- Synopsis
- Marvin Mange (Rob Schneider) has only one dream in life: to become a police officer, like his father. Unfortunately, Marvin's natural clumsiness and lack of self-esteem have made him the laughing stock of his police coworkers. All of that changes after a freak car accident, and a mad scientist's intervention. When Marvin regains consciousness, he can run faster, jump higher, and smell things no ordinary human should be able to smell, allowing him to perform as a top-notch cop. But Marvin's rival on the police force (John C. McGinley) is out to get him. What's worse, Marvin soon learns that he cannot handle his animal urges. Colleen Haskell from the television show SURVIVOR makes her film debut, and Schneider delivers a terrific performance in a perfect comic role. THE ANIMAL is a hilarious collection of gags and bizarre sights (including Marvin's amorous encounter with a goat) that add up to make this silly, warmhearted comedy.

- Critics' reviews
-
-
"An outrageous and imaginative summer comedy."
-
"Hardly a comic masterpiece -- the jokes are awfully broad and obvious -- but I couldn't help feeling relieved at the film's absence of malice."
-
"The Animal is never more nor less than stupid, but stupid in ways that deliver goofiness rather than rampant humiliation."
-
"While a good deal funnier than ''Deuce Bigelow,'' is still destined to get branded, if not condemned, as ''dum'.''
-
"A silly, stupid story with a one-joke comic premise."
