Summary: Funny, But.......
Review: Some parts of the movie are pretty funny. but for the most part this movie stinks. It was boring.

Rating: 3 stars
Summary: Good potential falls short
Review: Most reviews here illustrate the ambiguity of this film. It is an example of what happens when you start making a movie with a script for an older and more sophisticated audience (believe it or not, it was once!), then present it stylistically to pander to a very young audience. I think this ends up leaving viewers to have split decisions on it.

I worked on this film and saw its evolution from an exciting idea to a freaky-feeling homage to cartoons of yesteryear (ones that many young kids cannot relate to as much as Harry Potter or Pokemon - which, btw, have MUCH more violence than this does). Many ideas and plot points were cut after audience testing - many more than revealed in Larry's commentary - which would have possibly bridged the age gap ala Shrek. Seeing the final cut begs the question, why did WB marketing change their minds? I guess the answer is that it became one of their highest grossing films this year.

Personally I'd give 5 stars to the Russian cat which looks fantastic, 0 stars to the goofy rocket sleds, and its saving grace was that most cinematography and voice acting held up surprisingly well, given some of the bizarre directing decisions.

Rating: 3 stars
Summary: Boring but funny at parts
Review: The whole concept of talking animals certainly isn't new to anyone. This movie about secret societies of Cats and Dogs warring didn't present a new concept either. It was mildly amusing during some parts of the movie. But other than that it was a way to waste time.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: cats and dogs
Review: I watched cats and dogs in theaters and then i rented it. i absolutely love it. it is the classic time old battle of cats and dogs. Except in this case, the cats are the evil ones. but if you were a cat you would consider a dog an enemy and visa versa. i hope that u enjoy this movie as much as i have.

Rating: 4 stars
Summary: CATS & DOGS rule!
Review: How cute is this movie? Very cute! I enjoyed it a lot. The special effects are great. It's basically about cats wanting to take over the world and it's up to the dogs to stop them. Yes, they talk which makes it even better! CATS & DOGS is filled with laughs from start to finish. The interations between the cats, dogs, and humans are hilarious and well done. CATS & DOGS battle it out in this slapstick comedy. Who will come out the winner? You'll have to watch it to find out.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Great Movie!
Review: I saw this movie in the movie theaters. It was awesome!!!

Rating: 2 stars
Summary: winner: DOGS
Review: in films, usually the good guys win. Well the dogs were the good guys and the cats were the bad guys. The cats dont DIE they just suffer. You'll find out when you see the film yourself. The have a little war to claim who is better: cats or dogs. You must watch it to see the rest.

Rating: 4 stars
Summary: Wonderful fun!
Review: It doesn't hurt to be a cat person either to really appreciate it :~) . Very entertaining and great fun. It is really good to have movies that you can watch with your kids w/o covering their eyes throughout the whole movie.

A great family time movie.

Enjoy!

Summary: Cats and Dogs - not worth the effort.
Review: I have to admit - I bought this movie because the short clips of it looked so entertaining. I also have a Persian cat and I thought the animation would be wonderful. Well, to put it bluntly - if you have a Persian, DO NOT see this movie. To see that beautiful face in a hideous, twisted form is heartbreaking. But enough..what about the film? Disappointing. I was expecting a lot more from the story line and a lot less of stupid, mean-spirited behavior. I did not enjoy seeing a dog run into a glass wall; nor did I enjoy see a cat flying into an open window and crashing, etc. My kids will not be seeing this film, into the trash can it goes. This is a film the Humane Society should banish...

Rating: 4 stars
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.
