HOMEWARD BOUND II: LOST IN SAN FRANCISCO (1996) *1/2 Everyone knows that I love talking dog movies, just watching the dogs walk-it's amazing! That joy is, however, seriously mitigated when the dogs talk like Sally Field, Carla Gugino or...especially if they sound like Michael J. Fox! Michael J. Fox is the dumbest-sounding dog that I've ever heard of! Not that they're ruining a totally brilliant film or anything, not that they really ruin it all that much, just that dogs should sound waaaaay cooler than this! And they're lost in...San Francisco...um, do they get turned on in The Haight? Ah, well, no..... Become politically militant in Berkeley or marginalized in the opera house? No, well....seek refuge with one of those medicinal marijuana merchants or.....no, no, no! They have a fairly boring run through San Francisco, actually, though they do run into a cool dog (voice of Sinbad) who looks like my dog. But there are talking dogs, their antics are silly enough to make at least small children happy, and you have to guess that there's going to be a happy ending. I mean, there is, right?
