Summary: Not as bad as I thought
Review: This movie was not bad. I like Cats and Dogs. It was about a dog who got kidnap. Lou (voice of Tobey Maguire from Spider Man) was the replacement. He sees a new friend Butch. (Alec Baldwin narrator of Thomas The Tank Engine and starred in Thomas and the Magic Railroad.) There was a Saluki hound dog, (Susan Saradon from Rugrats In Paris The Movie,) a shaggy sheep dog, (Michael Clark Duncan,) and a Chinesse hairless teckno geek named Peek. (Joe Pantanoliano.) All of these dogs Lou meet.

Rating: 3 stars
Summary: Pretty Good, Though A Little Far-Fetched
Review: I liked the movie. It wasn't bad. But of course that is partly because I am a dog lover. I'm not saying I hate cats, I just like dogs better. The movie had many funny parts. I always crack up at the part where Mr. Tinkles is getting a bath. But if you are a cat lover you might not enjoy this film as much. On the other hand, if you are a dog lover you will find that this is a cute, funny, movie about the constant battle between cats and dogs(If there even is one). I know some people who have both dogs and cats and they get along just fine(In fact, they love each other). This just comes to prove that the movie is pretty good, though a little far-fetched.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: A very funny movie
Review: When the unlucky pup, Lou (voice provided by Tobey Maguire), finds himself selected for a new home, he is quite happy. However, Lou was not supposed to go to that home. It seems that the eccentric Professor Brody (played by Jeff Goldblum) is working on a formula that will end allergies to dogs. However, the evil cat, Mr. Tinkles (Sean Hayes) will stop at nothing to seize the Brody's, and it is up to the dog secret agents - and Lou ' to protect them. Is Lou up to the task? Watch and see! [Color, released in 2001, with a running time of 1 hour, 27 minutes.]

This is a very funny movie. It is rated PG, but this is apparently for the violence between the cats and dogs, which is carried on in a cartoonish manner that no one in my family found disturbing. Instead, the whole clan enjoyed this hilarious movie, and we all highly recommend it to you and your family!

Rating: 4 stars
Summary: The Fur is Flying!
Review: This movie wasn't as funny as I had excepted it to be. But that doesn't mean that it wasn't enjoyable.

It takes a while for this movie to get going, having to get past the first dog/cat chase scene which seemed kind of fake. For a while, I was afraid that the whole movie would look this bad. But, gratefully, the paws were put firmly on the ground and the laughs began to roll.

Warner Brothers made this movie to be a kids movie, opting to bypass placing references, gags, and puns that only the adults would get. It is rated PG, but only because of the intensity involved by our four-legged friends.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: This movie was great
Review: Take your child to see this movie a very funny and wired movie about how dogs and cats act when the people are away.

Rating: 1 stars
Summary: I Must Have Seen a Different Movie Than Everyone Else
Review: After about 15 minutes it was mind-numbingly boring. I Fell asleep not long after that. I have a dog and a cat and I like them both but the movie was one big yawn...

Rating: 1 stars
Summary: For the love of God, do a film that focuses on cat lovers!
Review: I saw the trailer for the movie, and I heard about it from an upcoming magazine. I expected a film where cats and dogs team up to stop an evil HUMAN, hear me, HUMAN, who wants to rule the universe. But NOOOO, instead I get a movie with dogs as 'MAN'S BEST FRIEND' and cats as snarling, evil, brutal monsters. I'm not a dog hater-- I own a fat, cute dog called Pig-- but I love cats...
As I was saying, the plot was weak, and the animation looked like something from the Muppets. Great for puppets, but NOT for talking animals. And I hated the scene with the dog catapulting the cat... And what's with this cheesy family stuff? And another thing... Egyptains worshipped cats because they CHOSE to, not because cats MADE them. They believed that cats had special powers and knew all of history that lay before them. And that's why. Also, the "Russian" kitten was adorable, but as soon as I saw what he really was I unearthed another reason to hate the film-- it made a mockery of my beloved cat Snickers. Snickers was a Russian Bleu and the gentlest, most trustworthy cat I knew. She was always by my side, warned us when something was wrong, and made a wonderful sleeping companion. THIS is not what they show us about the cats in this movie. To make it simple, they show all the PROS in dogs, and they show all the CONS in cats. This is wrong. They did that a million times! When is someone going to come to their senses and make the DOGS evil for once, just to relieve the 1,000,000 cat lovers in our nation? And let us not forget that dogs can also be snarling, evil, brutal monsters.
I was enraged by this film. All of you cat lovers who gave it a low rating: TWO THUMBS UP!!! I SALUTE YOU!!!

Rating: 3 stars
Summary: Interesting.......
Review: Cats and Dogs was brought to my attention as an awesome movie. One of the best to come out. So with that assumption, I sat down and watched it. It turned out to be a movie that I wouldn't have felt bad about if I hadn't seen it. I didn't find it good enough to rate it 4 stars and not bad enough for 2. So my rating is actually 3 1/2 stars.

Cats and Dogs is, I must admit, funny movie. The Kung-fu cat and Mr. Tinkles are characters that added to the movie and made it funny. But it lacks in grabbing and keeping your attention. The plot of a cat that wants to take over the world and get rid of dogs is not original and therefore was not very interesting to me.

Having said my opinion, I will add that this is a enjoyable movie for kids and although I didn't find it great, your children might find it awesome. So, if the little ones are begging to see it, I suggest that you rent it first. If you find it good enough to own, that's wonderful. But Cats and Dogs is a movie that will not be residing on my movie shelf.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: What a funny movie
Review: This movie is funny, why I give it two thumbs up including the cast: Jeff Goldblum, Elizabeth Perkins, Alexander Pollock, and Miriam Margoyles. I give it 5 stars.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Technologically Advanced War between Cats and Dogs is a hit!
Review: Critique
When I first viewed the trailer and the behind the scenes footage for this movie, I was very excited to view it. This film is good, clean, and downright fun to watch. The tedious time spent on the special effects for the dogs and cats to do stunts and talking is absolutely amazing. Don't let the PG rating fool you adults! I appreciate the film maker's strive to bring this film to not only children, but to its teen and adult audience. Animal aficionados will adore this action-packed, emotional, and comedic film about the war between cats and dogs.

Plot
The dog species actually has an intelligent agency behind it with trained agents protecting man kind 24/7 against the evil plots of cats. When the Brody family dog is catnapped the Dog HQ Agency calls in an elite team of puppies to have one picked to replace the family dog. The Brody family father (Jeff Goldblum) is developing a formula to stop the allergy some humans have with dogs. By accident a beagle is the replacement and must help protect the family with the assistance of the other dogs. From there cats try to kill the beagle (Lou), but fail as Lou learns quickly the prerequisites of a dog agent. The whole family will enjoy this exciting, positive, comedic film from start to end!

Pros:
1. Meticulous special effects used to create the communication and fights between the cats and dogs.
2. Excellent plot
3. Great voices of the felines and canines by brilliant actors. (i.e. John Lovitz, Charlton Heston, Susan Sarandon, Tobey Maguire, and Sean Hayes)
4. Incorporated use of highly advanced technological equipment is very entertaining to watch.

Cons:
1. None
