STUPID MOVIE, IDIOTIC SCRIPT, WASTED CAST
Great movie for the family.
could have been so good and just wasn't! It had the story, the people and the dog but NOTHING seemed to fit. It just went on and on and reminded me of mercury broken by a hammer......total disconnect...horrible 2 hours.
just from the trailor it looks like a very good movie and the actors are wonderful.
My friend and I loved it. The dialogue was funny, the acting and casting were excellent, and I loved the dog of course.

It meanders about as much as its eponymous pooch. Full Review

If you found "Benji the Hunted" unbearably intense or "Marley & Me" a bit too hard-edged, then Darling Companion may be the dog movie for you. On the other hand, if you like to watch cute pooches doing cute stuff on screen, you may be a little disappointed. Full Review

Dogs and the women who love them form the warm and gooey center of Darling Companion, Lawrence Kasdan's fitfully amusing comedy-drama. Full Review

Like Freeway, the lovable stray dog at the center of this very teary comedy, Darling Companion has lost its way. Even the marquee ensemble anchored by Diane Keaton, Dianne Wiest, Kevin Kline and Richard Jenkins is not enough to rescue this motley mutt of a movie. Full Review

Dog lovers will instantly warm to the handsome stray collie mix, but they may struggle to fully embrace the amiable but toothless adult story surrounding him. Full Review
