Bovie Movie

This film tells the tale of the Harper Affair, in which young Jimmy Harper finds his life of promise turn into a life of debauchery and murder thanks to the new drug menace marijuana. Along the way he receives help from his girlfriend Mary and Jesus himself, but always finds himself in the arms of the Reefer Man and the rest of the denizens of the Reefer Den.

This daft comedy tells the tale of an FBI supermutt who teams up with a postman to thwart an attempt by the Mob on the dog’s life. Toss into the mix a cute kid, two half-baked Italian-American hitmen, some boring sequences and third-rate scatological humour, and you have the recipe for a dog’s dinner. Yet David Arquette gives an enthusiastic performance as the postman, and there are some nice, relatively straight-faced support performances from Paul Sorvino, Joe Analyze That Viterelli and Michael Clarke Duncan (the man-mountain from The Green Mile). Two parts Home Alone to one part Turner and Hooch, this may not have the best pedigree, but children won’t be disappointed.
