Entertainment Weekly
Lawrence Kasdan's comedy strikes a note of rib-nudging blah coyness that feels very 1987. - 50
The Hollywood Reporter
While superbly acted, the dramedy plays out like a tepid "Big Chill" at best. - 50
Variety
It meanders about as much as its eponymous pooch. - 50
New York Magazine (Vulture)
If you can stay awake, you'll see a performance by Keaton that is radiant in its simplicity, all ditheriness shaken off. She's still peaking - someone give her a great role. - 50
Observer
The movie is not about the dog. It's about the people who find love, settle their differences, and get their priorities straight while searching for him. Still, when all is said and done, the dog is the only thing you care about in Darling Companion. - 50
Movieline
There's too much people and not enough dog in Lawrence Kasdan's Darling Companion, and even if you prefer people to dogs, that's a serious problem. - 40
Time Out
The story's treacly all-souls-in-alignment outcome is never in doubt, but as Kasdan dogs go, this is light-years better than Dreamcatcher. - 40
Village Voice
The handsome pooch is also the only appealing aspect of the latest tale of privileged boomer pulse-taking from Lawrence Kasdan.
