This movie is simple, but the cat and dog are great. I do resent the fact that I can't take it over to DVD, considering it is out of print.

for corgi lovers the world over
this movie is delighful to watch over and over. I know every pet owner out there will enjoy seeing this.

Cute Movie, But......
If you are a fan of the Mrs. Murphy series by Rita Mae Brown and Sneaky Pie Brown, then this is a must have movie for you. It was very cute and enjoyable. However, I felt that the casting left a little bit to be desired. While Ricki Lake did a good job acting, she just didn't capture the essence of Harry. For one thing, she was too feminine. Harry would never be caught dead wearing a jumper to just hang around or go to work at the Post Office in. Ricki Lake just wasn't outdoorsy enough. Someone like Janine Turner from Northern Exposure would've been a better choice. And the actor that portrayed Fair Haristeen, Harry's ex husband, did a very lame job. He made Fair appear wimpy. The character of Olivia "Boom Boom" Craycroft was portrayed as a total airhead...which if you've read the books, you will know that is not the case. I did, however, think that Bruce McGill made a perfect Sheriff Rick Shaw and Edie McClurg was absolutely wonderful as Miranda Hogendobber. She portrayed Miranda exactly how I pictured her to be. Am I glad that I purchased the video to add to my Mrs. Murphy collection...Yes. But, I think that they could've done a much better job with it.

I love it when animals help solve mysteries!
I had seen this movie several years ago (and actually have all of Rita Mae and Sneaky Pie Brown's "Mrs. Murphy Mystery" books) and couldn't wait to get a copy of it for my movie collection. Now I only wish that more of the Mrs. Murphy Mysteries would be put on film too!

Fantastic movie for kids 6 and above !! The cat and dog are great!
Great movie for kids; the cat (Mrs. Murphy) and the dog are great. My 6 1/2 year old daughter loved it!!! Good Disney Fun!
