Nick Schager Variety Stodgy storytelling... plays out with no mystery, ambiguity or subtlety. Jan 21, 2022 Full Review Gary Goldstein Los Angeles Times Too bad the rest of the movie isn't as captivating as the big, beautiful cat at its center. Jan 21, 2022 Full Review Teo Bugbee New York Times The metaphors are so obvious that the film becomes trapped in its own cage of archetypes and clichés... Jan 20, 2022 Full Review John Serba Decider Even younger, less critical audiences will be bored by The Tiger Rising. Feb 23, 2022 Full Review Jackie K. Cooper jackiekcooper.com Two kids find a caged tiger and vow to protect it. Dennis Quaid has a great cameo as the villain in this enjoyable family film. Rated: 6/10 Feb 4, 2022 Full Review Luke Gorham In Review Online [The Tiger Rising is] as unimaginative and perfunctory as adaptations come. Jan 27, 2022 Full Review Read all reviews

Sarah O It's a solid movie. Not the best I've ever seen, but not the worst. Queen Latifa was solid. Wonderful, warm, compassionate. The kids (the two child actors) were very convincable. They both had very complex characters and I thought the did well. Dennis Quaid just can't pull off a bad guy. He flashes that smile and it's over. I struggled to believe he was a dirt bag. But the movie, overall, was very entertaining. I think it might be hard to enjoy if you're incapable of empathy, because the children are dealing with VERY hard topics. I think anyone capable of relating to kids will appreciate the film. Rated 3 out of 5 stars 02/06/22 Full Review F Smith We absolutely loved this family movie! Rated 5 out of 5 stars 01/31/22 Full Review Christie C We thought a movie with Dennis Quaid and Queen Latifah would be a sure bet, but their talents were wasted. The movie lacked direction and dragged for the most part. The three children in attendance were in and of the theater during the movie. Obviously, the movie failed to hold their attention (as well as ours). What started out as having potential turned turned into the hope that it would end soon so we could go home. Rated 2 out of 5 stars 01/30/22 Full Review KozNeffex The movie was actually pretty good. Not what I expected. I will probably more than likely watch it again! Rated 4 out of 5 stars 01/30/22 Full Review Zoe M. So for a very simplistic movie it was very good and wholesome. I wish they hadnt left an open end with the teacher and school but for the moral of the story being what it was I was happy and my daughter (6) enjoyed it as well. Rated 4.5 out of 5 stars 01/30/22 Full Review Patty D This was a great movie! It was so touching and down-to-earth! The actors were all tremendous!
