Surprisingly nimble and fun to watch, mostly thanks to the magnificent dogs Hoffman has found to portray his lead characters, and thanks to the actors he cast as the animals' voices. Full Review

No new ground is dug up in Good Boy, but the story is well-paced, sweet and lively, filling a void for very young filmgoers. Full Review
