	Author	Review
United States	Guy Lodge Variety	"The narrative’s time-travel element allows for plenty of fluffy, fleet-footed action."	NEU
United Kingdom	Helen O'Hara Empire	"There’s a good-hearted father and son tale at the heart of the madness here, but the surroundings are sometimes a little too silly for true greatness. (...) Rating: ★★★ (out of five)"	NEU
United States	Leslie Felperin The Hollywood Reporter	"A pleasant, polished, but somewhat by-the-numbers effort."	NEU
United Kingdom	Peter Bradshaw The Guardian	"It's a headspinningly wacky premise, and it takes a little while for the audience to get up to speed, but once this is achieved, there's an awful lot of unexpected fun to be had. (...) Rating: ★★★ (out of foive)"	POS
United Kingdom	David Gritten Telegraph	"It’s sweet-natured and amusing, with a story to captivate kids; yet the script has enough witty touches to keep adults laughing too. (...) Rating: ★★★★ (out of five)"	POS
United States	Michael Phillips Chicago Tribune	"More than anything Minkoff's project feels like a protracted episode of 'Jimmy Neutron'. (...) Rating: ★★ (out of four)"	NEU
United States	A. O. Scott The New York Times	"[The film] is not perfect, but it is fast-moving, intermittently witty and pretty good fun."	POS
United States	Claudia Puig USA Today	"Pedantic pooch pops off with some clever bon mots, but the movie is overall too predictable and forced. (...) Rating: ★★½ (out of four)"	NEU
