What to Know

Critics Consensus

Good Boy may not use many new tricks, but it uses the old ones well enough to create a fun and scary installment that gives the excellent Judy Greer the lead role she deserves.

Overall, the mixture of comedy and social comedy about the plight of women struggling for a work/life balance mostly works for me, especially considering the game performance by Judy Greer. Go to Full Review
