Cats and Dogs

2001 children's movie

Rating: 5/20 (Dylan: 6/20; Emma: /20; Abbey: 19/20)

Plot: Cats and dogs fight.

These talking animals creep me out, and combine that with a talking Jeff Goldblum, something else that creeps me out, and you've got one creepy movie. The special effects can't save this piece of crap story. These computer-generated cats and dogs really don't come to life which makes it nearly impossible for an adult to hop on board and enjoy this even a little bit. Great idea on the drawing board, I think, but this would have worked much better as traditional animation than with this creepy live action + Jeff Goldblum formula they dreamed up. Definitely one of those movies that you watch while thinking about all the starving people out there who could have been fed if the money that went into this project was used to help them. Actually, thinking about starving people is a lot more entertaining than watching Cats and Dogs.
