Overview
The extravagant cop Michael Dooley needs some help to fight a drug dealer who has tried to kill him. A "friend" gives him a dog named Jerry Lee (Officer Lewis), who has been trained to smell drugs. With his help, Dooley sets out to put his enemy behind the bars, but Jerry Lee has a personality of his own and works only when he wants to. On the other hand, the dog is quite good at destroying Dooley's car, house and sex-life...
MovieMagicScore Overview
Auto-generatedDirected by Rod Daniel, this 1989 action-comedy-crime film teams a brash, unconventional cop with a strong-willed police dog as he sets out to bring down the drug dealer who tried to kill him. The canine partner is a skilled narcotics sniffer but a handful off duty, wreaking havoc on his handler's car, home, and love life. The result is a buddy-movie romp that balances crime-fighting stakes with broad, family-friendly slapstick. Its tone is light and good-natured. With a MagicMovieScore of 6.2, it appeals to viewers who enjoy breezy odd-couple cop comedies powered by a mismatched human-and-dog partnership.
