3.0 out of 5 stars Not a classic comedy, but good for a few laughs, April 4, 2009

This review is from: Cats & Dogs (Widescreen Version) (DVD)

The premise of the movie is clever. Dogs and cats can talk, think, build machines, and are in general as clever or more clever than we humans, but they just keep it all hidden. And they are in perpetual conflict against each other.

The plot is that a human (Jeff Goldblum) is on the verge of discovering a cure for dog allergies, and the cats want to reverse it an make all humans allergic to dogs. It's rather silly, and just furnishes a backdrop against which to show doghouses with sophisticated electronics, ninja cats, and other aspects of the cat vs. dog conflict.

Tobey McGuire (Spiderman) voices the protagonist dog, a puppy accidentally inserted into the conflict. Alex Baldwin, Joe Pantoliano, and Susan Sarandon do some of the other dogs. One of the great voices of our age, Charleton Heston is the leader of the dogs, but his part is brief. Sean Hayes gives a nice, over-the-top, supervillianesque performance as the cat antagonist, and Jon Lovitz does a good turn as his assistant. In general the animal voices are the highlight of the movie, along with the continually funny joke of the dogs possessing technology and intelligence about which we humans have no clue.

Elizabeth Perkins and Jeff Goldblum lead the cast of humans. Perkins is passable, but this is not one of Goldblum's better efforts. It's really the animal's show. I found the parts with the humans to be pretty boring.

The movie contains some good moments with the animals, though, such as the the Russian Blue cat operative breaking into the human's house. It balances out as something worth a watch for a Saturday afternoon popcorn movie, but probably not something you're going to drag out and watch every year or three.

This review is from: Cats & Dogs (Widescreen Version) (DVD)

This is an interesting movie. I'm an animal lovers and its fun to see the CGI making them humanely talking and in a "James Bond" type of setting. I did enjoy the story and the quality of the montage. Also the "making of" is a most see, how simple smart animal can do the trick and how the actor voice give them a personality. I'm more of a cat person I think they are smarter than dogs. In this production, the cats are kind-of the evil one, poor kitty. All animals are lovable and believable, it's a well done movie.

This is not a must have or a killer movie but to have fun, laughs and be entertained while eating popcorn, well I believe you will be satisfy of a well spend 10$. Kids and older-kids, animal lovers, will like it.
