Good Boy

About This Movie

So, 'Good Boy' is a curious blend of comedy and horror that really doesn't take itself too seriously. The plot centers around a golden retriever who's feeling pretty neglected after his owner has a baby. You get this great sense of loneliness from the dog, and it's surprisingly relatable. The pacing is a bit uneven, with moments that are laugh-out-loud funny followed by some genuinely eerie scenes. Practical effects add a nice touch, especially in the more absurd moments. Performances are decent, though the dog steals the show for sure. The way it explores themes of jealousy and attention, particularly from a pet's perspective, is kind of unique. Not something you come across every day.
