HAPPILY, director Paul Suchecki has offset the poorly chosen script with a fine pair of actors. Ed Redlich's Murph swaggers and spits his lines with the air of someone who is not too bright but whose instinct will take care of him; he's like a chubby rodent that senses when to burrow and when to flee.

Bereft of such designs, I had difficulty relating to people who would want the beast yapping underfoot...
