  • Coarse and corny remake in an over-emphatic style.

    Typical Disney

    My son loved this slapstick tale of small town America. Not as much cat action as the title suggested which is disappointing.

    Good fun but for mainly for younger viewers

    I found this film quite silly and entertaining, but the humour is clearly aimed at younger viewers, so not recommended unless you fall into that category.

    Christina Ricci is a good choice as the main character. Doug E. Doug never really seems to quite get it together in his role, but this may be a reflection of the film not being sure what it wants to be i.e. very silly or an amusing childrens adventure.
