If you loved The Shaggy Dog, try Ready to Rumble
A bridge between a film you've already seen and one most people haven't. Ready to Rumble has roughly 3.5× fewer votes than The Shaggy Dog — it's a deeper cut, not a mainstream recommendation. Here's what they share, and what the second one does that the first one doesn't.
What they share
Both films are directed by Brian Robbins, and they both carry the playful mood tag, and they sit in Comedy territory. If that's the register that drew you to The Shaggy Dog, the second film will land in a comparable space — through a different lens.
What Ready to Rumble is
A film that understands the appeal of professional wrestling lies in its lack of realism. Two garbage men embark on a quest to get their hero reinstated after he's double-crossed. It may not be a clean pin, but it's a victory for the comedy genre.
