The extravagant cop Michael Dooley needs some help to fight a drug dealer who has tried to kill him. A "friend" gives him a dog named Jerry Lee, who has been trained to smell drugs. With his help, Dooley sets out to put his enemy behind the bars, but Jerry Lee has a personality of his own and works only when he wants to. On the other hand, the dog is quite good at destroying Dooley's car, house and sex-life...

---|---|---|---|
United States | Los Angeles Times | "It's enjoyable, thanks not only to its charismatic duo, but also to the skilled comedy direction of Rod Daniel" | POS |
United States | TV Guide | "The plot has lots of holes, but veteran TV director Rod Daniel keeps the proceedings light and lively, and Belushi does a fine job" | NEU |
United Kingdom | Empire | "This is actually better than it may sound, though rather less charming than it would like to, and needs to be." | NEU |
United States | USA Today | "Is this a comedy, action pic or sensitive Belushi-Harris romance? Director Rod Daniel never establishes a definitive tone" | NEG |
United States | Chicago Tribune | "Its moments of hilarity are due entirely to the dog, whose orchestrated growls and grimaces could start a whole new school of dog acting." | NEU |
United States | The New York Times | "With its surefire dog tricks and breezy pacing, K-9 is at least mildly diverting." | NEU |
