Movie Reviews of Bingo
Movie Review: Hilarious
Summary: 4 Stars
I liked the movie and thought it was hilarious. It had a lot of original gags in it. Although I agree with some of the reviewers about the profanity in the movie I would like to point out that it is no more than many other so-called kids' movies these days---which says a lot about the state of society today. If you were to remove the profanity, I think that most reviewers would give this a five star rating, it was that funny.Movie Review: What's The Aspect Ratio of The DVD?
Summary: 4 Stars
This is a cute movie about a boy and his dog and I recommend it to anyone who likes dog movies. Does anyone know what the aspect ratio is for this movie on the DVD? Is it widescreen or an edited pan and scan? I would hate to buy the DVD and find out it's just an edited pan and scan!Movie Review: Pretty decent movie.
Summary: 4 Stars
I don't care what people might say, but I love this film. I saw it many years ago on VHS. So for me it's nostalgia to see it again on DVD in better quality... There must be something special about films, which you have seen, been a child.Movie Review: Bingo
Summary: 4 Stars
A fun family film adapted from the children's song "Bingo" a dog that was owned by a man. Bingo's life starts out harsh in a circus but he gets a good home in the end. Young children will enjoy the silly humor.Movie Review: Not great, not bad. There are better animal flicks.
Summary: 3 Stars
If I had to categorize Bingo, it is definitely intended more as a pet comedy than as a pet adventure. In fact, some of the comedy is to the point of absurdity when people treat Bingo as a human. Regarding the focus, the film bounces back and forth between being exclusively about the dog or about the boy & his family.
Pretty standard plot devices: 1) Remarkable dog who is unwanted & unappreciated by adults. 2) An oddball family with a mean older brother, over-protective mother, and a preoccupied father who wants to toughen up his youngest son. 3) Typical inept villains - a stupid, mean one who thinks he's not stupid and an even stupider, dopey one who doesn't know any better. 4) The dog saves the day and eventually endears himself to everyone.
I bought this as a family film to watch with my 4yo son, but it is rated PG for good reason. Bingo is really not for younger children. Lots of unnecessary language - GD, s**t, da**it, smarta**, hell, and a couple lesser phrases that you may not want your young ones incorporating into their daily vocabulary - some shut-ups, stupids, jerks, nuts, and dumbs. What stuck out is that this was a family movie and the language seemed completely unnecessary. It sure didn't add anything.
A few disturbing scenes for young viewers - hot dogs made out of real dog, a couple scenes of children looking at adult magazines, a scene of a vehicle crashing into a storefront with people in a cage in back, a prostitute in a hotel room, a kidnapped family all tied up, heavy gunfire, knife fight, and so on.
Lots of uncouth humor - pee and poo gags, dog gender jokes, and the like. Funny to older children, but maybe not appropriate for younger ones.
Some good gags - traffic cop giving the dog a sobriety test, the dog driving a car, a court reporter reading back the dog's testimony, and evading search lights in a prison yard.
All in all, it's not a bad film, just not worth any special praise either. It's mediocre.
If you don't already own them, there are plenty of better dog adventures - Milo & Otis, Homeward Bound, Napoleon, Eight Below; as well as better dog comedies - live-action 101 Dalmatians, Babe, Air Bud, Beethoven, and so on.
Aspect ratio is standard, full-frame 1.33:1.
