Cats and Dogs
(Reviewed June 15, 2001, by James Dawson)
-
If you enjoy seeing real dogs run head-first into trees at high rates of speed, or fly through the air to crash head-first into wooden window sills, or threatened with needle-bombs and razor-sharp boomerangs, or cats and dogs beating and kicking each other senseless with kung-fu moves…look, let’s get right to the point: This movie is awful, stupid, unfunny and despicable. Cartoons such as "Tom and Jerry" (or even "Itchy and Scratchy") work because animated drawings provide a little "distance" between reality and what’s on the screen. But when real flesh-and-blood cats and dogs (with "Babe"-style animated mouths for talking) commit acts of violence against each other for entertainment purposes, there’s something kind of sick about it.
Don’t take your children to this hateful would-be "comedy," unless you want them to turn into the kind of psychopathic little bastards who think torturing animals is funny. I don’t even own a damned pet, but even I thought this movie was cruel.
Where are the SPCA and PETA when you really need them?
