How can you hate a movie that features ninja Siamese cats wreaking havoc with their kung fu prowess? That's one of the highlights in Cats & Dogs, an effects-laden family film that mystifies cat fanciers by casting dogs as the undisputed heroes in all-out warfare with nefarious felines. Hidden headquarters and high-tech gadgets are featured on both sides of this age-old battle. On the feline side, the longhaired Persian Mr. Tinkles (voice of Sean Hayes) plots to sabotage the efforts of Professor Brody (Jeff Goldblum) to discover a cure for human allergies to dogs. On the canine side, stalwart shepherd Butch (voice of Alec Baldwin) trains the mistakenly recruited beagle puppy Lou (voice of Tobey Maguire) to foil Mr. Tinkles's scheme--a mission that begins when Mrs. Brody (Elizabeth Perkins) adopts Lou for her son Scott (Alexander Pollock).

Using combinations of live animals, animatronic puppets, and digital wizardry, Cats & Dogs has just enough imagination to match its effects, climaxing with a feline global-domination scheme involving mice sprayed with chemicals that will make all humans allergic to dogs. Goldblum and Perkins gamely play second fiddles to this menagerie of mayhem, and as madcap "realism" gives way to cartoonish fantasy, the movie escalates into utter chaos, burdened by lame jokes but highlighted by a furry supporting cast including a Saluki hound (voice of Susan Sarandon), a shaggy sheepdog (voice of Michael Clarke Duncan), and a Chinese hairless techno-geek named Peek (voice of Joe Pantoliano). Though never as charming as the Babe movies, Cats & Dogs is harmless fun--especially for dog lovers. --Jeff Shannon

Description

Comedic action-adventure that mixes live action with cutting-edge CGI and animatronic effects. "Cats & Dogs" uncovers the truth about the high-tech, secret war being waged in neighborhoods everywhere that humans aren't even aware of: an eternal struggle between the two great armies of Cats and Dogs. The story follows a Cat plan to destroy a new vaccine that, if developed, would destroy all human allergies to Dogs, and the Dogs' efforts to stop the Cats from executing their plan.

Funny even for Mom and Dad.......2007-05-14

A great kids movie with good actors (Elizabeth Perkins and Jeff Goldblum). Obviously far fetched since there are animals that talk but really very funny even for adults!

From Russia with Love.......2007-04-25

You can see other reviews for the general plotline, but I'd like to give a hearty second to the idea that this movie is fun for the whole family.

My wife and I love it. My 8-year old loves it, and my 2-year old loves it. There are many subtleties you can catch upon multiple viewings, which is a good thing as my daughters like to watch this movie over and over. There are many great one-liners and performances, but "The Russian" is easily my favorite character. Sean Hayes is also awesome as "Mr. Tinkles".

Cats & Dogs.......2007-03-10

Great dvd and was delievered to me quickly and in great condition, thank you.

Who Rules and Who Drools?.......2007-02-12

This is a fun flick to watch for all ages. Comical yarn about supposed secret war between canines and felines for control of the owner population. In the middle is an unsuspecting scientist looking for cure for dog allergies, and the replacement dog for his family, an unsuspecting beagle.

Fun to watch. Delighted to hear that families like to watch multiple times. Kids of all ages who like their humor without the sordid language and violence problems will enjoy this one.

Horrible and misleading........2007-01-27

I saw this movie in theaters when I was 9 because it seemed like a cute story: Cats and dogs in a fight with each other to take over the world. BOY were those commercials misleading. Even back then, I HATED all of those stupid cats and dogs and race cliches. You don't know how tired I am of seeing evil siamese cats that look asian and have funny accents. I would never want my children watching this garbage. It'll just teach them how to hate cats and make fun of asians and russians. There was no humor in it either. None of the jokes were funny.

One of the most memorably offbeat romantic comedies of the 1990s begins when a talk-radio veterinarian named Abby (Janeane Garofalo) takes a call from Brian (Ben Chaplin), the owner of a roller-skating Great Dane. Brian is intrigued by Abby's voice and asks if she'll agree to meet him. Insecure about her looks and her nonexistent love life, Abby agrees, but describes herself as a tall blonde, then begs her attractive neighbor Noelle (played by Uma Thurman) to meet with Brian in her place. The ensuing case of switched identity is complicated when Noelle takes a liking to Brian who, of course, thinks she is Abby. This confusion gains comedic momentum when Abby safely plays herself on the radio and in a long, hilariously seductive phone call with Brian, but by now the situation has grown hopelessly complex, and Abby has to find a way to reveal herself without disappointing Brian. Many viewers rightly complained that the movie relies on the assumption that Abby is unattractive, even though Garofalo is more attractive and appealing here than she'd been in several movies before and since. Still, this contemporary variation on Cyrano de Bergerac is a lightweight, good-natured surprise that values the quirks and foibles that make lovelorn romantics (including their pets) uniquely appealing. --Jeff Shannon

Description

Charming and bittersweet, this modern-day romantic comedy starring Uma Thurman, Janeane Garofalo and Ben Chaplin, explores the beguiling perils of mistaken identity.

Abby (Garofalo), a savvy, witty veterinarian who hosts her own radio talk show, is anything but confident when it comes to love. A petite brunette, she describes herself as tall and blonde when Brian (Chaplin), a caller who is smitten with her radio persona, asks her on a date. She then talks her tall, blonde neighbor Noelle (Thurman) into assuming her identity, setting off an escalating series of hilarious and romantic crises.

