Hooch (Turner & Hooch - 1989)

Imagine being a neat freak detective and suddenly sharing your home with a massive, drooling wrecking ball. That's the nightmare Scott Turner walked into when Hooch showed up. But underneath the slobber and destruction was a dog with courage, instincts, and a surprising ability to win over even the most stubborn human. Turner & Hooch gave audiences one of the great mismatched partnerships in movie comedy. Hooch wasn't polished, obedient, or particularly interested in house rules. He was pure personality. Beethoven might own the family-comedy lane, but Hooch has a buddy-cop edge that makes him a serious challenger. The real question: how much destruction are you willing to forgive when the dog has that much heart?
