Reviews for Clifford
Orion serves up another long-on-the-shelf turkey with this gimmicky, poorly conceived comedy.

Top CriticNow let's have a show of hands: how many want to see Martin Short play a ten-year-old brat who makes everybody miserable and winds up staying with his uncle (Charles Grodin) in Los Angeles for a week?

Top CriticA hellish, horrible experience wasting the talents of all involved.

One can't help but laugh at Short's nutty rendition of an unctous little 10-year-old devil, and Grodin's angry reactions are equally funny as his increasingly exasperated uncle.

[The film] isn't nearly as bad as it's been made out to be.

When Martin puts Clifford on a harrowing hyperspeed version of the Larry the Scary Rex ride, the special effects are impressive, but not worth waiting for.

The DVD should come with a free bottle of aspirin.

Clifford is the worst comedy since Captain Ron or Pure Luck or Cross My Heart... come to think of it, they all starred Martin Short, too.

Remember when Martin Short was funny?

Top CriticGrodin's a fine foil and Steenburgen has some lovely, loopy bits, but their characters are handled mildly, almost naturalistically, and that spills onto Clifford, too. Which is deadly here.
