The combination of the big heart in the story and the always strong work by Harden makes this a solid family film.

...never quite decides if it wants viewers to be inspired, angry, or both.

| Original Score: 2/5 | Oct 8, 2022

Hamm and Hudgins utilize the final 20 minutes quite well by tossing in two thoroughly unpredictable twists. “Gigi & Nate” won’t change the world, but it will give (most of) you the warm and fuzzies. Sometimes that’s all you need to take away from a movie.

| Original Score: 3.5/5 | Oct 4, 2022

Monkey cuteness faces limitations, and filmmakers could easily eliminate much of the story’s attention to things like plane flights. Though aiming for a message of hope, the film often wallows in mundane detail, slowing its pace and softening its goal.

While it’s modestly heartwarming, “Gigi & Nate” is a well-meaning tale undone by a bland style and warmed-over dialogue.

| Original Score: 2/5 | Sep 10, 2022

The courtroom drama completely undoes the whole thing. It's just completely contrived.

| Sep 9, 2022

The first half is decent until the film ends up with a storytelling monkey on its back that it simply can't shake.

| Original Score: 5/10 | Sep 8, 2022

If the adorable capuchin monkey in Gigi & Nate could speak a human language, she would say, 'Get me out of this embarrassing movie.' The monkey is the best thing about this overly sappy, tedious, and predictable melodrama.

If you're a fan of Hallmark films, you've found your film.

| Original Score: C+ | Sep 8, 2022

While director Nick Hamm deserves credit for making a movie about the issues surrounding the use of service animals, Gigi & Nate is both worthy of celebration and thoroughly unmemorable.

| Original Score: 2/4 | Sep 7, 2022

It has a pleasant but not particularly striking look; endearing performances from a familiar cast of esteemed veterans and earnest newcomers, and a storyline designed to provide a few initial chuckles.

| Original Score: 3/4 | Sep 2, 2022

Any inspiration or uplift in this true-life tribute to the bond between humans and their service animals is compromised by heavy-handed sentimentality.

| Sep 2, 2022

Gigi & Nate has admirable traits but strays into sappy melodrama with a contrived third act. A poorly written antagonist derails the narrative with heartless and overblown machinations.

| Original Score: 2.5/5 | Sep 2, 2022

Unfortunately, the final stretch of the movie becomes a riff on God’s Not Dead, though PETA, er, “AFAB,” becomes its cartoon courtroom villain instead of liberal academia.

| Sep 2, 2022

The clunky storytelling doesn’t exactly help things. The movie tends to skimp on details, often bypassing opportunities for some good character building.

| Original Score: 82/100 | Sep 2, 2022

Is it love or love or peanut butter that keeps them together?

| Original Score: C+ | Sep 2, 2022

The cast sell the story without making it sweet or precious … both GIGI & NATE make mistakes in their relationship, which made their bonding more intuitive. It relied on a lot of 온라인카지노추천 movie type conflicts, but in the end it’s a perfect family film. Low why?

| Original Score: 4/5 | Sep 2, 2022

Disability-focused story is more drama than monkey business.

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

The heavy-handedness of this film, which might have been an ingratiating means of introducing audiences to the ethical issues,...makes it more irritating than enlightening.

| Original Score: C- | Sep 1, 2022

I like the story and relationship between our two stars but the conflict that threatens their existence seems forced and just plain nasty.

| Original Score: C+ | Sep 1, 2022
