The movie has one favourite part for me: When Lara (not Lara Croft LOL XD) put Mr.Fuzzypants (Tom as a cat) in her bed and she imitated (can't spell) cat purring. Also Ian Cox got fired

Another talking animal movie? Awful ending to a career. When you're so desperate for roles that you take on a movie like this, you know it's the end. Kevin Spacey has made some great films in the past but this really was a bad decision. I'll just forget this happened...

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.

Cat lovers out there who spend a large amount of time watching cat videos, this movie is for you. It is a feel-good film, and there isn't anything to criticize about the movie. Bad reviews are probably due to people expecting way too much from every other movies. Sometimes, you just have to watch a movie to enjoy the simple things.I watched it for the cats, and I wasn't disappointed. The best thing was how they captured each and every single expressions, movements and activities of cats in general and put them to use in the movie. We find ourselves wondering why cats do certain things, and this movie somehow has the answers to those questions from a fictional point of view.Watch it for the cats.
