Cats & Dogs
Dir: Lawrence Guterman

Lawrence Guterman's Cats & Dogs is an exercise in clever CGI vs. unimaginative writing. The idea could have worked but they didn't quite do it right. I've got nothing against the realms of fantasy, talking animals is fine by me but I think they went too far in humanising the animals here. Giving them human apparatus and adding CGI to their facial expressions just didn't work, no matter how cute they looked. It also wasn't very funny and to be honest I hate these types of films, and I would rather my kids watch something else. Give me a film like Homeward Bound over this any day of the week.
