The filmmakers have leapt over franchise concerns to somehow deliver a movie that engages kids and entertainingly puzzles adults.

Yes, some of it looks cheaply made and a few too many of the jokes will thud for parents and children, but it’s such a big-hearted film in every scene.

This is a very entertaining movie. Clifford is just so cute especially when he's with Emily-Elizabeth. I actually enjoyed this movie so much I think it brought me back to when I was watching young-kid-friendly television shows and all that stuff.

It’s loud, it’s silly, it’s over-saturated; the smaller viewers at the family screening I attended were wildly impressed. Adults may be somewhat impressed that the word “bollocks” makes the final cut.

Clifford the Big Red Dog is a sweet if shallow kids offering that sometimes soars higher than expected.

There’s not much here for anyone over 10 to focus on, aside from how strange it is that the puppy Clifford looks so much more fake than the giant one.

Watching this vaguely preternatural, shoddily animated interpretation of a beloved character parade around really makes you feel the disconnect between page and screen.

Cute but the villain reminded me of other villains in family films. Pretty similar to the one from the Garfield movie for instance. It also didn’t need a scene of a normal sized dog picked up by a kid so he could smell Clifford’s butt.

The movie is very, very bad in a pretty watchable way. It's got a surprisingly stacked cast, even if none of them are trying too hard. If nothing else, tune in for the worst attempt at an American accent ever committed to the silver screen. I don't know if the decision to have Jack Whitehall do an American accent was intended to torture the audience or Whitehall himself. Whatever the case, it was impressively cruel.

Set in the same CGI-hybrid adaptation cinematic universe as Alvin and the Chipmunks and Tom & Jerry, this should amuse kids and at least keep adults from falling asleep.
