The Shaggy Dog


A hard-working family man is finding that his career is distancing him from his family. He is bitten by a mysterious sheep dog, alleged to be 300 years old, and soon starts acting like a dog himself, before doing a complete makeover and becoming a sheepdog. While this makes life at the office difficult, it does allow him to gain some insights into his own family. At the time of writing, this Disney remake came in at number 70 on the IMDB's list of 100 worst movies.
