Nada en contra de la intención de reciclar una plantilla probada en un intento de crear otro blockbuster comercial después de Mujeres a la carrera, siempre y cuando el resultado sea un producto de calidad y entretenido (que no es el caso). Sin embargo, incluso esta vez, habrá espectadores que quedarán muy satisfechos y no les importará que la película se presente en términos de guion como un perezoso intento de éxito seguro, con unos diálogos rebosantes de ingenuidad, un humor hilarante que sólo aparece esporádicamente, y su trama romántica multigeneracional extremadamente predecible, insípidamente banal y emocionalmente poco gratificante. Los actores y los animales protagonistas merecen elogios por sus simpáticas interpretaciones, y la mayor parte de los aspectos artesanales de la película es bastante buena (salvo la repetitiva y machacona música), pero por lo demás Heart to Heart no hace más que aburrir con su simplicidad argumental (incluso primitivismo) y no contiene nada que pueda resultar muy interesante.

Thanks to a fine cast, two pairs of eloquent dog eyes, non-forced humor and relaxing music, I had a really nice time with this nice romantic comedy. That's also why I almost didn't mind that it was relatively easy to guess where the story was going in the opening minutes of the movie. (70%) (31.12.2022)

I was really curious to see the latest film from the creator of Women on the Run, as Heart to Heart also features a likeable cast and an appealing, albeit not original, premise. Despite the obvious plot cliché, Horský's film is incredibly relaxing and optimistic, and put a genuine smile on my face. I appreciate the funny screenplay that doesn't push the envelope unnecessarily, and I must also praise the sober and believable performances of the actors – especially in the case of Honzik, whose lines really amused me. But the other actors and actresses also won me over. On the other hand, the heavy, easy-going Váleček reminded me of a nice basset hound from my childhood. A weaker four stars! (22.01.2022)

A sterile, pointless Czech romantic comedy that only exists because the filmmakers felt sorry about the death of Polívka in the opening of Women on the Run. They thus gave him his own film, but forgot that they should also write something in it for him. And for his colleagues too, of course. (10.09.2022)
