Review of Ping!

Ping! (2000)
6/10
the Dog Version of Home Alone
27 November 2019
Warning: Spoilers
As a Dog Lover, I watch a couple of Dog Movies such as "Homeward Bound: The Incredible Journey", "Air Bud", "Lady and the Tramp", "101 Dalmatians", "Cujo", "Beethoven", "Lassie" (1994), "Old Yeller", "Bingo" (1991) and many other dog movies to choose from but this obscure family movie with the dog is really silly in away. the plot follows a Chihuahua who gets captured by the Dog Catcher (played by the Incredible Hulk's Lou Ferrigno) and gets adapted by Ethel Jeffries who gets mistaken for a cat despite her being nearsighted as Mr. Magoo and makes it a gift to her book-loving granddaughter who refuses to have a pet ever since her parents passed away, there are even a few other characters including Lucretia a goth girl who is Haley's babysitter, Drac Lucretia's goth boyfriend but soon breaks up with him at the end, and two Bumbling Burglars played by Clint Howard and Judge Reinhold who are like Marv and Harry from Home Alone 1 & 2 in which they plan on robbing the Jeffries' Fortune. the whole plot to this family film is like the Dog Version of "Home Alone" and even "Babe" but without the animals mouths moving along with "Homeward Bound: The Incredible Journey" and "Rusty: a Dog's Tale" even some pop culture references from "Looney Tunes" and "The Jetsons" which is kinda awkward to see in a family movie that you don't see on the Disney Channel, overall "Ping!" is yet one of those obscure family films you would want to watch every weekend night and one film that's kinda silly with some slapstick and a few fart jokes that you don't see in family movie and so I recommend this if your a Dog Lover!
