Baby Cat

The plot description of this film is certainly something different and quite original to a degree. About a woman moving into a new area then falling and having a romance with a woman dressed in a cat outfit.

Was expecting this to be a comedy or something quirky with laughs but the overall product is just bizarre and comes off as different for the sake of trying something out of the box. More so cringe and offbeat than actually funny.

The lead actress of Dani is severely miscast and not likeable. The actress playing the woman dressed as the cat (Fawn Winters) does a solid enough job given the role. She does show skin in several scenes, first starting around 23 minutes.

These independent filmmakers seem to think that anything they create that isn't the norm is considered art.

First the budget is noticeably cheap looking especially with the green screen for several background scenes. There are random scenes involving a delivery guy, other scenes with a character named Max whom constantly has their shirt open underneath. Other random scenes involving these crime lord men type people- which does get connected in the end but for the most part are bizarre.

Overall the story was simply bizarre and not much explanations were had (Why did people ignore the cat woman behaving like a cat? How long has she been doing this gimmick? Was her falling for the lead genuine?)

Nothing can prepare you for this movie. Nothing.

Your five year old cousin's son could operate a camera with more ability than the operator/s on this film.

The writer/director was either on drugs or undergoing rectal adjustment surgery during the process of writing and making this film.

The acting - I'm just kidding, there's no acting going on here. The cat chick is hot, that's about it.

Watching this film makes me wonder what its real purpose is because it was not made to entertain or engage an audience. It must be some kind of cover up job tax write-off thing.

Incredible. One of a kind. Unprecedented. Use this part of the review on the cover.

That would be a better name. Because the final cut of this movie is so bad.

• They (probably the editor) zoomed very noticable in on de material in some shots. That's just not done. Because you lose your quality. As is seen in this movie. The zooming was done so bad, you'd think the editor accidently fell asleep on the keyboard en never noticed what he just did.

• Than the keying. Are there even application that don't have an instand key-effect in the effecten bin. (Drop on clip and select color.)

In one instance they open a door and there is something going in the shot wich could have easely been prevented by a simple mask.

• The most amateurish is the fact that the editor left a flash frame. Around the 17th minute.

• And never use a moving background when you a going to key a shot over that (moving) shot.

So why did I watch the whole thing and why the two stars?

The two main girls. They were great. In their own way.

First I have to give credit to Natalie Cotter (Dana) and Fawn Winters (Cat). They gave their all in their roles in perhaps one of the worst movies ever made. Dana moves to LA, and works writing reports for an oil company. As an example of how bad the script it, she is stated as making reports of where to dig for oil. Oil is drilled! The office is a total joke. There is a back story of drugs, using stereotypes of mob activity. It is thrown in at random. When she opens her door, there is clearly green screen to show a balcony, except the scene jumps all over the place, and the hues change. The color hues also change in various scenes, and at least one green screen isn't even properly placed for being background. There are even place cards for scenes that are part of the movie. Some of the inserted scenes defy any logic. There is a difference between low budget and shear incompetence. This is the latter. There are movies that are so bad they are good. This one is simply bad. The two actors gave their all in their roles, so I will recognize that, and give it two stars. They aren't responsible for the incompetence.

A woman falls in love with a female who acts and dresses like a cat??!!!

Let's break down how I got to 6 stars:

Special effects - 0 stars. I've never seen worse green screens.

Plot - 2 stars. It actually made more sense (which is saying absolutely nothing) as it went along

Actors - 8 stars. They owned their roles, no matter how outlandish they might be. And it takes a special kind of courage to:

A. Dress and act and "speak" like a cat for an entire movie

B. Pretend to fall in love with a person who dresses, acts, and "speaks" like a cat for an entire movie.

Honestly, I could have stopped 10 minutes in and not think I missed anything. But the longer I watched, the more I appreciated what they we're trying to do.

Also, extra stars for the Lisa London appearance.
