(1 - 15) of 15 OFCS Rating: 60% Fresh Page   1   3.5/5 "Fido [is] a wildly entertaining comedy. It has as much humor as horror, and a wonderfully wonky way of making its many cogent social critiques."   PopMatters   Bill Gibron C+ "The movie happily rolls out retro trappings that promise some salient social commentary, perhaps about illegal immigrants, that never comes to fruition."   ColeSmithey.com   Cole Smithey 55/100 "This attempt at parodying the zombie genre via 50s pop culture never really finds its feet. Or teeth."   Apollo Guide   Dan Jardine 4/5 "It's crazy and gutsy and campy and gross in all the right places."   eFilmCritic.com   David Cornelius 2.5/4 "Distinctly silly but generally entertaining..."   Reel Film Reviews   David Nusair B- "The premise is so fantastic you almost forgive the shortcomings of the movie itself."   EricDSnider.com   Eric D. Snider C "Stretches its one-joke premise and artificial look beyond the breaking point."   One Guy's Opinion   Frank Swietek 4/5 "If this movie's concept appeals to you at all, I urge you to reward the filmmakers by seeing in the theatre if at all possible. It's so small but so special. For you zombie fans, it's a great dessert after all the carnage, but it still delivers what we"   Cinerina   Karina Montgomery 3/4 "It's just a clever, pointed little fable about the price of complacent conformity, slavish worship of the status quo, and trading freedom for the illusion of safety, wrapped in a sugary-sweet, Jordan-almond-colored coating that looks good enough to eat."   TV Guide's Movie Guide   Maitland McDonagh 2.5/4 "Starts with an excellent idea, but doesn't carry it far enough"   Movie Habit   Marty Mapes 1.5/4 "Fido never goes anywhere interesting or particularly funny with its sketch-comedy premise."   Slant Magazine   Nick Schager 4/5 "Call it an indictment of 1950's "conformity at all costs," a satire on the desperate need to "keep up with the Joneses," or just a plain old wacky combination of zombie horror and unquestionably askew comedy, but I say Fido is a winner."   eFilmCritic.com   Scott Weinberg B "[Director Currie] never lets the commentary overwhelm the humor, and the echoes of Douglas Sirk melodramas and Lassie movies just add to the fun."   Seattle Post-Intelligencer   Sean Axmaker 3.5/5 "fun"   sbs.is   Stefan Birgir Stefansson 2.5/4 Read review   Big Picture Big Sound   Joe Lozito  (1 - 15) of 15 OFCS Rating: 60% Fresh Page   1
