Cats & Dogs: The Revenge of Kitty Galore
PG for animal action and humor.
Genre: Action, adventure, comedy, family
Running Time: 1 hour 22 minutes
It’s the age-old battle between cats and dogs, but one crazed feline is going a little too far!
Kitty Galore, formerly an agent for the cat spy organization MEOWS, has gone rogue and hatched a diabolical plan to not only bring her canine enemies to heel, but take down her former kitty comrades and make the world her scratching post. Faced with an unprecedented threat, cats and dogs are forced to join forces for the first time in history in an unlikely alliance to save themselves – and their humans.
That of course means…it’s time for some fur to fly in…
It’s James Bond With Animals!
She’s back and she’s looking for revenge!
It’s Cats & Dogs: The Revenge of Kitty Galore and I must admit, this movie surprised me. The trailers made it look interesting. However, at the same time, the trailers also made it look a little cheesy too. But, in the end, the most interesting part about this movie revolves around the fact that it’s pretty much a spoof on James Bond movies. The only difference, instead of humans teaming up, it’s cats and dogs working together. Even the opening credits go by like a bad James Bond flashback!
Making Cats & Dogs even more interesting when it comes to spoofing James Bond – Roger Moore voices the cat, Tab Lazenby, playing the head of the MEOW organization!
Other big names lending their voice talent to this movie include the likes of James Marsden, Nick Nolte and Bette Midler who provides the voice of none-other than Kitty Galore! For a PG rated movie, aimed at kids of course, the James Bond parallels and the voice talent make this an enjoyable experience for adults too.
Enjoyable Movie – But Not A Strong Movie
While I admit I did laugh at points throughout Cats & Dogs: The Revenge of Kitty Galore, for the most part, this is a predictable movie. At least it’s predictable for adults. But remember, adults are not the target audience here. This flick is aimed at kids who want to see cats and dogs talking and acting on the big screen. That’s why I refer to Cats & Dogs as an enjoyable movie, but not a strong movie.
Parents – Keep in Mind This Is Rated PG!
On another note, when it comes to rating – parents – remember this is not a G rated movie. Cats & Dogs: The Revenge of Kitty Galore is rated PG for a reason. Just because the trailers look cute with talking animals, does not mean this is a kid-friendly movie for a really young audience. This flick is really aimed at probably the 8 and above crowd. Kids younger than 8 will simply find this movie too harsh. As a matter of fact, during the screening I attended, some parents who had young children with them, left because it’s just too edgy for a really young audience.
As for length, clocking in at slightly less than an hour and a half, is pretty much the perfect length for a movie like this. We are calling it family-friendly for the rating. But as I just mentioned above, remember, this is a PG rated movie not a G rated movie. Parents, if you’re looking for a movie to catch with your somewhat older kids, Cats & Dogs: The Revenge of Kitty Galore is worth it.
For kids, it’s always fun to see animals talking. For parents, it’s enjoyable because of the voice talent and the James Bond feel to the movie.
But, if you’re kids aren’t clamoring to see the movie, Cats & Dogs: The Revenge of Kitty Galore might best be viewed from the comfort of your home when it comes out on DVD.
Enjoy the show!
