In the outrageous comedy CATS & DOGS, Professor Brody (Jeff Goldblum) is on the verge of discovering a chemical formula that would give humans immunity to dog allergies, making dogs the clear favorite of humans over cats, their age-old enemies. When a power-mad white Persian cat named Mr. Tinkles (voiced by Sean Hayes) decides to kidnap the professor and his family and attempt to reverse the formula, making all humans allergic to dogs, canine operative Butch (voiced by Alec Baldwin) and young, hapless recruit Lou (voiced by Tobey Maguire) must stop Mr. Tinkles's nefarious plans. Blending live action with realistic puppetry and seamless computer animation, CATS & DOGS reveals an amusingly secretive world of talking felines and canines where cats parachute out of stealth planes in night-vision goggles and dogs operate hi-tech computer equipment. And in one of the film's most stunning sequences, a Russian mercenary kitten attacks the Brody household with an arsenal of weapons including plastic explosives and bladed boomerangs. Entertaining for both children and adults, the film also features Elizabeth Perkins and the vocal talents of Susan Sarandon, Jon Lovitz, Michael Clarke Duncan, and Joe Pantoliano. [More]

Reviews for Cats & Dogs
No es una gran película ni seguramente hará historia, pero si ofrece un muy buen rato de esparcimiento familiar
A surprisingly ill-advised misfire that surely won't be garnering many devoted fans above the age of single-digits.
Cats & Dogs is adorable, and at times quite clever, but is strictly for the kitties. Er, kiddies.
An inventive and fanciful children's movie that will more than adequately entertain the kids while amusing adults, too.
After a while, the film's massive explosions make Swordfish look like a chick flick.
It's not derivative so much as an homage - and it is this that saves the film from being just another talking animal movie.
While I didn't laugh that hard during Cats & Dogs, I did chuckle a fair amount.
"Cats & Dogs" is reasonably entertaining kids' fare, but it might have been even more worthwhile if it had a little more human heart and reason behind it.
"Cats and Dogs" is a movie that blurs the lines between cartoons and live action and between animals and humans.
I started to wonder if beating a joke to within an inch of its life constitutes cruelty.
