Cats & Dogs (DVD)

Cats and Dogs – another movie I got dragged along to see by my kids. In fact they needed cheering up yesterday, and they’d been asking me when we could go to see this, so I psyched myself up for a boring afternoon (never trusted their taste in movies since having to endure Good Burger!) and off we went. I’m thankful at this point that I didn’t get to read the newspaper reviews until after we’d seen it because we probably never would have gone! From the look of the dooyoo ratings, and from our own enjoyment levels, however, the newspapers got it very wrong! Cats and dogs have been warring since the beginning of time, so the adverts ...  Read the complete review

Cats & Dogs always manages to make me laugh even now, I first saw this film when I was about 10 & I absolutely loved it & I recently watched it with my mates 11 year sister & it still made me laugh, especially Mr Tinkles, he's definitely my favourite character. It's basically the age old story that Cats & Dogs hate each other & with that the other one weren't around, well this film takes this literally. The cats are the baddies & led my Mr Tinkles voiced by Sean Hayes of Will & Grace. Mr Tinkles hates the face that dogs get more attention & are treated as one of the family while cats are seen as the enemy. This introduces ...  Read the complete review

This week, with all of the media hype surrounding the recent release of 'Finding Nemo', my daughter seemed in need of a change, so we decided to hunt out our well played copy of this film. Being the cat owners (in my case), cat lovers (in my wife and daughter's case) we are, this film was always going to be a favourite in our house, but I have to admit that the first time we watched it, I was convinced I would hate this. I still do not know why I thought this way as I had heard very little about the film so had nothing to base my doubts on, but I think maybe at the time, it was just one of many films of this genre that were released, and not all of them were ...  Read the complete review

Christmas is for kids, and family entertainment, and so Cats & Dogs would seem to be a pretty strong favourite for decent Yuletide viewing. It has most of the requisite qualities you need to succeed with both kids and families - it's undemanding, shallow, and unambitious. However, you'd have to be pretty undemanding yourself to see much to entertain you from this insipid little piece of dross. It was thrown up in a huge amount of hype and advertising to be the latest blockbuster in the world of family entertainment, but all the hype in the world can't hide the fact that Cats and Dogs is one hugely dull and childish offering which has nothing of any ...  Read the complete review

Looking on DooYoo, there have been over 40 reviews for ‘Cats and Dogs’ – now, when I wrote my initial review of the movie, the reviews were a pretty mixed bag – some people loved the movie and others hated it. This really is just a silly family movie, but if you go in to watch it in the right frame of mind, not expecting too much and remembering that the target audience is really young children then I’m sure you’ll get something out of the film. I’m going to be writing about the actual DVD here, but in case you haven’t here’s a brief synopsis of things. Unbeknown to humans, there has been a secret war ...  Read the complete review
