Perro y gata

This movie is the very definition of a one-time watch. "Chien & Chat" offers a light comedy aimed at a young family audience, but does little to stand out. The story is paper-thin, relying heavily on clichés and slapstick humor that mostly falls flat. The two titular animals are brought to life with very average CGI, which might distract early on but becomes less noticeable as the film progresses.

The chemistry between the cast is serviceable, and some gags do elicit a smile, but they're few and far between. The police officer character tries to carry a good chunk of the humor, but ends up being more annoying than funny in many scenes. The film doesn't really take any risks, doesn't explore anything fresh, and ultimately feels like it's just going through the motions.

If you're looking for a mindless way to pass the time or entertain a child for 90 minutes, it might work, but don't expect to remember anything about it the next day.

I thought this might fit into the "Family Movie" genre, you know - some stuff for the kids, but the adults can be entertained too? The first few minutes were kind of humorous, as we watch what appears to be a burglar escape a cop on his trail. Then the animals showed up. The dog is wildly unconvincing GCI off the bat, and then the cat worse so. Then the pets started talking to each other, and that's when the movie fully jumped the shark. I should have done more research before pressing "start". Or at least watched a trailer.

There's not much else to say; the female lead was pretty, so there's that. Nothing else was memorable. In another 72 hours, I will completely forget that I watched this movie.

... because it is really an odd combination of genres so you are probably going to either love it or hate it. It is like a wedding of Home Alone with its hapless criminal duo and Homeward Bound with its animals - a dog and cat - who basically do not like each other, on the road to find home. And yet this is not a children's film nor really a film for adults either because it is so inane. The probably largely forgotten film "Batteries Not Included" from 1988 comes to mind as having a similar problem. I liked it, but then you put a cat - real or bad CGI as is the case here - as a major character in a film and I'll watch it and probably like it, so I do make that disclaimer.

While I'm mentioning CGI - it's very badly done here. Neither the cat nor the dog look the least bit real. I thought the CGI in 2020's updated version of Call of the Wild was pretty bad, but this makes that film look like a CGI masterpiece. Then there is the dubbing - It is very badly done from the original French Canadian.

So my suspiciously high rating is mainly for people who like cats - even badly rendered ones - and the people who love them.

I love animal movies because I'm a animal person which I'm sure lots of people is, who found this movie. The most intriguing part is knowing the animal characteristics but it's completely baised and unrealistic the cat doesn't even use its inherited senses or reflexes like how is a puppy way smarrter than a cat even house cats know better this is so biased and it makes the woman seem useless and gullible, very sexist if you ask me, her script made her seem dumb the fact the movie made it seem like her only good accomplishment was taking her shirt off, such a biased sexist movie not kid friendly at all either.

A surprisingly witty and sophisticated spy movie spoof that will tickle adult pet lovers and still capture kids

This is a brilliant light hearted, funny and at parts sad. Movies animated characters were lovely addition with an underlying message of unity against prejudice.

A cat (pampered star) and dog (homeless ) unite to find their way back home having to endure many dangerous hurdles along the way. The story was about navigating in a world which lives are lived on social sites and popularity, loneliness.

... and there is a happy ending. It's a great film for the whole family to enjoy.

End.
