The filmmakers have leapt over franchise concerns to somehow deliver a movie that engages kids and entertainingly puzzles adults. Read full review

It’s not reinventing the wheel or breaking new ground; it’s unlikely to wow audiences with its bold artistic vision or profound emotional depths. But there’s a place for sturdy and familiar entertainment that delivers exactly what it intends, and Clifford the Big Red Dog is just that. Read full review

Yes, some of it looks cheaply made and a few too many of the jokes will thud for parents and children, but it’s such a big-hearted film in every scene. Read full review

Clifford the Big Red Dog is a sweet if shallow kids offering that sometimes soars higher than expected. Read full review

Sure, maybe Clifford doesn’t take the cinematic art form to a new level. All the same, it’s funny and sweet. This old dog may not have many new tricks, but sometimes being a good boy will do. Read full review

Clifford the Big Red Dog is simple, sometimes silly little nothing of a kids’ movie, lightweight and harmless and of no great consequence whatsover. But it’s got sight gags and giant dog slobber jokes, giant dog farts and giant dog weeing-on-trees humor. So the littlest viewers, for whom it is intended, will find a laugh here and there.

Watching this vaguely preternatural, shoddily animated interpretation of a beloved character parade around really makes you feel the disconnect between page and screen. Read full review

This movie was absolutely terrific. The one-liners just kept on coming, and they were hilarious Yes it was hokey and fantastical, but I'm surprised that seemed to bother so many reviewers.

The one-liners just kept on coming, and they were hilarious Yes it was hokey and fantastical, but I'm surprised that seemed to bother so many reviewers. I guess they're just too jaded to know a positive message and uplifting entertaining even when it hits them in the face. Perhaps I was a tabula rosa because I never had any contact with prior versions of Clifford, and maybe that's why I was so moved by this movie. It was delightful, an unexpected treat. A movie for the young at heart.… Expand

This is a very entertaining movie. Clifford is just so cute especially when he's with Emily-Elizabeth. I actually enjoyed this movie so much I think it brought me back to when I was watching young-kid-friendly television shows and all that stuff.

Set in the same CGI-hybrid adaptation cinematic universe as Alvin and the Chipmunks and Tom & Jerry, this should amuse kids and at least keep adults from falling asleep.

The movie is very, very bad in a pretty watchable way. It's got a surprisingly stacked cast, even if none of them are trying too hard. If nothing else, tune in for the worst attempt at an American accent ever committed to the silver screen.

I don't know if the decision to have Jack Whitehall do an American accent was intended to torture the audience or Whitehall himself. Whatever the case, it was impressively cruel.… Expand
