Reviews
Whitech It is not only a funny movie, but it allows a great amount of joy for anyone who watches it.
Stephan Hammond It is an exhilarating, distressing, funny and profound film, with one of the more memorable film scores in years,
Mandeep Tyson The acting in this movie is really good.
Cheryl A clunky actioner with a handful of cool moments.
ricardopayao32 Movie is indeed kind of bad produced, and the script is odd, but the whole story is very interesting and ludic to catlovers like me. (I hope no cat were harmed or subject to any kind of pain in order to do the tricks were there were no GFX). I cried in the end, there is simple life lessons built into it, it is really nice mild entertainment. Loved it on a brainwasher context (which everybody needs sometimes)
eccoupe This is an atrocity. The bes part of the movie is in the beginning when they show a bunch of famous cat videos. Then they have Kevin Spacey sky dive onto a building that he owns and it all goes down hill from there. Kevin Spacey turns into a cat, and it just keeps getting worse. Don't waste your time with this garbage. It will only cost you your sanity.
Neil Welch Business tycoon Tom Brand is preoccupied with the imminent opening of his new skyscraper. But then, there's always some aspect of his business which occupies his every waking moment. That's why his first marriage failed (he is distanced from son David, who works for him), and his second is going the same way although he is, at least, prevailed upon to buy a cat for daughter Rebecca's birthday. Cat salesman Purrkins, however, is able to work a magical tweak to put Tom into the body of Mr Fuzzypants, there to remain until he learns his lesson or forever, whichever comes first. Factor the nefarious plans of executive Ian to take over the company in Tom's absence, and there are real problems ahead for Tom. Er, Mr Fuzzypants. Oh, whatever.This film, pitched at kids, is quite entertaining, but contains no surprises whatsoever for anyone who has watched this sort of film before. The story works well enough, but the script runs along tramlines. That said, the cat special effects are quite good (and the real life cats will be appealing to feliphiles), there are some decent jokes along the way, Christopher Walken as Purrkins is superb (playing straightfaced but with a twinkle in his eye) and young Malina Weissman as Rebecca is a delight. She is also the spitting image of Jennifer Warner, who plays her mother.Kevin Spacey disappoints: his reading of Mr Fuzzypants' lines could often have been improved upon (sez I, from the lofty heights of the Best Actor Oscar I haven't got).Purrkins joins a long string of god-machinery characters in juvenile fiction - Mary Poppins, Elliot in Pete's Dragon, Nanny McPhee - who spring from nowhere in order to provide magical resolutions for kids' problems. This is not a bad thing in a morality tale: children deserve magical solutions to problems. Because - note the key words from two paragraphs ago - "Pitched At Kids."
Psy-Ko I thoroughly enjoyed this movie! Really didn't expect to but I found myself laughing throughout and when it was over I had that feel good feeling. It reminded me of the old Disney movies I grew up with. Shaggy D.A., Herbie, Apple Dumpling Gang. You have your good guys, your bad guys, the one who seems bad but really just needs to learn whats important. I think most kids would enjoy it and there's nothing bad in it that parents have to worry about. Worst thing I can think of was a castration joke, which if a kid understands what that is already they're not going to be shocked by it. If they don't know what it is then it's going to go right over their head.Full disclosure - I do love animals, and may be partial to cats so I suppose that might make me a bit biased towards this movie so I will say if you hate cats it may not be the movie for you.
