Advantages: Good concept | Mr. Tinkles
Disadvantages: Bad entertainment for adults | Too American

...It’s a small wonder why this movie hasn’t been made up until now. When you come to think of it the story is just too obvious to pass up, staring us right in the face. Well it’s happened and its done rather well both sides of the water, financially anyway, while it isn’t going to be near Shrek’s massive gross its set to gross over $100m in the US and it beat off Rush Hour 2 in the opening weekend. Also while Shrek had the cash and the good reviews Cats and Dogs has had mixed reviews, some calling it the dogs…well you know and others saying its none other than the cats poop tray. You’ll know what I think of it, you’ve seen my rating already, but before I let you in on what’s, well, bad about it, I’ll give the obligatory background info. Cats and Dogs, then, is a movie about... Read review

Advantages: effects, voices, comedy
Disadvantages: humans

...Now as you all know this film has cats and dogs, i thought that would be it but to my surprise, yes you did see humans, now personally i feel that it would have been better without humans, as most films cause as well all know cats and dogs going at it (in the arguing sense) with words!!!!!!! is far funnier than seeing 2 humans going at it (in the arguing sense) with words!!!!! The basic plot of the film goes: cats want to take over the pet world of things and they feel that they may be able to do this if they get hold of a formula that a professer (Jeff Golgblum) is working on. This formula is one that makes people completely allergy free so they can be around dogs (cure for dog allergies in other words), so the cats feel that if they get hold of this they can reverse it and make everyone allergic to dogs so they can be loved more...

Advantages: great effects - cuute animal faces
Disadvantages: i wans't sure what was going on xD

...In "Cats & Dogs" you get a cat and mouse chase movie, except the dog replaces the mouse, and the feline's goal is not just to catch the opponent, but to claim world domination. That's a pretty weak concept for a bid-budget, special effects action film, especially when the production features the best technology has to offer. The movie uses more than 800 visual effects, and 200 animators, designers, compositors, sculptors, and technicians. With so much going for it, "Cats & Dogs" should have utilized these tools to bring a great story to life. It does breathe life into a plot filled with energy and gusto, but it sure isn't great. Unbeknownst to humans, cats and dogs have always fought for world domination. A power-hungry Persian cat, Mr. Tinkles (wonderfully voiced by Sean Hayes), has broken a truce between the species. He plans... Read review

Disadvantages: Not Toy Story

...Cats and Dogs is an enjoyable family movie, whether you’re a dog person or a cat person. The plot, for what it’s worth, is that Jeff Goldblum – who plays a slightly deranged inventor – is perfecting a vaccine which will prevent allergic reactions to dogs. This will make dogs much more popular and increase their chances of becoming the pet of choice throughout the world. This would clearly have a detrimental effect on the feline population and a gang of evil cats, led by the demonic Mr. Tinkles, makes every effort to gain access to the formula and corrupt it so that it actually has the effect of making the entire world allergic to dogs. World domination is but a short step away thereafter. In order to foil Mr. Tinkles, a squad of special agent dogs are assigned to protect Jeff Goldblum’s family... Read review
