Dogs and cats are far funnier and more engaging when they behave like, well, dogs and cats.
The kitties and puppies are cute to look at, no doubt, but your average cat on YouTube is far more charming than anything in this kitty litter.
Cats and dogs working together for the greater good? Woof.
A harmless but fun hot-weather diversion for the family.
Better than the original Cats & Dogs. But so is a rabies shot.
The notion of pets leading a double life has been much tapped for family movies, and the kid-friendly spy genre has been wrung dry.
...if it weren't for the pigeon, the whole ordeal would have been painful. Come to think of it, it was still painful. (Blu-ray Edition)
The action is cute, to be sure, but the cuteness wore off quickly for this adult.
I think young children will enjoy the movie very much, while adults will probably opt to go out into the kitchen and wash dishes while the tykes watch it.

Cats & Dogs 2 will be disappointing to fans of the original and will probably fail to capture any new hearts in its own right.
No matter that the film felt lumpish and witless, I have to say that the kids at the preview laughed a lot.
There are just enough effects-driven laughs but a bit too much talky dead space in this not-at-all-anticipated sequel to the tepid, poorly animated 2001 film.
For comedy value there is little to choose between the expensive antics here and the primitive spy charade enacted by apes in the 1970s TV series Lancelot Link: Secret Chimp.
The Revenge of Kitty Galore (in 3D) is loud, colourful and silly enough to tickle the 5- to 10-year-old target group, but only for about half its length.
This uncalled-for sequel to the mediocre 2001 talking-pets affair Cats & Dogs is all needless noise and second-rate CGI gunk, and never, ever funny in any sense of the word.
While the jokes are obvious, this fun family film has a big heart, an element missing from the recent slew of kids' movies about animals.
Passes the way a pet lover hopes euthanasia goes for their beloved feline or canine-a blur of motion, moments drifting by in a numbing fog, then the blissful end, free of pain at last. A forgettable, clunky CGI tinkertoy.
Let me be direct about this: I gave "this a half-star because it contains cute animals and, at the end, there are entertaining clips of animals that aren't in the movie.
It's beneath any cat to be sprayed repeatedly with a water bottle, or completely shaved, let alone dubbed by Bette Midler.
You have to strive for that kind of failure
