I recently purchased this emotional journey on DVD. It arrived in the post a couple of days ago, and tonight I sat down with my family to watch what wonders dreams are made of. I was not disappointed. Within five minutes my mother turned to me, and said calmly, "Don't buy anymore DVDs". My sister was quite emphatic throughout about her feelings. She begged me to turn it off, but I did not. She soon changed her tune when the two young men began to develop a special bond in the swimming pool. We watched on in awe. Emotions ran high. We laughed, we cried. By the end, I was sure something felt familar. The location, the level of quality, the Eric Roberts. It turns out this was made by the same people as 2014's biggest blockbuster Bigfoot Versus D.B.Cooper. Well done guys, lightning does strike twice!

... View MoreYep, that about sums it up.I'm writing this review mostly because I feel compassion for Johnnie Whitaker, who deserved something better. I also feel it for the relatively inexperienced teenage actors, because they did, too. And Eric Roberts, well, I sincerely hope he got paid a lot for his literally phoned-in performance. Just a whole lot of money.So, this "movie" (as it's been categorized). Awkward conversations that don't advance the plot, an endless series of establishing shots, and the longest and most pointless closing credit sequence ever cut together are the things you will find here. And very little else, it turns out.Well, maybe that's wrong: there's an inadvertently gay subtext. Oh and, yes, as another reviewer observed, there is indeed a talking cat that is a key part of the story somehow.
... View MoreWhen 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.
