Archie is a rich and utterly despicable practical joker. He is one week away from playing a CD-ROM that will change the lives of his trusted manager, Dexter, and other employees forever when he is suddenly involved in a deadly accident. He quickly discovers that instead of entering Heaven's pearly gates, he is being sent back to Earth to clean up the mess he created. Since he has an absolute dislike for animals, especially dogs, it is quickly decided that he should be returned to Earth as a dog and not just any dog, mind you, but a fluffy white Pomeranian named Quigley. Sweeney, an "observing" guardian angel, will accompany him. He is the only person who will actually see the real Archie. Everyone else sees Quigley. He's given two very different assignments. One is to retrieve the CD-ROM before it's played and the other is to help his brother, Woodward, and his family, whom he hasn't talked to in years. Quigley (a very confused Archie) has much to do and little time to do it.

Quigley (2003) Reviews
Honestly the single greatest piece of cinema ever.
So tonight my friends and I rented two amazing movies both starring the sensational Gary Busey, this movie and the wonderful Gingerdead Man and I just have to say this movie is not only hilarious, but beautiful as well. You really knew where the characters were coming from and could relate. I mean, when haven't any of us been in a situation like this. The movie was terrificly written, each line added a new twist to the film. Don't even get me started on the special effects...alright, i will get started. The only word that comes to mind is astounding. I've seen a lot of family movies in my life, but this one just takes the cake. I also really appreciated the underlying biblical references, although i thought they could have been more subtle. The ending was also great and I definitely hope they will do the right thing and make at least one sequel. This is up there not only as one of my favorite Gary Busey movies (Along with Point Break, Rookie of the Year, and of course, The Gingerdead Man), but one of my favorite movies ever. This movie touched my heart and I know if you watch it, it will change your life like it did mind. After watching this, i will never look at the world the same way again.
Poor quality film-making
While the dog was cute, the film was not. It wasn't the premise, or the theme that was a problem. The premise had great possibilities for humor and pathos both. The theme is a worthy one. Helping other people is more important than amassing a fortune. Sadly, the adorable dog, the unique premise, and the theme were undercut by poor acting, stilted dialogue, and amateurish filming. Even my youngest child who will sit through almost anything gave up before we had gotten halfway through. How many times can that dog run up and down the same hallway? I can't spoil it for you, as I never saw the end. It just was not worth watching all the way to the end.
One of the corniest movies that you will ever see
If you ever plan on renting (hopefully not buying) this movie, think again. It was as if Gary Busey had a gun to his head and was forced to act or die. I only wonder if Busey was arrested for something and was sentenced to play in this movie because I just don't see the guy that acted so much better with Keanu Reeves in Point Break play in this disaster. It was a feel-good movie, but there are thousands of other feel-good movies that make you laugh without wanting you to get your money back. The only reason I would ever tell someone to rent this movie is to watch this movie is to see Gary Busey jump up and down like a monkey. If you want a good funny movie, pass up Quigley and go rent Spongebob or something.
Terrible movie, never watch it.
This is a really bad waste of your time. I would probably rather go watch some documentary than this; it's really that bad. The acting is really terrible, and you can tell that the producers had a low budget because of the terrible picture quality. It's by far on the low end of the scale; don't waste your money on it. I have a really hard time believing the person who made this movie that it would fare well. I had to watch it with the kids when my mother rented it because she thought it would be good for the kids. Even the kids (3, 4, 6, and 8) all thought it was pretty boring. I agree with the other commenter, Spongebob would be a lot better to watch than this. Overall: Just don't watch it. Don't. Don't.
Very cute and funny.
Very seldom do I or my family go to the movies but we do rent a lot of movies once they are released to the general public. This movie will never be one of the all time greats. However, it is well done and very cute. I would have never thought of Gary Busey in this move, but the character he plays fits right in with the villain type roles he is usually in. I think the entire point of this move is "you reap what you sow." In that regard it promotes good moral values and enforces the saying "do unto others what you would have them do unto you." My wife and I, as well as two of our grandchildren enjoyed this movie and didn't feel it was a waste of money to rent it.
