When a faithful police dog and his human police officer owner are injured together on the job, a harebrained but life-saving surgery fuses the two of them together and Dog Man is born. Dog Man is sworn to protect and serve--and fetch, sit and roll over. As Dog Man embraces his new identity and strives to impress his Chief (Lil Rel Howery, Get Out, Free Guy), he must stop the pretty evil plots of feline supervillain Petey the Cat (Pete Davidson; Saturday Night Live, The King of Staten Island). Petey's latest plan is to clone himself, creating the kitten Lil Petey, to double his ability to do crime stuff. Things get complicated, though, when Lil Petey forges an unexpected bond with Dog Man. When Lil Petey falls into the clutches of a common enemy, Dog Man and Petey reluctantly join forces in an action-packed race against time to rescue the young kitten. In the process, they discover the power of family (and kittens!) to bring even the most hostile foes together.

Sandra Hall Sydney Morning Herald DreamWorks has some wonderfully zany creations to its credit and the box-office receipts to back them up, but this one really strains the relationship. It’s exhausting. Rated: 2.5/5 Apr 2, 2025 Full Review Helen O'Hara Empire Magazine It's all very, very silly. That, combined with the relentless pace, should ensure that it delights its target audience of under-tens, but the adults shouldn't fear this dog's bark too much. Rated: 3/5 Feb 21, 2025 Full Review Mark Kermode Kermode and Mayo's Take (YouTube) Like Captain Underpants, it's really entertainingly anarchic fare. Feb 19, 2025 Full Review Abhishek Srivastava The Times of India The film kicks off strongly but loses focus midway, circling around the repetitive theme of Petey’s arrest. However, once Li’l Petey enters the frame, the narrative regains its rhythm and charm. Rated: 3.5/5 Apr 11, 2025 Full Review Nelson Acosta Koimoi Dog Man is one of those films that proves movies for kids don’t have to be dumb. They can be simple enough that everyone can have fun with them. Rated: 3.5/5 Apr 11, 2025 Full Review Christopher Cross Asynchronous Media A fun movie, but one that lives and dies by how much its animation wins you over. Rated: 3.5/5 Apr 9, 2025 Full Review Read all reviews

James J Witty, funny, and off the cuff. Dogman is a genuinely enjoyable film, from its comic book inspired animation style to its humorous banter that parents can enjoy too. There’s definitely a lot worse ways to kill and hour and a half. Rated 3 out of 5 stars 05/28/25 Full Review SnakEyeStudios A pretty cute movie for kids. It’s nothing groundbreaking, aside from the art style. It captures the art in the books to a tee. As for the story, it adapts the books very well and has so much love put into everything. It’s a pretty emotional story, though nothing big. More cute than anything else, and brings you right to your childhood reading these books :) Rated 3.5 out of 5 stars 05/23/25 Full Review Rebeka Funny and really entertained movie. Rated 5 out of 5 stars 05/23/25 Full Review Luis love the books when I was young and now they turn to movies Rated 5 out of 5 stars 05/22/25 Full Review Martha Kids enjoyed this movie! Rated 5 out of 5 stars 05/16/25 Full Review Cara F Super cute! My kids and I loved it! Rated 5 out of 5 stars 04/15/25 Full Review Read all reviews
