Summary: "Cats and Dogs" is a cute flick!
Review: "Cats and Dogs" is the story of scientist Professor Brody (Jeff Goldblum) who is working on a cure for all dog allergies. It's up to the dogs to protect his work from the evil cats lead by Mr. Tinkles (Sean Hayes). The cat's plan: to reverse the chemical for curing dog allergy to making it so when humans take it, they will be allergic to all dogs. Then cats will rule the world. But instead of the dog leader Agent Butch (Alec Baldwin) getting a professional replacement for retired agent Buddy, he gets a young beagle puppy, Lou (Tobey Maguire), instead.Has a pretty simple plot with some hilarious parts. Yet very stupid, with the animation very, very obvious like the 'ninja kitties'. Reminded me a lot of "102 Dalmations" except this movie has James Bond 007 thrown in. But the biggest reason for giving this movie 4 stars is the voice talents from stars Alec Baldwin (one of my most favorite actors in his role in "The Hunt for Red October"), Tobey Maguire, Sean Hayes, Susan Sarandon (Played with another one of my favorite actors Kevin Costner in "Bull Durham"), Joe Pantoliano ("The Matrix", "The Fugitive", and "U.S. Marshals"), and Charlton Heston ("Ben Hur", "Ten Commandments" and "Planet of the Apes"). It was pretty fun for me to watch the movie and guess whose voice was whose. Got most of it correct. The other reason for giving it 4 stars was the humor for some of the humor was funny, others not. Favorite parts are: Sean Hayes as Mr. Tinkles when forced to where a bonnet: "Does evil where a bonnet?" Jeff Goldblum as Professor Brody, thinking there's a burglar in the house: "I've got a mitt and I'm not afraid to use it." Alec Baldwin as Butch, when Lou (Toby Maguire) tries to eat an dynamite disguised as a cookie: "That would have been the shortest assignment in history." And more but can't write it all down. All-in-all, a pretty cute flick for maybe young kids and adults, not much for teenagers I think.

Summary: Cats & Dogs -- Popkorn Junkie's (and my) review
Review: "Cats and Dogs" was a promising looking movie: it had talking cats and dogs (sounds like fun!). Not only did the film have talking cats and dogs, but most of the cats and dogs were secret agents and had lots of cool "Mission Impossible" like gizmos (sounds like even more fun!).
So let's recap, we've got talking cats and dogs and cool gizmos...seems like a good combination right? But we forgot one important ingredient: an interesting plot! As anyone can tell from the trailers, this movie is about cats and dogs (who talk don't forget) waging war on each other. Sure it's a funny concept, and the first 5 minutes of the film worked well using a sort of Tom and Jerry approach to the idea....but the remaining 90 minutes, the remaining 90 minutes was the problem. The meager plot (which took up the last 90 minutes of the movie) was about a young pup named, Lou who gets mistaken for a secret agent. Lou must guard a secret formula that would make humans not allergic to dogs. The cats want the formula destroyed for obvious reasons but somehow that gets mixed in with some weird plot for cats to take over the world. That's it. Nothing else happens and except for all the gags you saw in the trailer....nothing else in the movie is very funny. That is, unless you thinka cat saying "Cats rule!" every 5 minutes is funny. Ha....ha. No. Recommendation: Don't buy movie. It was boring. Don't even rent this movie. It was boring. If for some reason your kids force you to watch it on HBO...skip the popcorn and opt for some Vivarin, you and your kids will surely need it.

Summary: Cats, Dogs, Jeff Goldblum and Elizabeth Perkins!?!
Review: "Cats and Dogs" is a nice comedy about the secret war between
these two animals. There are a lot of funny moments, including
the kidnapping of the Brodies and others. Perhaps it is a little
too scary for little kids, but it surely is great entertainment.
Jeff Goldblum is the ideal cast for the role of Dr. Brody and
Elizabeth Perkins is very charming as the ditzy mother who has
no idea what is going on. All in all this film is about a B.

Summary: Great Family Fun!
Review: "Cats and Dogs" is one of those films that can appeal to parents as well as children. The cute fuzzy animals that provide the main focus are sure to satisfy the attention of any child, and the technological absurity of the conflict between these to-all-outward-appearances docile housepets is sure to amuse any parents. Like "Shrek," there are many jokes which are intended for the adult perspective (mostly in the vein of mocking James Bond films) and, additionally, there are some spectacular special effects which will appeal to all ages.
"Cats and Dogs" is one of those films that, if it had come out maybe five years ago, would have been instantly hailed as a classic. There is a sort of "Wizard of Oz" or "Mary Poppins" wizardry to it, but the special effects that it employs have become so commonplace that "Cats and Dogs" seems sort of twice-viewed even though this is its first run. This shouldn't be construed as a severe criticism, remember that "Wizard of Oz" on its second viewing is far more entertaining than most films are on their first. There is probably nothing in this movie that will dazzle you, but it will keep your attention, and there are plenty of laughs, so I recommend you go see it, especially if you have children.

Summary: Don't let your kids down with this movie
Review: "How can you hate a movie that features ninja Siamese cats wreaking havoc with their kung fu prowess?" Or so says the review of this terrible film. Perhaps this leading question should have been something more along the lines of, "How can you count the ways you hate this movie..." I enjoy most family films, but this one is just downright poor. The screenwriters, director, actors, producer, and even the best boys and grips affiliated with this movie apparently thought that children equates to "simple-minded." I cannot stand that attitude; most children today can understand and enjoy a story many orders of magnitude more complex and well-done than is presented here (you could drive a few trucks plus a cruise liner or two through the holes in this film). The creators of this movie simply use children as a cop out to create a horrid flick, and it comes off as an insult to the average child's intelligence and imagination. Many movies of my childhood are still as entertaining today as they were then, and there are countless modern children's films that I can watch with kids without a problem. This film just is not one of them.

Summary: HOW CUTE IS THIS?
Review: Absolutley adorable! Those are the words I have to use to
start my review of this outstanding movie. In this upbeat
film, we have man's best friend, the dog pitted against the
cat world. The cats, after all, are trying to make us their
slaves as we once were so long ago! Could that be possible?
I loved it.
The movie was full of action, had some tender moments and was
just plain fun.....a good time for everyone watching it!
Highly recommended!
