REVIEWS

Review by Stephen J.Beecroft (posted on 13-Aug-2005)

I know a lot of people thought this movie was humorous. Others thought it was just a blatant parade of Paramount stars. But when I first saw this movie I fell in love with Won Ton Ton. I know it was a skit on Rin Tin Tin but this elderly man, a cynical professional writer, cried when Won won the Oscar, cried when he was rejected and cried even more when he was found and taken home into the sunset. I would love to know what happened to the dog who starred in this movie.

Review by Sean (posted on 12-Feb-2005)

I give this movie four stars. The main reason being that it allowed me to be able to imagine loving my own dog and training him to be special.

I remember my stepfather's expression when I told him I wanted a dog, and to call it Won Ton Ton. To be honest I can't remember one thing about the film, except perhaps half a scene where there is a train in it.

If anyone can tell me where to get a copy of this film I would really appreciate it, it must have touched my heart to remember it fondly for so long. Maybe Mr. Travolta was wrong in Swordfish, maybe Hollywood dosen't just make...

Now, Swordfish is another film altogether. If anyone would like to hear how I took that apart please e-mail me too.
