Review of Bad Cat

Bad Cat (2016)
3/10
Mediocre attempt with one joke
9 February 2020
I had to look up the comic strip after watching this movie as it left me really puzzled what had led to this trainwreck. Apparently the running joke in the source material is swearing, which in the modern Turkish culture is about at the same level as when Sex Pistols dropped the F-bomb in a TV broadcast back in the days.

The animation is okay for the most part, but the big letdown is that the story doesn't really go anywhere. They obviously attempt at some kind of finding your life in family life moment for the main character, but failed to bring it home. At the same time everything else was a mess where swear words and mentions of alcohol usage were dropped like they alone make the best joke ever. There was so much potential where they could have taken this, but they didn't go beyond a questionable attempt at "Garfield gone bad".

This would have been a lot better as a 15 minute student project than a full movie, but as is there's a very loosely written story that lazily binds unrelated scenes together to waste 80 minutes of your time.
