Cats & Dogs: The Revenge of Kitty Galore

Description

In the eternal battle between cats and dogs, one crazed
feline has taken things a paw too far. Former elite agent Kitty Galore has
gone rogue and plans to unleash a diabolical device designed to not only bring
her canine enemies to heel but also to take down her former kitty comrades and
make the world her scratching post. Faced with this dire threat, cats and dogs
must work together for the first time ever to save themselves and their
beloved humans from global cat-astrophe. This fantastically fun adventure
features the voice talent of Christina Applegate, Michael Clarke Duncan, Neil
Patrick Harris, Sean Hayes, James Marsden, Bette Midler and Nick Nolte and
stars Chris O’Donnell and Jack McBrayer. A definite improvement
over the original 2001 Cats & Dogs, Cats & Dogs: The Revenge of Kitty Galore
is a brand-new story about an underground world of animal intelligence,
featuring cat spy agency M.E.O.W.S., a dog intelligence agency, and even a
pigeon. They find themselves in the unlikely position of joining forces
against renegade M.E.O.W.S. agent Kitty Galore as she seeks revenge against
dogs and humans in a plan that will destroy the human race and allow her to
rule the world. This 3-D film is a blend of live action, puppetry, and
animation, and the combination of better writing and a cast of talented voice
artists makes the animal spies in this sequel much more believable than in the
previous film. Kitty Galore is unlikable to the core and Bette Midler is
absolutely perfect in the role. Neil Patrick Harris is highly effective as
Lou, head of the dog agency; James Marsden plays the conflicted police-dog-
turned-new-recruit Diggs; Nick Nolte plays fellow canine agent Butch;
Christina Applegate is M.E.O.W.S. agent Catherine; and Katt Williams as Seamus
does a great pigeon. The unlikely cooperation between canine, feline, and bird
leads to an action-adventure that takes the agents from dark back alleys to a
cat house run by a cat lady pushing catnip and even a local carnival. The
action scenes will hold the interest of most children ages 6 to 12, though
many of the adults in the crowd may find them rather on the slow side, and
kids and adults alike will chuckle at the silly jokes and slapstick comedy
that pop up throughout the film. A notable laugh for the adults in the
audience comes in an extended scene that clearly invokes Hannibal Lecter in
The Silence of the Lambs. Add in a robot cat, some silly magician tricks–
including Kitty Galore zipped into a rabbit suit–a squirrel robot that self-
destructs after a quick dance, and the requisite 3-D effects and you’ve got a
perfectly adequate action comedy that kids will enjoy and their parents can
stomach without too much complaining. –Tami Horiuchi
