Leave your thoughts about Oh! Heavenly Dog.
| Chicago TribuneLarry KartOh Heavenly Dog is diverting enough for its dog tricks - I like dog tricks, don't get me wrong - but it otherwise shows few signs of life, and many signs of depressing modernism. |
| eFilmCritic.comScott WeinbergChevy Chase plays a dog. Broad comedy or true precognition? |

| New York TimesJanet MaslinShows few signs of life, and many signs of depressing modernism. |
