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.

Maybe the relatable uncle joke was too much. The movie tries to capture the old generations who watched this in cartoon show who are too older and can't watch a cheesy "Mary Sue" character and just made an adult version of it.

The movie was great and it never breaks anyone's attention on the movie, but if they have removed the "relatable uncle habits" maybe the movie would rise over the flop and would have redeemed the remake that they changed from the cartoon show.… Expand

Clifford the big red dog, not in space so better than star wars, should still have the rock in it, but I like dogs

Muy tierna y divertida, la trama es genérica y el villano lo es aún más típico de este tipo de películas, pero cumple con entretener sin ser pretenciosa y Clifford luce de maravilla.

So naturally there was some excitement on my part to see it getting a live-action adaptation after all these years. I figured the format of the cartoon would be difficult to translate into a standalone movie aimed at wider audience, so I was anticipating something entirely original. I must say though, I wasn't expecting anything this strange.

The film starts off normally enough with a young, out of place Emily Elizabeth learning the difficulties of owning a ginormous puppy, but quickly gets weird when the megalomaniacal owner of a genetics/biotechnology company wants to experiment on the supersized pooch to unlock the secret of creating giant food and ending the world's hunger crisis. Then there's the stuff going in with John Cleese as some kind of magical pet rescuer who goes around giving people preternatural animals that's honestly a bit creepy if you look too closely at it.

Odd though it may be, it at least gets the humor right. Admittedly most of the gags are of the "haha big doggy make big pee and drool" variety, but there are still plenty of less juvenile sources of laughter as well as some genuinely heartfelt moments between the young lead and her CGI canine costar. Truthfully the only thing that bothered me were a couple of jokes that teased adding some profanity to the mix. There's a point where a man is faced with a psychotically aggressive lamb (did I mention this was odd?) and yells "holy sheep," and another where a guy is about to tell someone who doubted him in the past to kiss a certain orifice of his on national television before promptly having the mic ripped away. Both of which are in poor taste for a property designed with children in mind.

However, the source material was always a bunch of cute, wholesome fun and for the most part this is too. It loses the educational element and the message about embracing being different falls by the wayside somewhere along the way. Yet, this will definitely entertain the kids while not proving too tortuous for older viewers provided they aren't too jaded, cynical, snobbish, or edgy.

You can see that Clifford is CGI, which is obvious for a big red dog. But that doesn't bother me. The behavior of him seems familiar to me. It is a nice family film, with a lot of humor for adults.

It is a nice family film, with a lot of humor for adults. There are many emotional moments and nice massages. The villain is cliché, but that doesn't bother me. Besides Clifford, I like Uncle Casey best, who provides many funny moments. I have never seen the books and the series, so I can't compare them. I would have liked to see more of Clifford doing typical "dog stuff" when he grew up. Overall, an entertaining movie for in between.
