I laughed heartily with the film, but I almost went cross-eyed trying to consider what the hell this script actually contained before Disney, five screenwriters, and two directors tore it apart.

Reviews for Turner & Hooch
...[the ending] feels out of place and out of synch with the rest of the movie.
The beginning of the end for Hanks as a comedian -- dig it for that, but don't be too kind.
Proof of the W.C. Fields adage that you should never work with animals or children.
