Reception
Renee Schonfeld of Common Sense Media gave the film one out of five stars, saying "The only saving grace is Olivia d'Abo trying to give a calming performance surrounded by ineptitude of grand proportions. Unfunny, emotionally empty, and relentlessly stupid, the movie is an all-around miss."[2] Gemma Gargette of VultureHound gave the film a 2/5, saying "Although this sounds like a fun and energetic storyline for all the family, Robo-Dog fails to reach the mark."[3]
