Critics on Rotten Tomatoes
Top critics, in their words
[A] delightful remake.
Totally uncorrupting.
This film is clever even with its human actors, dispensing with the first film's animal-loving hermits and playing up the importance of a cute, newly typical American family.
Even the most televisionally overstimulated will likely enjoy this boy-and-his-dog movie -- which also happens to be a girl-and-her-cat movie too.
