidental murders of their two apartment mates at the beginning? Why does the dog-catcher get all of the money? She only showed up in the middle very briefly. Yes, sorry, I gave away the ending ... don't worry about it, you're not likely going to watch it all of the way till the end of this movie anyway.

rsob72 This movie will hurt your soul. The writer of this movie should be charged with obscene crimes against humanity. The star of this movie, the dog, presumably committed doggie suicide after being involved in such a sad and depressing project.What is with Hollywood? In their world you can only succeed if you love animals while hating humans. Or if you're an exceptionally unattractive and unfunny minority comedienne. If you're not Whoopie-fied, you will always betray your friends and relatives, while offing other people like so many gnats.I would venture that producers/writers/director/actors probably don't own mutts.I hate movies like this. Was it written by a rabid pro-death college student? Who has such a pessimistic view of life? Who financed this madness? I don't care who was in this evacuated bowel of a movie, it stank like 3 day old shrimp peels in a half full Alpo can in the sun out on the deck.Pure pain. Pure soul destroying Hollywood pain.

George Parker "More Dogs Than Bones" is a comedy about some crooked cash which gets so doggone lost that no one can find it. Supposed to be a comedy, this dog stumbles clumsily along with a monotonous storyline punctuated with some comic relief which is so bad the only relief is when the film ends. How so many good actors could end up in such an awful film is beyond all reason. Pass on this puppy. (D+)
