      Jay Carr Boston Globe The problem in "Animal Behavior" isn't the animal behavior. It's Susan Rice's sweet-natured but unskilled script, and Anne Riley's direction, which underlines its connect-the-dots obviousness while ignoring its screwball comedy possibilities. Apr 1, 2012 Full Review Leonard Maltin leonardmaltin.com Let us all be thankful that Bonzo didn't live to see this. Apr 1, 2012 Full Review Vincent Canby New York Times The movie plays as if it had not been directed by anyone, or as if someone had come along and attempted to improve whatever the original director had done. Rated: 2/5 Apr 1, 2012 Full Review Sky Staff Sky Cinema With a poor script, some very poor acting from Allen and, surprisingly, Holly Hunter, this was doomed to fail. Rated: 2/5 Apr 1, 2012 Full Review TV Guide This modest little movie deserves to be seen and appreciated. It manages to be intelligent without being pompous or pretentious, and entertaining without resorting to titillation. Rated: 3/4 Apr 1, 2012 Full Review Ralph Novak People Magazine Allen, who at 38 is a mite old to be playing a grad student, has the worst agent in the Western world, having parlayed one of the best roles in movie history into a zippo career...
