“Clifford The Big Red Dog” (*** out of four) was a very likeable adaptation of Norman Briswell’s children’s book series about a young girl (Darby Camp) who falls in love with a small red dog named Clifford who soon grows to enormous size resulting in a greedy scientist (Tony Hale) wanting to capture it and the chase is on throughout NYC. Paper thin script and characters and broadly done in the vein of 50’s and 60’s Disney movies but makes all the right moves to entertain its children and family audience and animal lovers (like me) and is overall winning. John Cleese has a small but key role as Clifford’s original master also named Bridwell.
