Review

good, mindless fun

This film was tailor made for the Ailurophobe: if you believe that cats have a hidden agenda and possibly even a secret plan to take over the world then you really cannot miss this movie. One of the worst insults hurled at one of the main characters is `Dog lover.' There are quite a few chuckles and some real laugh-out-loud jokes but primarily this is one sight gag after another. Sean Hayesis great as the nefarious `Mr. Tinkles,' the leader of the underground cat society, whose biggest threat is the maid of the house in which he resides. While this is primarily a kid's movie there are some adult jokes: the word play on the substance being manufactured by Mr. Tinkles owner, as an example. This is good summer escapist fare – especially if the theater is air-conditioned and you are not looking for great art. It is entertaining, mindless and a lot of fun.
