ridiculous rating

How sad is this?

Good films always raise compelling questions, whether the format is fiction or documentary fact.

Great story, amazing characters, superb action, enthralling cinematography. Yes, this is something I am glad I spent money on.

Looking back at this movie, I realize that almost everything that I found funny about this movie isn't what it wanted me to find funny. While I was watching it, I was somehow under the impression that the bad cat CG and the bad child acting and the lack of logic was intentionally funny. Now that I'm thinking about it and looking back at this movie, it probably wasn't. This movie isn't that good if you're looking for a decent movie to watch, but if you're looking for a "so bad that its good" movie, then this movie is perfect. Its the perfect blend of nonsense and "actors" who couldn't care less that they're in a movie. I had a lot of fun watching this movie, but honestly its pretty bad.

This movie is the actual definition of having your brain dead. It fails in every way. My cat has defecated better arguments for movies than this. I never even smiled for this piece of cinematic abomination. People are saying "Hey, its for kids" So what? Kids need to be mentally challenged too. Imagine if the little mermaid just started by saying "Ariel was a mermaid. And she married the prince. We are not going to tell you how, but that's the point of the movie. The end. Thanks for the money!". That is how i felt through this entire movie.Lets start with the "hero" of the movie, the guy you are supposed to like (John Doe or Kevin Spacey... Seriously, what happened to you?): He is an egotistic selfish guy with anger issues that has been divorced because of how little he cares about his family, with a son that he does not care about even though they both work for the same company, a daughter that he does not care about and a new wife that he does not care about. His company makes money only for him and the rest of his employees can either shut up or go **** themselves. What does he care about? If his building is going to be the tallest building. That is the central conflict and his only interest. Completely empty and completely pointless.The daughter is, by far, the only actor that was having fun doing this abomination. She wants a cat. Thats the other conflict. A total no brainer, am I right? Buy a cat, or a dog or some pet she can enjoy. Or justify a reason why not. What does this thing does? The dad buys a cat from a weird guy (Captain Koons or Christopher Walken, What happened to you man?) And by some method never explained he is transferred or something into the cat's body. His body gets into a coma and the weird guy tells him that he has to be a good cat before he dies... In a way that I can't explain before attempting suicide.So the dad does what he can to try to tell his family he is the cat: drinking (totally deadly for a cat), writing (or almost) and being an insufferable a****** with everyone... which is as cat as you can get!Really boring if not completely stupid hi-jinks happen (I am using hi-jinks in the loosest way possible) and he becomes dad again... after killing the cat after jumping a 200 stories building. Or not. It is never explained how the cat appears at the end alive with nothing broken. And his building is the tallest at the end! Yay?.The CGI is atrocious. A blind from a pacific island could have considered it an abomination by any standard.The music never fits with the situation. It is always that wacky tune we have had in movies since Home alone.The "villains" are not only likable, but are justifiably angry about the attitude of their ****** boss and are actually doing a favor to the company. But **** them! said the script. And they got ****** by a deus ex machina so illegal that the pedophile matrix got an erection.With the exception of the daughter every feminine character is so pointless you could have substituted them with a broom with a cardboard drawing nailed to them and you could have gotten the same effect.For me as a cat owner, the people that thought this piece of garbage have never seen a cat outside of a kindergarten drawing.In short: for liking this movie you need to a) not know what a cat is b) have no logic in your brain c) have an IQ under zero d) being able to not notice obvious stupidity and e) like cat videos on the internet. Avoid this piece of garbage.

... but this is one of those body/soul switch films with a twist versus the average script about this thing. No old man getting to feel young again. No teenager in mom's body suddenly having to watch her carb intake or find out she's gained five pounds overnight.Instead, this is a silly, predictable, yet very entertaining, piece of fluff about a wealthy builder (Kevin Spacey) who manages to get trapped inside a cat's body. The cat, named Mr. Fuzzypants, spends most of the film trying to get people to realize he is really Spacey, while Spacey lies in a coma. Along the way, there is some business intrigue, as Spacey's underlings attempt to take over his company. Will Mr. Fuzzypants save the day? Jennifer Garner plays Spacey's current wife, and she looks great. Spacey's first wife, played by Cheryl Hines, wears some of the tightest clothes in history and adds just the right amount of bi... - ahem - "crankiness" to her role. There are some laugh-out-loud scenes, such as when Mr. Fuzzypants tries to sneak past security guards who happen to be watching cat videos.Christopher Walken, as the very weird pet shop owner, is perfectly cast. I admire anyone who can deliver his lines with a straight face, all the while wearing a three-piece green suit and bow-tie.Recommended for the silliness and fun of it all.

For some reason, it took a total of FIVE writers to churn out this take on an idea that has been done to death in decades past both in film and in television. Maybe the producers thought that with all those writers, there would be a good amount of fresh ideas spread throughout, but that is not the case at all. There is really nothing new in this screenplay, from the central character trying to redeem himself to the subplot about an evil employee trying to take over the company he works for. Well, actually, there is one difference in this take, and that is that the central character - both in human form and later in cat form - is utterly unlikable and abrasive in every way possible for an incredibly long time. So much so, that it doesn't seem like he's deserving of his happy ending at the end. Technically, the movie is often kind of shabby; despite being a co- production between three countries, the movie has the feel of a direct to DVD production instead of a production made for theatrical release. Maybe all those aforementioned problems could have been excused had the movie been funny, but even the humor is tired and feeble in nature. But what did you expect from a movie released by the Europacorp company?
