An unusually high ratio of laughs per minute. Kalesniko's writing and direction are ever on the prowl for the oddball and off-beat.
Kirk Honeycutt
The Hollywood Reporter
Branagh, in his most forceful non-Shakespeare screen performance grounds even the softest moments in the angry revolt of his wit.
Owen Gleiberman
Entertainment Weekly
Neighbor's Dog is precisely that rare beast, a movie at once deeply cynical and often mocking . . . yet genuinely fond of its flawed yet fundamentally decent people. It will certainly click with audiences starved for smart, pungent comedy.
Eddie Cockrell
IndieWire

Mr. Kalesniko's satirically barbed screenplay stirs up an insistent verbal energy that rarely flags.
Stephen Holden
The New York Times

Run, don't walk, to see this barbed and
bracing comedy.
Joe Leydon
San Francisco Examiner

An unpredictable, bittersweet and vastly
touching film that doesn't stoop to formula or preachy conclusions.
Jonathan Perry
The Boston Globe

One of my favorite films this year . . . well written and beautifully acted. [A] refreshingly unconventional comedy.
