"What the fuck pound did you get this dog from?" - Nate,

Reuben did nothing wrong!

Judy Greer gets an emotional support dog and the dog starts to kill everyone that stresses Greer out.... it's a dark comedy.... and it's funny.

If dry, dark humor is your thing.

I mean, Judy Greer and a killer dog

What the fuck else do you need?!

Judy Greer could make the most boring movie watchable, she’s just got it, she’s got that screen charisma and likability that few actresses possess. Thankfully, Good Boy is actually a decent movie anyway, but it’s made even better because of Judy Greer.

This doesn’t feel like a film that should be in the Into The Dark series, it doesn’t have that anthology vibe that a lot of the others have. It feels more like an indie horror comedy, I hate to sound snooty but it’s a bit of a higher tier than the rest of the series.

It’s quirky. It’s funny. It’s also surprisingly gory. More roles where Judy Greer is utilised correctly and more roles where Judy Greer isn’t playing a mom please.

The dog is super cute too.

Rueben the absolute goodest boy emotional support dog that fucking murders anything that stresses out his owner ... this was pretty amusing and if you like dogs and a good horror comedy it’s an easy recommendation.. the doggie murders are fun enough and it also delves a bit into the conflicts and pressures of wanting to have real babies and not just furry ones .. the messages about that are a little muddy but I certainly didn’t turn on good boy to feel deep emotional feelings 🐶 perhaps a female writer or director would’ve captured those sentiments better I don’t know ... it’s a complex subject

Kind of felt like an over glorified episode of Goosebumps.

When is the last time you expressed your anal glands??

The Good
- Judy Greer.
- Ellen Wong.
- The comedy.
- The cute dog.
- The unexpected ending.

The Bad
- 3-4 stupid jump scares.
- Most of the action happens offscreen.
- Not showing the dog’s transformation.
- Not enough horror/blood/gore in most scenes.

Judy Greer is a national treasure. Into the Dark’s Good Boy is a horror-comedy that nails the comedy but lacks the horror. Judy’s performance is absolutely terrific and that alone is worth a watch.

Technically this film isn't bad, I would go so far as to say that I've seen far worse Into The Dark episodes, but I didn't like the main character, she was a bit too needy and I wanted less of her and more dark humor with the dog. This is why you can't trust dog people though! Dog bad, kitty good! Reuben was cute though, for a dog.

Ce film a une incroyable ambiance de dimanche paresseux.

Good Boy is an amazingly hilarious horror comedy! Judy Greer is Oscar worthy in the role. Along with her dog co-star! I think this is the best Into The Dark episode by far! At least for the time being, let’s see what they throw at us next 👁👄👁

rueben a real one

aight what’s going on with that one scene

Highlights the crushing anxieties unique to career women by suggesting a murderous emotional support dog is a valid solution to their problems. It's a solid concept presented as a dark comedy but doesn't work as one simply because the jokes just do not land. Judy Greer's character coming off as unsympathetic by rolling with the kill spree because it benefits her doesn't help matters. Those in the mood for homicidal pooches devoted to their owners are probably better off with an episode of Mr. Pickles, which also isn't very funny but will only take up ten minutes of your time.

Maggie, a 39 year old, feeling a little lost/left behind, still single & her work not going so great. She decides to take on an emotional support dog & opts for a tiny cute little pooch, Reuben. This ain't no normal little bundle of fluff though!! Anyone that wrongs Maggie soon faces the wrath of Reuben! Decent fun flick to chuck on & just enjoy. There is a deeper, more emotional side story going on regarding Maggie's future desires to have children, it's constantly there but not forced & it doesn't take over. The comical killer pooch was enough story for me to enjoy. Good enough for a one-time watch.

6/10

This review may contain spoilers. I can handle the truth.

Watched as part of my 2020 Movie Wrap-Up Challenge: Mike Round 6

Top 5 Into the Dark for sure. I lost count and ranking due to the COVID delys on these.

I’d pat the dog.

Sat on this film for a few weeks before reviewing, and now I feel basically nothing for it. Left me with nothing other than a hazy memory of a bunch of silliness and ridiculous character choices.

Judy Greer is clearly the highlight, and her stellar comedic timing/delivery made me at least not regret watching it.

I don't really know what to make of this one. This is another one that got bumped up a bit just by spelling out how it was working for me- it's not actually good, but if you're specifically in the mood for a horror-comedy starring Judy Greer, boy oh boy is this exactly that! It's light and silly, with subtext that is at best confusing and at worst pretty bad (the black and white shot is, I think, actually a pretty good reflection of what the movie is ultimately about/saying, but I don't know how much I want to recommend a movie that is saying what that scene is saying). I don't know, it's not a masterpiece, but also I think if I sat people down and watched this with them very few would be angry.

Judy Greer is the greatest
