...a lighthearted, generically animated, fun time out for the kids.

...a CG-animated film about Superman’s dog learning to make and share friends that is much better than you would expect.

...offers a barking good time at the movies.

...engaging enough for children to enjoy, and even funny enough for adults to emit the occasional chuckle.

...there’s little reason to resist the cute.

...an all-star cast, a script that is smart, exciting, and very funny, and, above all, the ability to tap into one of humanity’s deepest emotions, our love for our pets and theirs for us.