The Truth Must Be Told: I like this romantic comedy that echoes "Syrano de Bergerac".......2007-05-02

Janeane Garofalo stars as Abby, a veterinarian who has her own radio show. She is a cultured, educated woman, who is smart, has a good sense of humor and makes a great living. The problem is that her self-esteem is low because she does not find herself attractive being 5'1 brunette who once upon a time while in college had gained 40 pounds. Well, she looked like she lost all of them and she was charming if you ask me (perhaps, it is solidarity of another 5'0 brunette ) but when she developed a relationship over the phone with one of the callers, she tells him that she is 5'10" statuesque blonde who is hard to miss. The blonde (Uma Thurman) happened to be her next-door neighbor, the aspiring model/actress who agrees to go on the date instead of Abby... It may sound like cliché, and the film has several holes in the plot but is very enjoyable thanks to wonderful performance by Janeane and to these words:

"You know how someone's appearance can change the longer you know them? How a really attractive person, if you don't like them, can become more and more ugly; whereas someone you might not have even have noticed... that you wouldn't look at more than once, if you love them, can become the most beautiful thing you've ever seen. All you want to do is be near them."

A good movie that I would not want to see twice.......2007-04-11

Good actresses, interesting plot. It is a nice comedy, just not one that I would choose to watch again. My 14-year old daughter loved it though and would watch it again! You will have to see for yourself...

Cats and Dogs.......2007-04-11

What a heartbreaker! For a minute ten years back it seemed as if Janeane Garofalo would break out and jump to the head of the pack. She was burning down the house trying to beat the Parker Posey record of having made the most consecutive movies within a twelve month period. Then came this movie and she was forced to confront the Garofalo ceiling, that there would be no big future for her in the movies. People just didn't warm up to her enough. She was funny and sassy and had that amusing deadpan face Sarah Silverman later rode to the top.

And yet there was something smug and repulsive about her, and this movie showed it in spades. She played a radio talk show host and dog expert, who gave sarcastic advice to pet owners about their dogs and cats (hence the title) and who fell in love with the handsomest British man in town. And yet he preferred Uma Thurman to her! Then she decides to masquerade as Uma Thurman--never a bright idea, and one certain to backfire on you. Actually Garofalo isn't a bad looking woman, maybe a little hunched together like Judy Garland but that worked for her in general, but in THE TRUTH ABOUT CATS AND DOGS there were too many uninspired Michael Lehmann shots of her nose to nose with a pitbull or boxer, far too many visual comparisons of her as a dog. Few stars could walk away from this constant barrage unscathed and, of course, she wasn't quite a star. And plus people felt cheated, they had plunked down their $9 to see an Uma Thurman movie, and instead of Uma, the camera was constantly going to Janeane Garofalo! Indeed Uma hardly appears in the last half hour of the movie and none of the remaining characters even mentions her existence! Plus how humiliating for Uma! The credits list "Acting Coach for Uma Thurman," an indignity none of the other actors had to endure. What they should have hired was a "Personality Coach for Janeane Garofalo."

The dog is super cute and they should have just called the movie, "Hank," it would have been a modest success instead of a monster flop.

Jamie Foxx just twiddles his thumbs and glowers in the stereotypical "black best friend" part. What a waste of talent. If Foxx hates white people this must be the reason why and who could blame him!

Great idea gone wrong.......2007-04-10

I am all for the multi-dimensional character. I found Garofalo's role promising in this. She was interesting to watch and was pretty much believable. Uma Thurman was ok too - a little less multi-dimensional but was lovable in a ditsy kind of way. However, the guy picked for leading man was the pits. Perhaps he is a good actor but you really can't tell from this movie. What is it exactly . . . he, honestly, doesn't come across as being smart enough for Garofalo. He's good looking to be sure but . . . boring. I don't believe the movie the second he enters it. I can see her falling for him initially but then getting tired of him because they have nothing to talk about. It would have been much better if he wound up with Thurman and some really interesting leading man showed up or he turned out to be some con man or something. There really was NO chemistry between them and that phone conversation . . . I was frankly embarrassed for Garofalo. I guess I didn't find her character believable in that. This movie really misses the mark - I love the premise - but Garofalo needs a leading man as strong as herself. I own the movie but doubt I will ever watch it again - I could sell it but I would feel like a peddler of shabby wares.

Movie still great, DVD quality leaves a lot to be desired.......2007-04-07

I loved this movie when it first came out, and I still love it, which is why I ordered the DVD. However, the scenes are coming off as dark (as in unlighted) and without needed contrast. There was also one point where the DVD skipped. For less than $6 the DVD was worth it, but if it had been any more I would return it.

Nine Months: This film represents Hugh Grant's first big bid at Hollywood stardom, on the heels of the success of Four Weddings and a Funeral. But he stumbled twice: first with this mundane comedy, then by being arrested after soliciting a prostitute near downtown Hollywood, the week before the film opened. Directed by Chris Columbus (Mrs. Doubtfire), Nine Months was a weak reworking of a French film about an aging bachelor (Grant) who can't decide whether to commit to the woman he loves (Julianne Moore). When she becomes pregnant, he still can't make up his mind and winds up blowing hot and cold on the subject of fatherhood, which causes tension in the relationship. There's a lot of low comedy involving Grant's best friend; Tom Arnold plays this ultra-married and child-ridden suburbanite, who makes fatherhood look like a living hell. Robin Williams has a funny cameo as a foreign doctor, but in the end, the sentiment is ladled on and Grant doesn't have nearly enough funny material to work with. --Marshall Fine

Massage Guide for Dogs & Cats.......2005-08-20

I have tried the methods shown on this video and, as the video says, found the exercises comforting to both my dog and myself. Bradley had been favoring one leg in a minor way. The massage therapy "Cured" him after a few sessions. I intend to continue with the various methods as it seems to keep this field dog, who spends too much time on the couch, in better shape.
