Only a sourpuss could fail to be amused by this movie's sight gags and action sequences or to be charmed by its lighthearted good humor.

Report
Loved this silly movie as a kid. Cats turning into villains and TAKING OVER THE WORLD, and only special dog agents can stop them. This is a kids movie through and through, and mature audiences (and cat lovers) probably won't enjoy it. Objectively it's probably terrible and it's been decades since I've watched it but I won't apologize for liking it.

This special-effects animal-action comedy is for heavily identified pet owners.
Inoffensive fun that kids will love and adults will likely love too, it's a middle of the road affair, but a far cry from roadkill.
It is never less than interesting. But who wants interesting from a movie called Cats & Dogs? It needs to grab the audience by the scruff of the neck and shake it.
The premise is tragically flawed and politically incorrect. In fact, it is blatantly cat-ist.
Grindingly tedious.
movie of my childhood. rest assured you will enjoy watching it. it is funny rave, that does not pretend to be a high art. but if you haven't seen it 10 years ago, do not watch it, because you won't understand this trash and won't enjoy it.

You need look no further than the back of the DVD case to realize "Cats & Dogs" is going to be a cheesy CGI romp-fest from the get-go. And trust me it, it is a VERY cheesy, VERY CGI romp-fest, right down to the "Mission Impossible"-styled music and gadgetry, ninja cats, and a feline thirsting for world domination by way of a plan centering around a scientist's upcoming formula for a dog allergy cure. The story? Eh. The effects? It might take some work to get past them at points. The only reason I still kinda like this movie is because, for however many times it falls flat, there is some memorable comedy to be found mostly from the main cat villain. "Stand still I need to crush you." "I want you to stay here. Because I hate you." This is another of those rather over-the-top, silly villains, but here there are a handful of moments that I think make the movie well worth watching every now and again. Hell, at a few points it even comes close to being emotionally heartfelt. It's another guilty pleasure for me.

Cats and Dogs is just your average talking-animals movie. This movie is made up of horrible fake-looking GCI, lackluster dialogue, pointless gags, and no real charm. It seems as if no effort was placed into this film. This movie is laughably bad, and should be avoided.

The people who say this movie is "incredible" IS LYING TO THEIR SELF. This movie is like that terrible show Dog With A Blog but a bit worse. THIS MOVIE ****!
