Top Critics Reviews

rotten:
There's a kind of macho element to the movie that contradicts Harrison's interest in humane treatment with filming the suffering of animals and hoisting a couple of them for the camera.

rotten:
Spends rather too much time in the troubling company of Terry Brumfield, a barely mobile invalid who houses two full-grown African lions and their four cubs in a trailer in his backyard.
– Jeannette Catsoulis,

rotten:
Explores the growing trend of treating dangerous animals as just another household pet.
– V.A. Musetto,

fresh:
The documentary shoots fish in a barrel -- or maybe snakes in Tupperware -- but it does so with gripping, maddening, well-told stories.
– Tasha Robinson,
AV Club,
14 Apr 2011
fresh:
An exceptionally compassionate, fair-minded film that clearly states, beyond any rational benefit of the doubt, that raising potentially dangerous animals as pets is destructive to animals and humans alike.
