Shaggy D.A. [VHS]
In this sequel toThe Shaggy Dog, Wilby Daniels (Dean Jones) has  grown up and married Suzanne Pleshette, and has a young son. When the family  comes home to find the house cleaned out by "movers"--who Daniels knows  are protected by the corrupt District Attorney John Slade (Keenan Wynn)--he decides to run against Slade in the next election. Meanwhile, hoodlums  connected to the same crime syndicate get hold of the mystical ring that  turns poor Daniels (via mid-'70s special effects) into Elwood, the dog owned by the local ice-cream vendor (Tim Conway). Lots of chase scenes, a little  roller derby action, and some cherry pie throwing complicate both Daniels's bid  for office and his quest to remain a human being. Kids will enjoy the last  half of this 91-minute movie the most as Daniels spends most of the time in his dog persona and because his son becomes part of the plot to undo the bad  guys. This G-rated feature is safe for all ages, but kids probably won't sit  through it until age 4 or 5.--Kimberly Heinrichs
