Cats & Dogs (2001)

This Ain't No Shrek... It's Dreck!

Warning: Spoilers
This movie is appalling. There are loads of worthwhile children's films out there, so why would anyone waste time on this one? Having seen the trailer, I was hoping for much more. I was thoroughly disappointed. The plot is predictable, the gags are second-hand, the special effects were spotty, at best. Every sci-fi/fantasy film (what genre would this one be?) requires a certain amount of suspension of disbelief. But that should not mean that anything goes! A film must be true to the integrity of the world it creates. Hence, I was particularly chafed by the early scene in which the dog bends over a tree completely and sends a cat catapulting through the air. At least some laws of physics must hold true even in a movie as outlandish as this one. Otherwise, why would the pie fall on the woman's face. It could just as easily remain suspended in the air. I know this may seem like a minor harangue, but others have so thoroughly dissected this movie's major flaws, I just thought I'd add my two cents. Don't waste your time on this movie!
