Show Dogs Ratings & Reviews

Love this movie
Pajiba
Roxana Hadadi
It all comes back to the fact that Show Dogs is a movie for children that seems interested in pushing a plot that normalizes unwanted sexual touching.
Alternate Ending
Tim Brayton
The gags range from the lazy to the inexplicable.
Sacramento News & Review
Jim Lane
This dreary time-and-talent waster seems to have been aimed at undemanding three-year-olds whose parents have more money and less sense than is good for them.
Austin Chronicle
Steve Davis
Stupefyingly inane...
Deseret News (Salt Lake City)
Josh Terry
Without a clever script to back it up, the result feels like a much better fit for a slow day on Netflix than a full-price ticket to the theater
SSG Syndicate
Susan Granger
Although it's obviously intended to be a PG live-action/CGI comedy, there's an ill-advised message, illustrating how pedophiles prey on youngsters. A regrettable mistake.
Screen It!
Jim Judy
Howlingly bad and ill-suited for kids (or anyone wanting to preserve brain cells). (Full Content Review for Parents - Violence, Sexual Material etc. - also Available)
Washington Post
Pat Padua
Grown-ups might not roll over for "Show Dogs," but children almost surely will.
Common Sense Media
Sandie Angulo Chen
Talking-animal buddy comedy nothing to bark about.
San Diego Reader
Scott Marks
It's true that technology has come a long way since Tex Avery first added animated mouths to real-life animals, but what good is scientific know-how without the imagination needed to power it?
Boston Herald
Stephen Schaefer
Director Raja Gosnell has been here before with "Beverly Hills Chihuahua" and "Scooby-Doo.'' He knows the value of being wittily self-referential and self-aware.
RogerEbert.com
Christy Lemire
Even by the low standards of this type of live-action, family friendly comedy, Show Dogs is especially lame.
San Francisco Chronicle
Peter Hartlaub
Make a stand to Hollywood and vote with your wallet: We all deserve a better live-action talking-dog movie than this.
AV Club
Ignatiy Vishnevetsky
There are some cases where you really can't teach an old dog new tricks.
Variety
Nick Schager
The film's lack of inspiration at every level - technical, narrative and comedic - is so crushing that, save for pre-adolescents, most will consider this a top contender for worst of breed.
The Hollywood Reporter
Michael Rechtshaffen
A high-concept family comedy that manages to avoid being taken for the runt of the litter, even if it doesn't really bring anything fresh and different to the arena.
New York Times
Teo Bugbee
Sometimes a rewarding movie theater experience comes from a simple film that doesn't promise more than it can deliver. "Show Dogs" promises talking dogs who fight crime. It delivers.
TheWrap
Robert Abele
A panting, poorly trained entry in the live-action/talking animal genre that for once makes viewers long for the candy-colored, half-witted professionalism of third-tier Pixar-knockoff animation.
Los Angeles Times
Gary Goldstein
This nicely modulated film largely avoids the hyper-aggressive jokiness and desperate stabs at relevance that often plague kidpics.
