Cool Cat Saves the Kids

When this movie's creator pulls down criticism from YouTube such as IHE's video and who knows what else, you know it's bad. He uses copyright strikes through YouTube's incredibly broken copyright system as well as calling people who dislike the movie "haters" and "bullies" like some 13-year-old making Minecraft let's plays. Removing any reviews which don't praise the work does not suddenly make it good, and shouldn't fool anyone. The expectations this sets up are entirely justified - besides the terrible acting, shaky camera-work, and cringeworthy dialogue, this is probably the only movie that somehow still thinks large yellow Comic Sans is an acceptable font.

As a child, I was bullied every step of the way. So I always looked up to Cool Cat for advice. I was thrilled to find out that Cool Cat was finally made into a movie! Cool Cat Saves the Kids sets a fantastic example for children and young adults on how to stand up to bullying -- with payback! Inspired by this movie, I decided to apply what I learned. However, I was promptly arrested. While it may not have worked in my case, I'm sure that this movie will help somebody stand up to bullying! That's why I'm leaving a good summary, but a bad score. Its life lessons are good in theory, but they don't always work, and they need to make that more clear.

This poor excuse for a movie is terrible. It has been 'so good it's bad' for a while, and the high ratings are a good form of sarcasm, I have to admit. But now it has to stop. Technically inept, spoon-feeding mundane messages with the artistic weight of an eighties' commercial, hypocritical to say the least, it deserves to fall into oblivion. Mr. Derek, I hope you realize you are like that weird friend that everybody know is lame, but out of kindness and Christian duty is treated like he's cool or something. That works if you are a good decent human being, not if you are a horrible arrogant bully like you are. Yes, Mr. 'Daddy' Derek will end on the history books of the internet for being a delusional sour old man who thinks to be a good example for kids, but actually has a poster of Kim Jong-Un in his closet. Destroy this movie if you all have a conscience, as I hope IHE and all other youtube channel force-closed by Derek out of SPITE would destroy him in the courts.

Thought "The Godfather", "Star Wars", "Goodfellas" and "Fight Club" are amazing masterpieces that simply cannot be topped by any other filmmaker of this generation? Think again! With "Cool Cat Saves the Kids", directed by the always impressive Derek Savage, it tackles difficult issues such as disability, bullying, pedophilia, schizophrenia, and the urge to dress as a cat that loves babies with such deft and well-crafted hand that comparing this to any other film out there would be nothing but shameful. This film is layered with complex and fully-realized characters (where else will you see a child skipping on the sidewalk? It's amazing!), multi-layered story lines that aren't always easy to follow but are engrossing nonetheless, terrific performances, top-notch editing, witty humor, and the much-discussed ending that allows audiences to ponder about Cool Cat's motivations and what would become of his future. It even has some clever social-commentary about the dangers of deleting YouTube movie reviews for "copyright issues" even though you're doing it just to hide your deepest emotions. Don't miss this!

It is, as Cool Cat says, "GROOOOVY!"

This film is an abomination. There is no movie making know-how - it's a badly made home-made movie. Apart from the awful acting, lack of discernible plot, terrible lighting, and clichéd dialogue, it's got terrible advice on bullying.

I advise any parents whose children are being bullied to read Sticks and Stones by Emily Bazelon (this isn't a book to read with your children, it's quite heavy) rather than get their kids to watch this trite garbage, which is frankly a dangerous approach to handling bullying!

A good review by "I Hate Everything" among others on YouTube is under heavy attack by the creator of this film, despite having kept within Fair Use licensing... so much for free speech and the right to criticize. There is currently a petition on change.org if you'd like to support IHE.
