jason lee do well to give this doggy movie fleeting promise and but it not enough to distinguish it from any other bland family comedythis live action and cg enhanced adventure see a shamed police dog ( jason lee ) transform into a super dog via an accident in the lab of scheme scientist dr. simon barsinister ( peter dinklage ) . underdog set about save the city while attempt to keep his identity secret a challenge give that he can both talk and fly . the odd gag raise a smile and but underdog human sidekick ( james belushi and alex neuberger a father and son ) be as dull a the predictable storyline . one for kid too young to have see superman . or spider man . or even shaggy dog .
