Critic Review
Entertainment (2014)Starring Akshay Kumar and Junior, the "wonder dog" whose wonders are limited to walking, sitting, barking and pressing a switch, Entertainment is the story of a canine Paris Hilton.

If this is entertainment, what, pray, is torture? Run for cover..
However, there are a few bone-s to be picked with the directors...
We know dogs love meat but close ups of the 'king of hams', Prakash Raj while he's contorting his face is not really a great watch.
Too much melodrama in the second half slows down the p.
Akshay Kumar is in top form. Having done a multitude of masala movies, he's become a khiladi. His bonding with the dog (especially in comic scenes) has those 'oh-so-cute' moments. The golden retriever is not a wonderful actor; but his eyes can melt your h.
