Foul Play (1978)
A shy San Francisco librarian and a bumbling cop fall in love as they solve a crime involving albinos, dwarves, and the Catholic Church.
From memory: Likable, but messy Hitchcock spoof with lots of hit or miss humor, mainly watchable for its star cast.
Halliwell*: "Sometimes sprightly, sometimes tired rehash of Hitchcock elements, rather on the level of the similar Silver Streak."
Maltin**!/2: "Likable stars, good fun, but protracted story, tasteless comedy, and Hitchcock plagiarism detract."

Oh Heavenly Dog (1980)
A murdered detective must avenge his murder after he is reincarnated as a dog.
From memory: Mediocre comedy with quite a lack of taste: the dog steals the show.
Halliwell (no star): "Witless fantasy comedy, an uncredited remake of You Never Can Tell which also rates as a Benji movie with curious additions of sex and profanity. A total muddle."
Maltin**1/2: "Benji (in his third film) is as adorable as ever as Chase's alter ego."
