3/5

Good Boy is a film that dares to be different, but does it work? Well, mostly. The story of Christian and Sigrid is charming in its oddity, especially with the whole 'man acting like a dog' angle.

The story of Christian and Sigrid is charming in its oddity, especially with the whole 'man acting like a dog' angle. It’s hilarious at times and definitely raises eyebrows, but it can feel a bit stretched. The chemistry between the leads is palpable, and you can’t help but root for them despite the bizarre circumstances. However, some scenes might leave you scratching your head rather than laughing. The direction has a playful tone, but at points, it feels like it’s trying too hard to be quirky. If you're in the mood for something light and offbeat, Good Boy has its moments, but don’t expect a deep dive into romance or character development. It’s fun, but not without its flaws. Show less
