Everything you'd expect from a crowd-sourced documentary, designed to celebrate its subject, while mostly just validating the aesthetic taste of its backers. Dec 5, 2013 | Full Review…

An hour and a half of hero worship, basically. Fine by me. Nov 21, 2013 | Rating: 3/5 | Full Review…

It was one of the greats of the now-nearly-defunct Sunday funnies, no doubt. Unfortunately, there's not much cinematic magic in watching the director reading the strip, or hearing various other enthusiasts talk about how much they loved it. Nov 15, 2013 | Rating: 2/4 | Full Review…

If you're a fan of Calvin and Hobbes, director Joel Allen Schroeder's documentary Dear Mr. Watterson is more or less pure joy. Nov 15, 2013 | Rating: 2.5/4 | Full Review…

If nothing else, it's a pleasant reminder that if you haven't taken those Calvin & Hobbes anthologies off the shelf in a while, maybe it's time to go exploring again. Nov 15, 2013 | Rating: 6/10 | Full Review…

At one point, someone marvels at Calvin's sheer "lust for life," and while Mr. Schroeder, no doubt, has a parallel fascination with his favorite comic strip, the film doesn't follow through. Nov 15, 2013 | Full Review…

Made by fans and about fans ... it still suffers from a doe-eyed bias. Aug 31, 2018 | Rating: 2.5/5 | Full Review…

This is an appreciation steeped in nostalgia, something for fans of the strip to sit back and simply enjoy. Jul 14, 2016 | Rating: 3/4 | Full Review…

A very worthwhile address of the art and industry of comic strips as a whole. Schroeder has a great appreciation for what his expert interviewees have to say. May 30, 2014 | Rating: 3/5 | Full Review…

A charming look at the world of Calvin and Hobbes. Dec 6, 2013 | Rating: A-
A charming look at the world of Calvin and Hobbes.

A big-hearted but overly fawning documentary that -- despite some great interview material -- feel like a soggy toss-off, and missed opportunity. Nov 22, 2013 | Rating: C | Full Review…

You may not learn anything from this mild, unremarkable film, but you might be tempted to order the deluxe, four-volume "The Complete Calvin and Hobbes" after watching it. Nov 20, 2013 | Rating: C+ | Full Review…
