San Francisco ChronicleAmy Biancolli
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

VarietyJoe Leydon
A faster, funnier follow-up in which CGI-enhanced canines and felines effect a temporary truce to combat a common enemy. Read full review

St. Louis Post-DispatchJoe Williams
Between the carefully trained animals and their computer-animated mouths, the movie doesn't have much room for realism; but the 3-D effects are surprisingly effective, and this playful pic earns a pat on the head. Read full review

New York PostBilly Heller
With action aplenty, talking animals and enough gags to make any sane grown-up groan, "The Revenge of Kitty Galore" is a harmless but fun hot-weather diversion for the family. Read full review

Arizona RepublicBill Goodykoontz
A clever, funny movie that will entertain kids and adults. Read full review

The Hollywood ReporterKirk Honeycutt
This isn't so much that the story and characters are weak -- though they very much are -- but that animatronics and computer animation so anthropomorphize these critters that they bear more resemblance to cartoons than actual flesh-and-fur animals. Read full review

Boston GlobeTy Burr
Stands to delight small children while probably causing their parents' heads to cave in. Read full review

USA TodayClaudia Puig
Though better than its 2001 predecessor -- and teeming with cute creatures and fast and furious action scenes -- the movie feels excessively formulaic. Read full review

Tampa Bay TimesSteve Persall
The movie is geared to preschoolers, so only parents dragged with them may complain. There's only that Looney Tunes overture to savor before the Acme production begins. Read full review

EmpireIan Nathan
Nine years on from the first movie but somehow the effects have gone backwards and the charm has gone missing. Read full review

Orlando SentinelRoger Moore
Tedious time-killer of a kiddie comedy. Read full review

Philadelphia InquirerSteven Rea
Parents in a masochistic mood can compound the headache-inducing experience by paying extra for the 3-D version. Read full review

The New York TimesMike Hale
Mostly, though, "Kitty Galore" is a grind, as well as proof that "What up, dog?" isn't any funnier when a pigeon says it to a dog. Read full review

Austin ChronicleMarc Savlov
Although it's great fun for the under-8 set and for those of us monitoring the chaos theory that is Nolte's career of late, this film is otherwise mediocre and features some of the most uninvolving 3-D CGI since "Clash of the Titans" earlier this year. Read full review

L.A. WeeklyMichelle Orange
About as unremarkable as a film about talking animals organized into competing intelligence agencies can be. Read full review

Entertainment WeeklyAdam Markovitz
No movie -- whether aimed at adults or kids or canines themselves -- has the right to be as tiresome and unoriginal as this action-comedy mutt. Read full review

The Globe and Mail (Toronto)Jennie Punter
Aside from uninspired movie-parody gags, Cats & Dogs: The Revenge of Kitty Galore suffers from gadget overload. Read full review

Washington PostDan Kois
Is it mindless fun for the kids in an air-conditioned environment? I guess, sure, but it's maddening how many details in Cats & Dogs: The Revenge of Kitty Galore are swiped wholesale from other stories. Read full review

Boxoffice MagazineSteve Ramos
Fails to deliver enough clever gags, emotional warmth, or eye-popping 3D to compete with recent family releases. Read full review

Los Angeles TimesGlenn Whipp
As for the movie itself, it is better than the original "Cats & Dogs." But so is a rabies shot. Read full review

The James Bond parodies and genre riffs feel at least 20 years past their prime, and most will fly right over the heads of audience members 7 and under Read full review

And it's still, in the spirit of the original film, an unbelievable piece of sh--. Read full review
