Review of Darling Companion (2012)

Review of Darling Companion (2012)

By Nathan Rabin (1,078) for AV Club (2,778) on 25 Apr 2012

Review of Darling Companion (2012)

By Rick Groen (1,350) for The Globe and Mail (Toronto) (4,018) on 25 Apr 2012

The film sputters and stalls and winds up behaving like the worst sort of oldster – passing gas and pretending to be deep…

Review of Darling Companion (2012)

By Annlee Ellingson (847) for Paste Magazine (2,906) on 24 Apr 2012

Review of Darling Companion (2012)

By Brent Simon (1,142) for Screen International (2,241) on 21 Apr 2012

An ambling, pleasantly inoffensive ensemble dramedy which suffers from a dearth of insight or elevating banter, and which mistakes authenticity…

Review of Darling Companion (2012)

By Peter Rainer (2,575) for Christian Science Monitor (3,788) on 21 Apr 2012

A pleasant little dawdle and yet another example, in these dog days for cinema, that dogs are a movie's best friend…

Review of Darling Companion (2012)

By Claudia Puig (2,080) for USA Today (4,117) on 21 Apr 2012

Review of Darling Companion (2012)

By Kurt Loder (858) for Reason Online (497) on 19 Apr 2012

Review of Darling Companion (2012)

By Stephen Whitty (1,794) for Newark Star-Ledger (1,745) on 19 Apr 2012

Review of Darling Companion (2012)

By Lou Lumenick (2,103) for New York Post (6,650) on 19 Apr 2012

While it's not a disaster like Kasdan's last film, Dreamcatcher'' (2003), Darling Companion doesn't amount to much more than a fairly painless…

Review of Darling Companion (2012)

By Jason Bailey (832) for DVDTalk.com (826) on 19 Apr 2012

That's a fine cast, and the film is handsomely photographed in Colorado and Utah. It's all so nice. Too nice. Deathly nice…

By Alonso Duralde (1,351) for TheWrap (3,203) on 18 Apr 2012

If you found Benji the Hunted unbearably intense or Marley & Me a bit too hard-edged, then Darling Companion may be the dog movie for you…

Review of Darling Companion (2012)

By Mary Pols (197) for Time (1,811) on 18 Apr 2012

It has a gentle if unenlightening message, namely that we should all take time off to reconnect - the soundtrack tends to the Bonnie Raitt…
