Screen Rant’s Paul Young reviews Cats & Dogs: The Revenge of Kitty Galore

Cats & Dogs: The Revenge of Kitty Galore is over-the-top hilarious fun… for kids ages 4 thru 11. Adults may too find some humor and enjoyment recalling the original films from which many of the scenes have been recreated using animals – but if they don’t, so what? This movie is aimed squarely at the under 13 crowd, and with the help of voices from James Marsden, Nick Nolte, Christina Applegate, Bette Midler, Roger Moore and Katt Williams it lands directly on that target.

The movie is full of plenty of voice cameos including Neil Patrick Harris, Sean Hayes, Wallace Shawn, Joe Pantoliano and Michael Clark Duncan, but let’s be honest, kids don’t care about that kind of stuff. They ...

Short version: Is it possible to enjoy an absurd movie? In this case, yes.

Maybe I’m getting soft in my old age – or maybe I’m just so desperate for movies that even remotely entertain me that I’m getting “easy.” Whichever it is, I actually enjoyed 88 Minutes.

Why the qualifier? Because surprisingly (to me) this movie is getting killed by movie other movie critics.

The film opens eerily and quietly enough, with us looking in on a pair of Asian twin sisters getting ready to turn in for the night. It’s all innocuous, so much so that of course you know something horrible is coming, and indeed it does. Their home is invaded by a twisted killer who binds up his victims, hanging them upside down from the ceiling to torture them before finally killing them.

After that ...
