July 15, 2007It was a bit lame at some parts, but not a bad movie over-all. You'd probably enjoy it a load more if you're an insane dog-lover (like myself). They did a good job with matching the dog breeds with their proper dispositions. xD

A simple but perfectly satisfying little story about a boy who wants to keep his dog. Full Review

Claudia Puig, USA Today
No new ground is dug up in Good Boy, but the story is well-paced, sweet and lively, filling a void for very young filmgoers. Full Review

Gene Seymour, Newsday
You wish Good Boy! aspired to a less formulaic cleverness and sentimentality than shown here. Full Review
