Critic Reviews

Manohla Dargis

This is, after all, a film in which no one leads life according to script -- but, then, that's also the reason it works. Read full review

Lael Lowenstein

There's an infectious, spry quality to much of The Dogwalker, an indie that benefits from amusing characters, strong thesping and taut situational humor. Read full review

Chuck Wilson

A well-made but emotionally scattered film whose hero gives his heart only to the dog. Read full review

Pete Vonder Haar

A pleasant enough little film. Jerry isn’t what one would call a sympathetic figure, but you find yourself cheering for him anyway. Read full review

New Times (L.A.) Gregory Weinkauf

What do you get when you cross a passé "swinger" (Will Stewart), an exhausted "lost in L.A." setting, a sloppy "screenplay" and dull "direction" (by Paul Duran)? This! Read full review
