  1. In this case, it's considerably better, adapting the 007 template in a story of a crazed bald cat named Kitty Galore (voiced by a hissing, chichi Bette Midler) and her malevolent plot to conquer the world. It's brilliant in its simplicity
  2. A clever, funny movie that will entertain kids and adults.
  3. 38
    Tedious time-killer of a kiddie comedy.
  4. Parents in a masochistic mood can compound the headache-inducing experience by paying extra for the 3-D version.

  1. This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. When I was growing up the first Cats and Dogs came out, however I'm now all grown up and have no feelings of love towards it, so when I had to take my cousin to see it, you could say I was horrified I liked the original in the first place. Where to start, the acting, CG and story are all inept. I will say Marmaduke looks worse but that's not a whole lot of praise Expand
  2. I don't see why people don't like it. well I do. It was great entertainment, perfect visuals, and great comedy.
  3. A cute film, but don't expect anything too different or new from the first film.
    Final Score: C+
  4. 1
    When I was growing up the first Cats and Dogs came out, however I'm now all grown up and have no feelings of love towards it, so when I had to take my cousin to see it, you could say I was horrified I liked the original in the first place. Where to start, the acting, CG and story are all inept. I will say Marmaduke looks worse but that's not a whole lot of praise. Overall I'd say if your child is around 5 s/he be entertained. But at around 7+ I'd recommend renting something Expand
