Cats & Dogs: The Revenge of Kitty Galore

Probably my shortest review ever.

Even Ricky agreed with me this time. There was no need for this movie to be in 3-D. This is starting to become irksome. Theaters charge more for 3-D movies, which I'm happy to pay, when it is worthwhile.

However, this is probably where my 10-year-old and I depart in our opinion.

Your kids are going to love this movie. Spying and flying dogs, cats and birds, working together to take down one seriously disturbed kitty -- what's not for them to love? Although there was an extended scene that replicated Silence of the Lambs. Needless to say, the kids aren't going to understand that reference, so I'm not at all sure why it was included. Obviously it was an attempt to bring parents into the movie, but it was poorly done and failed miserably.

Parents, what can I say? If it weren't a darkened movie theater, I would say bring a book. Do they still have those Itty Bitty Book Lights? This is not a movie you are going to see with hopes of being entertained. You will see it because your kids are begging for it. If you can get them to go to Despicable Me or The Sorcerer's Apprentice instead, go for it.

Cats & Dogs: The Revenge of Kitty Galore is a boring sequel that should have gone straight to video. The voice talents of heavy hitters such as James Marsden, Christina Applegate, Bette Midler, Sean Hayes, Neil Patrick Harris and Nick Nolte wasted. I am giving Cats & Dogs: The Revenge of Kitty Galore 2-1/2 popcorns.
