SoftInloveRox Horrible, fascist and poorly acted
Phonearl Good start, but then it gets ruined
AutCuddly Great movie! If you want to be entertained and have a few good laughs, see this movie. The music is also very good,
Bob This is one of the best movies I’ve seen in a very long time. You have to go and see this on the big screen.
rjun67 At my age I just wanna grab a beer and sit down to a good movie, not much to ask! A Talking Cat, seemed like a good idea at the time so I chucked it into the DVD player, let me tell you, I was unprepared for such an exciting roller-coaster of emotion. The great Eric Roberts voice's Duffy (A talking cat) in an audio style which (from my submarine days)reminds me of the underwater telephone! The gist of the story is about 2 Brady bunch type families who are brought together by Duffy's Mary Poppins-like magical powers. Duffy has a near fatal accident near the end, but survives with the help of a badly fitted bandage wrapped around his head. I can recommend this film to anyone, its almost perfect, beautiful photography, faultless performances by an A-list cast, a plot that makes 'The usual suspects' seem like an episode of Teletubbies, special effects that would give George Lucas a few sleepless nights and Eric Roberts proving that he is up there with Olivier, Gielgud and Heston.
chow913 Where oh where to begin? How about with the director's credits of TEN films a year for the past five years!!! Is it any surprise they're all horrible? Maybe he's just trying to outdo Godfrey Ho's record of five films a year. He should learn from Ho and use unreleased Hong Kong romantic comedy footage redubbed to pad out his films instead of just the opening credits.Just to clarify, this movie is NOT about a "talking" cat and is NOT about "a family" and the characters do NOT have "problems" (other than being boring) and the cat shown in IMDb's images is NOT the cat in the movie. So as usual IMDb can't get basic facts about the film right.So anyway, this film is about two neighboring families, a widower and his son, and a middle aged single mother. What's going on in their lives? NOTHING!!! There no conflict or narrative hook at all!!! The characters just sit around texting or playing video games. Even the characters are bored with their own movie.The only thing happening is a cat wanders in and out of their California homes. Wow, a cat, narrated by Eric Roberts. So an actor who's built his whole career playing stalkers, rapists, slimeballs, and other criminals is cast to voice a female cat in a children's film? By "narrated" I mean he's (or she's since the cat's female) "talking" to the audience NOT the people actually in the movie!!!The cat doesn't actually do ANYTHING!!! That's why cats make such poor subject matter for films. Think about how many films come to mind based around cats. Disney's 'That Darn Cat' and a Hammer Horror B&W film about a murder victim coming back as a cat to avenge his death. No, Stephen King's 'Cat's Eye' really isn't about a cat. It just had a cat in it!Let's face it, house cats don't do anything but lounge around. So why should we be surprised by the results of film based around a cat.I didn't even recognize the fat middle aged blonde as Kristine DeBell the cutie from 'Meatballs' and 'Battle Creek Brawl' who previously worked as a hardcore porn actress. And when I say "hardcore" I mean "HARDCORE" quadruple penetration! (not kidding)This movie is gouge your eyes out bad.
Xenomaster I recently watched this "film" for my podcast, where we solely review awful movies. I painstakingly sat through it twice with a stopwatch and timed all of the runtime of the movie spent on establishing shots (there are FIFTY-SEVEN OF THEM), credits, and shots of the cat lying or waddling around. This sums up the movie better than anything:Between the credits, establishing shots, and shots of the cat, those all take up THIRTY PERCENT OF THE 83-MINUTE RUNTIME. I have never seen a movie that so blatantly pads its runtime with scenery. And what's scarier than that is that there are literally dozens of instances (that I didn't time with the stopwatch) where the human characters are shown doing nothing but sitting and looking at things for several minutes at a time, or walking up stairs, or standing and looking at random objects. It is pathetic how poorly edited and shot this movie is.Literally nothing happens in this movie. If you don't believe me, go see it. You'll go cross-eyed before you ever find anything resembling a plot. If this thing was competently made just from a sheer editing standpoint, it would be 4 minutes long...if that.
bps3013 I defy anyone to make it through this direct to video disaster in one sitting. I know I couldn't. There is nothing, NOTHING even remotely redeemable about this mess. Zero production values, a canned and looped music score that would be far more fitting for interrogations of enemies of the state, painful performances from has been's (WTF how desperate were Kristine DeBell and Johnny Whittaker in order for them to debase themselves like this?!) along with a talentless cast of young up and comers, and -the coup de gras- the most unbelievable "talking cat" effect you will ever see. This entire video (I refuse to call it a movie) is an endurance test for only the most brave of souls. Your rage will set in after the first fifteen minutes, and from there on out it's a battle of wills to see who will emerge victorious. Many have tried. All have perished. Consider this your only warning.
