If you like cats or dogs or both you may find a lot to dislike about this film. I love both cats and dogs. Why did I watch this, then? Because I was a guest at someone's home on Thanksgiving Day and they picked this DVD of all possible DVDs to show. I don't think the elderly lady matriarch of the family was any too pleased at the choice of film and probably wondered about her daughter's taste or lack of same. There were no other rooms to go to and no escape! Cats are not all evil and dogs are not all good. I think that is a terrible message for impressionable small children. Some of the cartoon violence against Mr. Tinkles the cat was disturbingly realistic from a distance. The special effects were a little too good.

Cats and Dogs (2001): Dir: Lawrence Guterman / Cast: Jeff Goldblum, Elizabeth Perkins, Miriam Margolyes, Alexander Pollack, Myron Natwick: Could have referenced culture differences but instead its total lunacy. A dog is kidnapped then the screenplay completely forgets about it. A puppy is taken into a family and learns that other dogs are spies. Their establishment would seem clever had it an explanation. They must protect a chemical invented by the pup's owner that rid allergies. Feline Mr. Tingles wishes to destroy the formula so that people will disown man's best friend leaving cats to rule the world. Climaxes with violence tailored for children. Director Lawrence Guterman was out to lunch during the shoot. He never explains how these animals move a human body. Interesting concept bludgeoned with martial arts cats. Why is it that violence is family aimed films is deemed acceptable yet violence in R rated films is met with protests? This is just an excuse to sell candy coated kiddie violence. And just because dogs have been labled "man's best friend" doesn't mean that cats are automatically the villains either. Jeff Goldblum and Elizabeth Perkins come across with the mentality of a cardboard box. Miriam Margolyes and Alexander Pollack are wasted in supporting roles. While special effects are passable the film itself is totally pointless kiddie crap that should be buried in a litter box. Score: 2 / 10

This was a pretty clever film mixing live characters and human voices for the dogs and cats. The dubbing is extremely well-done, and so is the humor. It's a funny story, although it displays the typical whacked-out father, which is another political correctness feminist agenda (mother = good; father = bad). Other than that, it is a very entertaining film even with a bunch of silliness.Check the cast out. How often to you see Susan Sarandon and Charleton Heston in the same movie. Now THERE is diversity, even if it's only their voices!People here complain the film is too much for kids, and not adults. Well, isn't that terrible? Imagine the nerve of these filmmakers, doing something just for children!
