- The first-time viewer loved the film’s ensemble, sustained suspense and unusually strong comic third act, comparing successful improvisation to professional sports.
- The comedy may appeal more to adults than teenagers despite its PG subject matter.
- Social-media familiarity with eccentric pet owners may make the film feel less strange now; its reported $20 million domestic gross without a major star is admired.
- Liz Kelly’s favorite moments are reported as O’Hara’s knee injury and Max berating his son on the shed.
