Cats & Dogs (2001)

Okay, so there's some mildy clever stuff in the film's final third. But why exactly this inane, noisy and frenetically unfunny load of bollocks inspired so many kind critical reviews is a question for which I will never have an answer. When will Hollywood get the idea that talking-animal movies, with few exceptions, just don't friggin' work? And count me among the growing number of filmgoers who believe that it is decidedly uncute when animals have their facial expressions manipulated by computer animation. Isn't there some other, more worthy project that all this CGI money could be wasted on? That beagle puppy sure is cute, though.
