Much better than your average cop-and-dog movie (such as K-9), Turner and Hooch is really a love story about a control freak (Tom Hanks) who gradually resigns to the messy chaos of a sweet hulk of a pooch named Hooch. The excuse for this relationship is that the dog can identify a murderer and Hanks needs him, but the film is really about such hilarious moments as Hanks bathing Hooch with a long brush, and a wild chase through the streets when the sharp-eyed mutt spots his suspect. Layered over this is a healthy love story between Hanks and animal vet Mare Winningham, who share a terribly sexy scene together--while fully clothed--doing no more than making breakfast. (Hanks directed this scene, though Roger Spottiswoode directed the rest of the movie.) --Tom Keogh

Fujishima Kyousuke's Oh My Goddess is--as both animated film and the Manga comic book original--one of the most cutely romantic things in Japanese popular culture. In this first volume, the lonely student Morisato, desperate to get some takeaway food, finds himself connected to the Goddess Hotline and is visited by the angelically beautiful Belldandy, who offers him a wish. Assuming this to be a joke by his fellow students, he wishes that she stay with him forever. In the event, their relationship is tender and most of the comedy derives from brief intermissions when true love fails to run smooth, partly because of visits from her highly sexualised sister Urd and petulant baby sister Skuld. There is an odd picture here of Japanese student life--highly authoritarian dormitories and a playboy culture in which the motorcycle mechanic Morisato is constantly exploited by affluent biker chums--but there is an underlying sweet-naturedness to the three episodes here "Moonlight and Cherry Blossoms", "Midsummer Night's Dream" and "Burning Hearts on the Road" that is remarkably attractive in its sugary way. --Roz Kaveney
