Описание:
  В самом начале по телевидению показывают девушку Лианну из Колибри Фоллз, привязавшую себя на целый год к секвойе, которую хотели срубить со всем остальным лесом. Она благодарит всех, а особенно умственно отсталого ребенка, который прислал ей стихи. Только что проснувшийся стихотворец по имени Марвин отнюдь не ребенок, но радуется этому факту. Он работает учетчиком вещественных доказательств в полиции, но мечтает сдать нормативы и стать настоящим полицейским. Дети, пришедшие на экскурсию, узнав, что он не "коп", устроили в помещении настоящий погром. А Марвин такой добрый и безобидный парень, но хронический неудачник. Про себя он клянется покойному отцу-полицейскому, что обязательно станет настоящим копом, но большинство смеется над ним. Нормативы он не смог сдать в очередной раз. В баре он заходит в туалет и натыкается на симпатичную девушку, в которой узнает Лианну, которая боролась за спасение секвойи. В женский туалет была большая очередь, и она зашла в мужской, чем привела Марвина в состояние невменяемости. Когда все ушли на бейсбол и оставили Марвина одного, раздался звонок с призывом о помощи - вооруженное ограбление. И вот тогда-то Марвин сам помчался на вызов. Когда он ехал по шоссе, то отчетливо увидел на дороге морского котика, в результате чего сорвался с горы и почти отдал богу душу. Смутно он помнил каких-то животных, людей в медицинских халатах, а потом его кто-то подвез домой. И тут стали происходить с ним странные вещи: соседская собака, постоянно на него нападавшая, вдруг его испугалась. Когда он вышел из душа, на спине были огромные операционные шрамы и шерсть на заднице. Отряхнулся он при этом, как собака. На работе он узнает, что на работе его не было 8 дней. Бегать он стал со скоростью скаковой лошади. Франкенштейн собрал свое существо из частей трупов, а Марвину ученый, экспериментирующий с пересадкой органов животных, пересадил органы разных зверюшек, чем и сохранил ему жизнь. Да, он подарил ему жизнь, но вместе с этим и множество инстинктов, которые проявляются в самые неожиданные моменты. Самые невинные из них этоигры с собачками Лианны, ловля палочки и тарелки. У него появился редкий нюх, который помог, например, учуять наркотики в трусах курьера в аэропорту. Собственно говоря, на этом и построен сюжет этой семейной комедии. Марвин еще познакомится со своим спасителем, будут еще встречи и с Лианной и много других приключений. Юмор часто граничит на уровне животного, но эта развлекательная комедия и не претендует на что-либо большее.
    (Иванов М.)

  Какие только странные пути порой не ведут к исполнению желаний! Простак Марвин всю жизнь мечтал стать крутым полицейским. Но тщетно. Не было счастья, да несчастье помогло: попав в автокатастрофу, герой был спасен от смерти слегка чокнутым доктором Уайлдером. Вышедшие из строя внутренние органы Марвина тот заменил на органы разных животных, благодаря чему его пациент не только выздоровел, но и обрел таланты своих доноров. Используя новые возможности, герой наконец становится настоящим суперкопом, но... Вместе с отличными рефлексами, силой и выносливостью Марвин получил от зверей и их дремучие инстинкты, внезапно и всегда не вовремя пробуждающиеся!

Plot:
  From the producers of the comedy smash Deuce Bigalow comes The Animal, about a small, wimpy Marvin, who doesn't have what it takes to fulfill his lifelong dream to be a cop. But his luck changes when he's critically injured in a car accident and a deranged scientist secretly uses animal organs to rebuild him. Energized by his new parts, Marvin leaves his weakness behind and achieves instant fame as a supercop. Now a hero, life is going great for Marvin until his animal instincts start taking over his body at all the wrong times. Marvin struggles to remain civilized and be a perfect gentleman with his new love, Rianna in a series of hilarious situations that would drive any animal crazy.
    Summary written by Dean Kish, Comingsoon.net
  You expect cheap gags from a Rob Schneider movie, and The Animal delivers in the best possible way. Schneider plays Marvin Mange, a schlub of a police file clerk who drives off a cliff and is horribly mangled--only to wake up not only whole, but feeling better than he ever has in his life. He suddenly develops strange powers that lead to him being praised as a super cop. Unfortunately, his powers are the result of a scientist's bizarre experiment--and before long, some side effects start to take over his life. It's hard to put a finger on Schneider's appeal, but he's got something. He can get away with tasteless jokes about bestiality and bodily functions because... well... he's sort of helplessly sympathetic, and somehow this actually makes him funny.
