Sarah Francis is about to start a new teaching job when first her boyfriend dumps her, and then her grandmother dies, leaving her Patrick, a prized and pampered pug. A Disney dud.

Everybody deals with grief differently, but anyone who has experience bereavement will find something to connect with in Patrick.

A friendly pug comedy with no bite.

Andrea Chase Killer Movie Reviews Feb 20, 2019 3/5

The film and the eponymous pug who plays him, are sly charmers who take a fairly predictable plot and make it a cozy experience well worth the investment of your time.

I was severely disappointed with this film. It might've actually killed off the last few remaining cells of joy I had in my heart for cute dog flicks.

If Patrick is sweetly predictable with low-key Brit self-effacing humor - that's the whole point.

With so much utterly appalling drama going on around us these days, it's nice to have a cozy retreat of a film that will entertain both you and your best friend.

The titular pooch is the most appealing character in this broad and irritating British comedy.

Laden with pleasant, stereotypic characters, there isn't a twist or turn that you don't see coming long before Sarah.

If you tossed Patrick a bone and deemed it adorable enough for the most easily-delighted dog lovers, it wouldn't be very fair to the countless pooch pictures that have actually cared about story or comedy or any of the human characters.

Patrick is a cute little comedy that comes from across the pond in Britain but let's be honest in that we're only watching for the lovable pug.

Though the family-friendly comedy has all the good intentions of a motivational puppy poster, it unfortunately also has the same level of intelligence and plot.

A film has to have something going for it, like a plot, instead of just relying on an adorable animal.

A lovely tribute to the impact that a dog can have on your life.

Courtney Howard Variety Feb 13, 2019

Though the narrative tends to be a touch too simplistic for most grown-ups, and lacks enough riotous dog action for the little ones, there's enough bite to make things worthwhile for those who just want to enjoy a sweet, wholesome dog movie.

Mild British comedy should have had more dog, less human.

The plot is familiar and reminiscent of Disney films of the 1960s (updated perhaps)

Plays up to kiddies with poop, pratfalls and potential paramours but lack the heart of the great dog movies like "Hachi" and "Lassie Come Home."

It was totally unrelatable on almost every level, one of the worst sins that a romcom can commit.

Anne Brodie What She Said Jan 18, 2019

A sweet, funny and not too taxing film; Edmondson is, like her Ab Fab mother, a gifted physical comedienne and highly relatable.
