Boring Acting Real Kryptonite (B*A*R*K)

Dean Cain has truly gone to the dogs - far from being a super man he has been hit with a different kind of Kryptonite as in K-9, in this picture, he plays a canine version of a "horse-whisperer" and is the sole character in this tale who understands a mutt (whose voice is played by Jon Lovitz, which was redeeming in the sense it was typecasting and therefore not as annoying as usual) that inherits a fortune and Tim Curry is the villain who tries to seize the loot for himself.

Jennifer Tilly plays a role similar to what Valerie Perrine played in the first "Superman" movie with Christopher Reeve, the difference being that Valerie was a sultry ditzy vixen but Tilly played a simpering virago who pretends to be smart.

Filmed in Canada and using Canadian court practices, this tale uses tried and true methods of previous films that use kids & canines - emphasis on the tried to the point of trying, as in too damn hard on a worn out old vehicle.

The best way to watch this picture is if you have insomnia one night and need a natural tranquiliser, yawn!
