Brightlyme i know i wasted 90 mins of my life.

AshUnow This is a small, humorous movie in some ways, but it has a huge heart. What a nice experience.

Married Baby Just intense enough to provide a much-needed diversion, just lightweight enough to make you forget about it soon after it’s over. It’s not exactly “good,” per se, but it does what it sets out to do in terms of putting us on edge, which makes it … successful?

Fleur Actress is magnificent and exudes a hypnotic screen presence in this affecting drama.

Sean Tomasetto Much like Orpheus walked into the dark depths of Hades, I myself peered into the fiery brimstone and ashen realm of Hell to find a movie so bad, so detestable, that it makes everything else ever produced in this world look like The Godfather. A movie so utterly terrible that even Michael Bay would cringe at the mere sight of it. I am, of course, talking about A Talking Cat!?! By David DeCoteau.Yes, I did not add those punctuation marks. The legitimate title of this movie is: A Talking Cat!?! It seems even the film itself is confused to how anybody allowed it to be produced. This movie was created in 2013. Unsurprisingly, it was a Direct-To- DVD release. That means that this abomination was not shown off in theaters, which is a relief, as the poor children who watched it would have had their eyeballs burned to oblivion.The only redeemable quality in this film is how laughably bad it is. It makes for good entertainment if you just want to lie around, feel like absolute garbage, and riff a children's movie about a talking cat who speaks with his lips MS- Painted on. No, really, that's how the beast talks. His mouth is digitally painted black to represent an open mouth, but instead resembles an unending void of chaos and despair, hoping to leech away at this mortal coil.Before we discuss the plot, let's talk about production. This movie had a budget of one-million dollars. One. Million. Dollars. I can only assume that a hundred bucks went into the actual movie, and the rest of the money went into all the crazy drugs they used while creating this flick. You know what else had a budget of one million dollars? Rocky. Rocky was a pretty good film. That proves that it was not the budget that decided the quality of this movie. The reason A Talking Cat!?! is so bad is because Mr. DeCoteau was probably too busy tripping to be worried about, oh, I don't know, how good his film is!But I digress. The film revolves around a….wait for it….talking cat. What a shock. He is voiced by Eric Roberts. Do you know who that is? Neither do I. The gruff-voice for the tiny cat is pretty surprising, but even more surprising then that is that Roberts spent 15 minutes recording dialogue for this film in his living room. Only 15 minutes. For a professional voice actor, and the main character, that is not enough time.The cat protagonist, named Duffy, is a magical talking cat. Okay. I can believe that. But what I can't believe is that this talking is limited so that he can only speak to a person once, and just once. What kind of a lame power is that? If you're only going to have one line for each character in the movie (note: 6 characters in the movie) then why call this movie A Talking Cat!?! if said talking cat barely even talks?We get to see how the cat helps people with their problems. Specifically, a father named Phil, played by Johnny Whitaker, who is like if that one scientist from Jurassic Park became twice as eccentric and three times as obnoxious. Who are the other characters, you ask? Who cares? They barely deserve any recognition. I looked up the four other actors, and it says a lot that their most prominent work is A Talking Cat!?! This movie is like a plague. If you are in any way involved in it, you've dug your own grave.Let's get into the conflict of the movie. Phil's son, WhatsHisFace, is mean to his father. Why? I don't even know. The father, even though he decorates the inside of his house with trees and weird statues, doesn't seem like a bad guy. So why's the son hostile to him? To drive the plot. That's all this movie is. An awful talking cat and a bunch of things that only exist to drive the plot. The rest of the story is just nonsense. Half of it's not even story. At least a third of the movie are establishing shots of forests and characters slowly walking up stairs or empty hallways. This movie makes me physically ill to watch. It's almost as if somebody crafted this piece just to torture me for all of eternity. If you get to buy one DVD this year, don't buy A Talking Cat!?! Wait, no. Better idea. Buy the DVD and then burn it. Burn it to the ground. The satisfaction that you will get from destroying this film will be worth the money.

Di Bobi So this was for real made in 2013? When I was in my early teens in the 90's I was able to produce more realistic visual effects with no skills whatsoever.I mean, really, in this day and age it takes literally zero skill to buy CrazyTalk or similar software to easily make your cat "talk" and not embarrass yourself and all the people involved in this... uh... movie...Why in the world do people with no movie knowledge and skills whatsoever chose to do movies? Find something you're GOOD at, and do that.And no, I don't recommend watching this because only just a few scenes are joyfully laughable, because they're utterly ridiculous, the rest is boring and makes no sense. Just watch the JonTron review of the movie for the highlights or something.The fact that "movies" like this actually exist is fascinating. It shows that we failed as a species.

rhemfelt1 From the director of such homoerotic thrillers as Leather Jacket Love Story, Beastly Boyz, and Body Blow comes the thrilling erotic adventures of a young confused transsexual teen and his lovable but ineptly schizophrenic father. There's also a talking cat. Set in an imaginary land far away where the white spruce lined mountains of Wisconsin are only a mere 5 minute walk from the white sandy beaches of Hawaii, A Talking Cat's impressive 3 establishing shots of creeks and bridge will leave you breathless. This wild adventure will take you through the intricate inner workings of unfinished logarithm data, a deeply troubled millionaire paranoid schizophrenic man-child, and delicious homemade cheese puffs.The undisputed high point of the movie is the deeply touching underage homoerotic swimming lesson cut tragically short in a dramatic confrontation by a mother unable to cope with her daughter's unfortunate combination of ambition, competence, and integrity. With a wonderfully crafted cell phone recorded/engineered voice-over cameo by Eric Roberts, this cinematic masterpiece is one the entire family can enjoy.

jmfabiano524-1 When I saw the ?!? in the title, I knew I was in for something truly epic. I mean, if it wasn't they wouldn't use exclamation marks, right? And I was not disappointed. Eric Roberts gives the performance of a lifetime as the titular talking cat, who brings a family together and helps a young man explore his sexuality. And the special effects! Puts George Lucas' best to shame...come on now, you can't say Duffy the cat is NOT better than Jar Jar Binks! Saying you hate this movie is worse than joining al-Qaeda. I hear people who admitted so much are on wanted posters in post offices. And I have never seen a prop I envied more than the half-a-car furniture the lead characters had. Where do I buy such couches? This should have become a nationwide fad the moment this film came out! And the cheese ball subplot...just scintillating stuff! This film has so many dimensions I could write a book about it. In fact, I think I will. I feel I will improve our society as a whole if only they knew about A Talking Cat?!? Anyway, go see this movie NOW. It is a modern classic.
