Plenty of heart and hijinks mixed with litter box humor.

| Original Score: 3/5 | Dec 6, 2005

Unlike the Babe films, the plot here is so thin that there's almost nothing for the effects and jokes to cling to.

| Original Score: 2.5/4 | Jun 19, 2003

| Original Score: 2.5/4 | Apr 18, 2003

Falls victim to a common pitfall of special-effects movies: The technology takes precedent over the characters and story.

Cats and Dogs may be playing the same game as Spy Kids, but it isn't in the same league. What it does have is a comparable level of rollicking energy…

| Original Score: B- | May 9, 2002

A surprisingly witty and sophisticated spy movie spoof that will tickle adult pet lovers and still capture kids 6 and older with its boy-and- his-dog love story and pet slapstick.

Full Review | Original Score: 4/5 | Jan 6, 2002

Succeeds both as a parody of the spy genre, and in stretching the boundaries of what you believe is possible.

| Original Score: 4/5 | Jul 23, 2001

After a while, the film's massive explosions make Swordfish look like a chick flick.

| Jul 12, 2001

Inoffensive fun that kids will love and adults will likely love too.

| Original Score: 2.5/5 | Jul 9, 2001

High-end family entertainment.

Full Review | Original Score: 3/4 | Jul 6, 2001

Spends too much time chewing on its computer effects or purring over its animatronic puppetry and too little taming its amusing premise.

| Jul 6, 2001

Ultimately the filmmakers have relied on premise rather than plot, and the device wears out despite the spoof's brevity.

The best way to enjoy Cats & Dogs, like puppy love, is to go into it with lowered expectations.

| Original Score: 2/4 | Jul 5, 2001

A tale so monumentally silly that the only recourse is to sit back and laugh.

Full Review | Jul 5, 2001

There is some mild language and lots of animal slapstick -- la Wile E. Coyote vs. Roadrunner -- that may be a little much for small children. But most kids will find the action fun and the animals hilarious.

| Jul 5, 2001

Even at a Chihuahua-sized 83 minutes, the movie begins to feel funny in the same way that having the neighbor's dog attach himself to your leg is funny. You laugh while you're wishing you could pull yourself away.

Full Review | Jul 5, 2001

Though its furry cast members are sometimes cute, the movie systematically converts Babe's tender, talking-animals appeal into just another soulless gadget-fest.

| Jul 5, 2001

The jokes are staler than day-old Fancy Feast.
