Yes, Cold Dog Soup is one of those movies which makes you step back and take a look at yourself in a new light. As odd as movie as it may sound- I mean, what other movies can you see about a guy trying to sell a dead dog?- the movie carries a powerful message about respecting dead dogs, one that just can't be ignored in this day and age. So, check out Cold Dog Soup. It's the best dead dog movie you'll see this year.

I saw it years ago... Loved it then, and haven't been able to find it since. Was surprised to see it on IMBD & Amazon both, but wasn't a bit surprised to see it wasn't available.

If you get a chance to see this movie, DEFINITELY watch it. You will be in the small crowd of about 20 people who can then verify it's just not a weird dream the other 19 had.

Seriously...People look at you like you are nuts if you try to explain the movie to them, and they usually will deny it even exists.

I just noticed I really didn't talk about the movie: it needs to be seen to be believed. It is, however, very good, and quite funny.

Happened across this movie late one night; it was a twisted funny ride. Randy Quaid plays a cab driver that takes a young man on an all night journey to sell a dead dog. Each stop they make is more twisted and hilarious than the last. At the start of the night the young man just wants to spend the evening with a new female acquaintance; only to end up having to get rid of the family dog in the middle of a city late at night. Quaid happens along and leads this movie directly into comedy history. Great ride.

Caught this late night on IFC. Pleasant surprise... lot of fun to watch and Randy Quaid was really good. The humor keeps you drawn, and i spent the next three weeks waiting for the pressure cooker. You could certainly watch a lot worse.

I saw this movie probably a year or two after its release (channel surfing on Dish Network). I wasn't surprised to see Frank Whaley, an under-appreciated B movie regular, but when Randy Quaid showed up as an illegal taxi, I knew nothing would be normal. If you're seriously into a predictable plot or a story line which follows some logical progression, forget it. With every stop of his taxi, you're hoping to see some resolution, but it never happens. What you remember is all the craziness. I don't even remember how it ended, but I remember it was one of the neatest flicks I've seen in a while. When I saw it on Amazon, I ordered it so quickly I didn't realize it was a VHS! I'll figure out a way to convert it, or something - it's well worth the trouble. To use a quote from Nationl Lampoon's Radio Comedy Half-hour: Once you've seen it, you'll never be able to say you didn't."

Up at 2:30 a.m. I happened to find this movie on Directv. If you like silly shows you'll get a kick out of it. I laughed pretty hard at the ridiculous scenarios. I love Randy Quaid too.

Randy Quaid always adds a certain essence to the movies he's in; a bit of odd-ball humor. Since he's one of the main characters in this one, the movie is definitely altered by his presence. It's a little 'dark' and a little unsettling - or at least would be if it were happening to you! (How could it be otherwise when you're trying to sell a dead dog?). But nonetheless, always humorous and entertaining.

Great off-beat comedy about a boy and his dog. Randy Quade is his usual strange self as a taxi driver willing to go the extra mile for his riders...Try the soup next time you eat out...

I'm a big fan of the book and wanted to see how someone translated it to film. The movie is just okay, but DEFINITELY read the book.Cold Dog Soup
