with its air of cheery inanity, Patrick is hard to dislike. Beattie Edmondson is an engaging presence; [but] nothing much happens here at all..Shaggy dog stories don't come much more threadbare than this
lazy rom-com that delivers in canine capers what it lacks in laughs; Still, the entire thing is so relentlessly bright and breezy.., it eventually wins you over, even if it never quite delivers the promised laughs
a film that has no shortage of talent but is low on good gags; It's a film jam-packed with very good actors and big names, and suffused with a puppyish willingness to please. But where is the bite?
