[A] delightful remake.

Totally uncorrupting.
Wally Hammond, Time Out

This film is clever even with its human actors, dispensing with the first film's animal-loving hermits and playing up the importance of a cute, newly typical American family.
Janet Maslin, New York Times

Even the most televisionally overstimulated will likely enjoy this boy-and-his-dog movie -- which also happens to be a girl-and-her-cat movie too.
