Critics' reviews

"Though it doesn't really work, there are enjoyable things about it."

Michael Wilmington: Los Angeles Times
"This frothy little comedy is a pleasant enough amusement. It's not a big belly-laugh of a comedy, but it's quickly paced, fun and entertaining."

Marjorie Baumgarten: Austin Chronicle
"As a general rule, films whose plots revolve around lost dogs are apt to be short on comic inspiration, and this one is no exception."

Janet Maslin: The New York Times
"Few pictures that start this well go so bad so fast."

Mick LaSalle: San Francisco Chronicle
"For about 15 seconds at the beginning, the new MGM film Once Upon a Crime is a thorough delight. Then that adorable little lion stops roaring"

Hal Hinson: The Washington Post
"The plot is a mishmash of murder, cute pets, lost luggage, compulsive gambling and domestic disharmony, and has holes in it you could pilot a yacht through."
