Red Dog: True Blue
The Press Reviews
There's a lovely eccentricity about the colourful characters that inhabit the story... Full Review
The coming-of-age elements pull it into a softer, less contrived and more affecting space, which is ultimately where this very rewarding journey resides. Full Review
A classic boy-and-his-dog tale, Red Dog: True Blue has a big heart and bundles of charm... Full Review
The result is big, broad family-friendly fun; a good-looking but uneven story with moments of inspired craziness. Full Review
A final warning: if you don't have a dog, and you take kids to see it, you may come under a lot of pressure to acquire one. Full Review
True Blue has the same knockabout charm as its record-breaking predecessor. Full Review
This oddly conceived sequel evokes memories of episodes of 'Skippy'. Full Review
