“The film’s sweetness, its story line and the script’s cartoony characters recall Raising Arizona.”
“This is the comedy surprise of the year.”
“A delightful, no-holds-barred farce. The characters are all relatable precisely because they’re so wonderfully demented.”
“…looks terrific thanks to Garrett O’Brien’s crisp cinematography. But the real star of the proceedings is undeniably the lovable canine performer whose deadpan facial expressions make the chaos surrounding her all the more funny.”
“A film that mixes the wit of David O. Russell’s Flirting with Disaster with a sardonic criticism of the burgeoning dog culture of Los Angeles.”
“Gone Doggy Gone reminded me of this new round of Melissa McCarthy/Paul Feig comedies, letting a female lead really come into her own, and getting to do all the ‘fun’ stuff normally reserved for the boys in films like The Hangover.”
“This film does a commendable job, and serves as a feature length introduction to what should be a long comedic screen career for the Brown/Walter team.”
“What Gone Doggy Gone has going for it is solid banter writing and some crisp, engaging characterizations and acting.”
“…this movie is a must see—whether you love dogs, or love to laugh at people who love them a little too much.”
“…it’s a satisfyingly heartwarming ride.”
