ThedevilChoose When a movie has you begging for it to end not even half way through it's pure crap. We've all seen this movie and this characters millions of times, nothing new in it. Don't waste your time.
Fairaher The film makes a home in your brain and the only cure is to see it again.
Kaydan Christian A terrific literary drama and character piece that shows how the process of creating art can be seen differently by those doing it and those looking at it from the outside.
Brenda The plot isn't so bad, but the pace of storytelling is too slow which makes people bored. Certain moments are so obvious and unnecessary for the main plot. I would've fast-forwarded those moments if it was an online streaming. The ending looks like implying a sequel, not sure if this movie will get one
cinephile-27690 My Grandma saw this with some friend and thought it was cute. I saw Chris Stuckmann's hilarious review, and saw on Roger Ebert's website that it had 0 stars. Dang. I decided to check it out and boy, it is very flawed. Terrible puns("my name is Perkins, so my store is Purrkins.") and so much more. A father tells his son to go skydiving without a parachute. He refuses and so he gets it later with a note-to which it says "For when you are man enough." A man cheats on her husband. A divorcee says the day she divorced her husband was the best day of her life. I could keep going, I found over 30 flaws! I gave it a 7, the highest a bad movie can be on my scale. It's cute but so stupid! Really, I think you should skip this. Cats have 9 lives, you do not. Use it wisely.
ripleyvisentin Too many suicide and adult jokes :/ Also Kevin Spacey's in it. It's unrealistic and stupid.
Maz-hell This movie is the actual definition of having your brain dead. It fails in every way. My cat has defecated better arguments for movies than this. I never even smiled for this piece of cinematic abomination. People are saying "Hey, its for kids" So what? Kids need to be mentally challenged too. Imagine if the little mermaid just started by saying "Ariel was a mermaid. And she married the prince. We are not going to tell you how, but that's the point of the movie. The end. Thanks for the money!". That is how i felt through this entire movie.Lets start with the "hero" of the movie, the guy you are supposed to like (John Doe or Kevin Spacey... Seriously, what happened to you?): He is an egotistic selfish guy with anger issues that has been divorced because of how little he cares about his family, with a son that he does not care about even though they both work for the same company, a daughter that he does not care about and a new wife that he does not care about. His company makes money only for him and the rest of his employees can either shut up or go **** themselves. What does he care about? If his building is going to be the tallest building. That is the central conflict and his only interest. Completely empty and completely pointless.The daughter is, by far, the only actor that was having fun doing this abomination. She wants a cat. Thats the other conflict. A total no brainer, am I right? Buy a cat, or a dog or some pet she can enjoy. Or justify a reason why not. What does this thing does? The dad buys a cat from a weird guy (Captain Koons or Christopher Walken, What happened to you man?) And by some method never explained he is transferred or something into the cat's body. His body gets into a coma and the weird guy tells him that he has to be a good cat before he dies... In a way that I can't explain before attempting suicide.So the dad does what he can to try to tell his family he is the cat: drinking (totally deadly for a cat), writing (or almost) and being an insufferable a****** with everyone... which is as cat as you can get!Really boring if not completely stupid hi-jinks happen (I am using hi-jinks in the loosest way possible) and he becomes dad again... after killing the cat after jumping a 200 stories building. Or not. It is never explained how the cat appears at the end alive with nothing broken. And his building is the tallest at the end! Yay?.The CGI is atrocious. A blind from a pacific island could have considered it an abomination by any standard.The music never fits with the situation. It is always that wacky tune we have had in movies since Home alone.The "villains" are not only likable, but are justifiably angry about the attitude of their ****** boss and are actually doing a favor to the company. But **** them! said the script. And they got ****** by a deus ex machina so illegal that the pedophile matrix got an erection.With the exception of the daughter every feminine character is so pointless you could have substituted them with a broom with a cardboard drawing nailed to them and you could have gotten the same effect.For me as a cat owner, the people that thought this piece of garbage have never seen a cat outside of a kindergarten drawing.In short: for liking this movie you need to a) not know what a cat is b) have no logic in your brain c) have an IQ under zero d) being able to not notice obvious stupidity and e) like cat videos on the internet. Avoid this piece of garbage.
buffyvssatan Right from the start, the protagonist (Tom Brand) says that he hates cats. Not a great start for a movie that will mainly attract viewers who loves cats. It gets worse because at the end of the movie, he still hates cats.Brand goes to a pet shop to adopt a cat for his daughter. The owner is obviously a cat lover. His pet shop feels more like a cat shop, yet the cats are kept in tiny bird cages. What's up with that?This same pet shop owner later faces a security agent who is about to throw the cat (Tom Brand) in a garbage container. His reaction is to kindly ask the agent to give him back the cat and softly thanks him afterwards. What? Why wasn't he at least a little bit shocked?There are other reasons why this movie doesn't care at all about cats, but I won't list them all. In the end, this movie is more realistic than some might think as the animal is just being used to entertain the viewers and serve the human protagonist's interest. Watch "A Street Cat Named Bob" instead.
