Gripping story with well-crafted characters

Absolutely amazing

This movie was so-so. It had it's moments, but wasn't the greatest.

One of the most extraordinary films you will see this year. Take that as you want.

In my honest opinion, this film is really good. Good acting, great CGI for 2001, a good premise, great voice cast, and even a decent story. I will be honest and say that the story is very generic and may actually come off as a little kiddy sometimes. The whole movie is also extremely biased against cats as the whole film is pretty much about how cats are evil and should be stopped, which may or may not upset viewers who have cats. Besides all that, this film was still good enough for me to thoroughly enjoy it. I think this film is a lot better than what other people say about it. It's a cute, light-hearted comedy that everyone would probably enjoy. I recommend this film to anyone who loves dogs, or any pets for that matter.

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.

This film is about secret agent dogs who do everything in their power to protect a professor's experimental cure from a group of evil cats who want to steal this cure."Cats & Dogs" is a kids film, so I have adjusted my expectations to suit the target audience. For a kids' film, "Cats & Dogs" has good production and an exciting plot. I am sure children will love the cute animals, James Bond style gadgets and the flurry of action.However, there is little to entertain the adults who have to sit through the film with children. There is no hidden moral message either. If these points could be improved, "Cats & Dogs" would have been a true family film.

When I saw the trailer I thought, "that will be a great movie!" I read critics all the time complain about a filmmaker not taking a film to its full potential. I usually don't think that, but I did with this film.It was still fun, but it seems to have been written is such a hurry that they didn't put into it even 10% of what they could have. It's a shame, because now you couldn't do a film with the same premise without coming off as a copy-cat (and dog). I get the feeling that the writer wasn't an animal person. Oh, well, maybe in time this one will be forgotten and someone will re-do it with its full potential.
