Philadelphia Inquirer

A touching, family-friendly entertainment

By Carrie Rickey FULL REVIEW

The Globe and Mail (Toronto)

An entertaining family comedy full of both tricks and trickery.

By Jennie Punter FULL REVIEW

The New York Times

Working with four interchangeable Deweys, the filmmakers create a sufficient number of lively stunts to keep the kiddies amused, though the film's wittiest moment -- a canine parody of Dudley Moore's first glimpse of Bo Derek in "10" -- will be appreciated only by their parents. In trying to straddle both age groups, however, Firehouse Dog proves decidedly less nimble than its furry star.

By Jeannette Catsoulis FULL REVIEW

Entertainment Weekly

The terrier Rexxx might be the least appealing mutt ever to slobber on screen.

FULL REVIEW

Austin Chronicle

Perhaps the lesson to be learned is that just because we CAN use computer technology to give dogs goofy faces, that doesn’t mean we SHOULD.

By Marrit Ingman FULL REVIEW

Boston Globe

And that dog -- or, rather, that digitally enhanced replicant -- is just plain creepy.

By Ty Burr FULL REVIEW

San Francisco Chronicle

Perhaps worst of all, the movie is painfully long.
