Synopsis
When middle-schooler Emily Elizabeth (Darby Camp) meets a magical animal rescuer (John Cleese) who gifts her a little, red puppy, she never anticipated waking up to find a giant ten-foot hound in her small New York City apartment. While her single mum (Sienna Guillory) is away for business, Emily and her fun but impulsive uncle Casey (Jack Whitehall) set out on an adventure that will keep you on the edge-of-your-seat as our heroes take a bite out of the Big Apple. Based on the beloved Scholastic book character, Clifford will teach the world how to love big!

Clifford the Big Red Dog | Reviews
As agreeable as Clifford himself, as simultaneously cute and in-your-face, and as genially random in its ability to create chaos. Full review Familiar, but sturdy and sweet. Full review Delightfully bizarre... Full review It's at its best when it leans into kindness and community... Full review Clifford the Big Red Dog is that rare thing: a happy movie. Full review (A) generic canine caper... Full review It has a warming soul that comes through when it matters. Full review Forgettable... Full review Sweet kid, lovable dog, uneven script...

It doesn’t overstay its welcome, and is bright, colourful and light on its feet.

It's loud, it's silly, it's over-saturated; the smaller viewers at the... screening I attended were wildly impressed.

The Times
Its very existence is almost nauseating.
