There was a man who had a dog, and Bingo was his name-o. This particular Bingo escapes from a cruel master in a circus and is adopted by a little boy, who is the son of a professional football place-kicker (David Rasche). The father happens to be allergic to dogs, so the boy keeps him hidden from the rest of the family. When Dad is traded from the Denver Broncos to the Green Bay Packers, the family unknowingly leaves Bingo behind. The mock-heroic dog (who is smarter than most of the family members) must track the family across several states and time zones before he's reunited with his trusting young master. A spoof of movies about dogs with amazing powers, this one is often slim pickings. The humor, which tends toward slapstick, is strictly hit-and-miss. This broad comedy will undoubtedly amuse the under-10 set, with its numerous potty and dog-poop jokes. --Marshall Fine

 A piece of childhood . . . June 30, 2009
Eric S. Kim (Southern California)
I've seen this family film many times when I was a kid. Now, it has become a reminder of my childhood. Unfortunately, it isn't as great as the other films that I've watched when I was a kid (like The Land Before Time & Flight of the Navigator). It's very average for an animal flick. But it still has likeable characters, a well-written script, and some nice humor. "Bingo" can still enjoyable for families from all acround the country, but you are warned. There are indeed some fairly dark and intense scenes in some parts, so the little kids might be a bit frightened.

 Bad Bingo May 14, 2009

Don't bother! The young boy says "Holy S***" and the dad says "d***" within the first 20 minutes alone! Besides the language, the concept of centerfolds and scantily clad circus performers appear for no reason at all. The parents of this boy are horrendous. There were no redeeming qualities to this movie. I recycled ours (couldn't even bring myself to subject anyone at Goodwill to own it!). If you think I'm just being overprotective, then skip it simply for the extremely bad acting. No matter how you look at it, it is bad Bingo!

I don't even know where to begin. This movie is nothing -- and I mean nothing -- you'd want your kids to watch, no matter how old they are.
Kids and adults in this movie swear, flip the bird and insult each other. The entire "joke" of a family that would wait out a night before looking for their lost child gave my son nightmares, and he's 10 years old. The flashback to a fire that killed the dog's mother frightened him and the dark plot that centers around an eatery that turns dogs into dogmeat utterly horrified both of us. We turned the movie off after 15 minutes and threw it away. I wouldn't regift this DVD to my worst enemy.
 The Movie "Bingo" September 22, 2008

I would have preferred the language remain G in this film. I believe young children learn enough bad language out of the home, that it didn't need to be included in this movie.

This movie will only be appreciated by the youngest of crowds...so WHY ALL THE BAD LANGUAGE? It's touted as a "Family" film..what family would want to sit around watching little kids cuss and give each other the finger?
Maybe it's for an older audience? Ummm...no. The dog drives a car, has a one night stand, testifies in court, gets a nasal membrane transplant (b/c his smeller has worked too hard), administers CPR...Need I go on? Oh...and he spends much of the movie tracking down his human friend who has left him a URINE trail to follow. No wonder his smeller needs to be replaced.
