I’m interviewing exciting people from Idaho and around the world! My family loves the “Dog Man” series and now Dreamworks Animation is bringing the popular book to the big screen! When a faithful police dog and his human police officer owner are injured together on the job,

"Dog Man," the latest from "Captain Underpants" creator Dav Pilkey, hits theaters Friday and will delight young fans.

Creator Dav Pilkey's quirky, kinetic world has nicely made the visual leap to the big screen, but something is missing. The Hollywoodization — like a ray blasted from a typical Pilkey lumbering robot — has leveled-out the idiosyncrasy and overstuffed the narrative. Newcomers may be stunned — and not in a good way.

The film aims for its Pixar moment when Petey makes a clone of himself, and winds up with an adorable kitten named L’il Petey who’s as sweet as his father is evil. While L’il Petey is the only character in this whole enterprise with a whisker’s worth of emotional depth, Dog Man the movie can’t sniff out a way to make something out of the dynamic.

Hastings and team maintain the childlike illustration style of the books, with crayon lines and shading on the somewhat simply designed characters, and the colloquial, slangy writing (the law enforcement officers are “supa cops”; various important buildings are “ova there”).

A police officer and a dog get fused into one crime-fighter in this antic, enjoyable adaptation of Dav Pilkey’s comic series.

One month after his split from pregnant Megan Fox was revealed, Machine Gun Kelly debuted a dramatic new hair transformation, which featured a dirty blond man bun and thick matching beard. Suits alum Gabriel Macht shared he and wife Jacinda Barrett, as well as their kids Satine and Luca, have relocated out of the United States.

The Jack Quaid horror movie Companion and the DreamWorks animated feature Dog Man open on the same weekend, but which could debut at No. 1?

The 'SNL' alum voices a villainous cat in DreamWorks' animated adaptation of Dav Pilkey's best-selling series of children's graphic novels about a half-human, half-canine police officer.
