Clifford the Big Red Dog Reviews

The last Clifford film, Clifford’s Really Big Movie, wasn’t great, but it at least understood the source material it was adapting itself from and respected Norman Bridwell’s legacy. The new Clifford movie does not do any of that.

| Original Score: D | Mar 5, 2024

Besides being expectedly childish, incredibly formulaic, and exaggerated in every possible way, the characters and the main narrative are far from looking, sounding, and being authentic.

| Original Score: C- | Jul 25, 2023

A genuinely lovely and endearing re-entry into the Clifford universe, wherein once again we learn what it might be like to own a small puppy that inexplicably grows up to become a 4-metre-high pooch.

| Original Score: 3/5 | Mar 18, 2022

Watching as an adult, Clifford the Big, Red Dog is sweet, cute, mildly humorous and a bit of innocent fun.

| Original Score: 3/5 | Feb 9, 2022

It feels like one of those live-action Disney features that were so prevalent during the 1970s -- one could easily picture Jodie Foster as the prepubescent heroine, Dean Jones as her bumbling uncle, and Don Knotts as the supremely self-satisfied villain.

| Original Score: 2.5/4 | Feb 4, 2022

All up, it's a spirited and unpretentious film with some engagingly eccentric bits, the best of which involve Izaac Wang.

| Original Score: 3/5 | Jan 6, 2022

Clifford the Big Red Dog is a scrappy delight. It may not have a lot on its mind and it stumbles all over the place but it delights in where it counts and its basic charms are almost irresistible.

| Original Score: 3/5 | Jan 1, 2022

Proficiently directed, the film moves quickly and has the usual messaging about being tolerant and the importance of - here it comes, folks - being yourself. Is there a law stipulating this theme as mandatory for any film with children in its target demo?

| Original Score: 3/5 | Dec 30, 2021

It's a live-action world, though Clifford is a computer-animated dog, which fills the whole enterprise with unfortunate echoes of the "Tom & Jerry" movie from earlier this year.

| Dec 28, 2021

Less visually inventive than a film about a kaiju-sized canine ought to have been, and saddled with a mechanically delivered theme about embracing difference.

| Dec 25, 2021

Here's the thing. The cast sells the tail off this thing, making normally unfunny setups come off fresher than one would have expected.

| Original Score: B | Dec 20, 2021

The one saving grace though is, unlike the 온라인카지노추천 series, at least they decided here that Clifford shouldn't talk.

| Original Score: 2.5/5 | Dec 17, 2021

A very attractive offering for kids. [Full review in Spanish]

| Original Score: 3/5 | Dec 16, 2021

The lack of pretension is precisely what makes this movie one of the most entertaining movies of recent years and the ideal vessel to bring life to this saga. [Full review in Spanish]

| Original Score: 7/10 | Dec 15, 2021

Pet-loving tots should lap up this big-hearted adventure based on Norman Bridwell's children's books.

| Original Score: 3/5 | Dec 14, 2021

Some children's books don't translate well to the big screen. This movie is one of those.

| Original Score: 4/10 | Dec 13, 2021

If you've watched a few kids' films about children gaining wondrous new friends, you'll find this one blandly unsurprising.

| Original Score: 2/5 | Dec 12, 2021

The film is best when it sticks to children's caper mode, jostled along by gentle toilet humour, bad-tempered barnyard animals and a scene of two kids driving a van across Manhattan.

| Original Score: 3/5 | Dec 12, 2021

After watching Clifford, there is no way you will feel blue.

| Original Score: 3/5 | Dec 10, 2021

A film so muddled in its storytelling and so specious in its message-making that its very existence is almost nauseating.

| Original Score: 1/5 | Dec 10, 2021
