Sandra Hall Sydney Morning Herald All up, it's a spirited and unpretentious film with some engagingly eccentric bits, the best of which involve Izaac Wang. Rated: 3/5 Jan 6, 2022 Full Review Jason Bailey The Playlist It's a live-action world, though Clifford is a computer-animated dog, which fills the whole enterprise with unfortunate echoes of the "Tom & Jerry" movie from earlier this year. Dec 28, 2021 Full Review Simran Hans Observer (UK) The film is best when it sticks to children's caper mode, jostled along by gentle toilet humour, bad-tempered barnyard animals and a scene of two kids driving a van across Manhattan. Rated: 3/5 Dec 12, 2021 Full Review Maxance Vincent InSession Film The last Clifford film, Clifford’s Really Big Movie, wasn’t great, but it at least understood the source material it was adapting itself from and respected Norman Bridwell’s legacy. The new Clifford movie does not do any of that. Rated: D Mar 5, 2024 Full Review Manuel São Bento MSB Reviews Besides being expectedly childish, incredibly formulaic, and exaggerated in every possible way, the characters and the main narrative are far from looking, sounding, and being authentic. Rated: C- Jul 25, 2023 Full Review Leigh Paatsch Herald Sun (Australia) A genuinely lovely and endearing re-entry into the Clifford universe, wherein once again we learn what it might be like to own a small puppy that inexplicably grows up to become a 4-metre-high pooch. Rated: 3/5 Mar 18, 2022 Full Review Read all reviews
