The film adaptation of David Walliams' book constructs its comedy on a clear-cut contrast: a cute pet versus a grotesque villain. It relies on the classic children's adventure template, where a clever kid confronts the corrupt adult world, exploring themes of friendship and standing up for the vulnerable.

Those who tire of overly complex plots will find a straightforward, good-natured tale that delivers simple laughs and a warm, fuzzy feeling by the end. — MovieFinder Editorial
