    This is probably the most terrible thing I've ever seen.

    Like how the crap is this rated 7.8 OUT OF 10!? When ever you get bullied via. text, email, etc. you DON'T write back! I have learned that when ever you get bullied via. email or text you just block their E-mail address and/or phone number. Also, comic sans, I can't make that up! Acting is off the charts in-terms of bad, you SHOULD call the police when you find a gun lying somewhere and you can see the shadows of the camera men. Cliché kicking over sandcastle bullying, I can see why you would want to stop bullying but... By making an terrifically dull move is not the way to go about it. So my final rating for this terrible piece of garbage is a -3 out of 10.

    If you can't take criticism, make a better movie. If you cant do that, don't make one at all

    Cool cat saves the kids is a bad movie, a very bad movie. I think everyone knows that by now. But not even the movie itself can be compared to how disgustingly hypocritical the creator turned out to truly be. Derek Savage. Enough with the joke reviews. Cool Cat Saves The Kids really is a joke, and not the funny type. Its a movie that makes you cringe in fear of what was going through people's heads while filming it and why the hell they thought this movie would be right, or even appropriate for children. And even though movies can be bad, i rarely ever have anything against the director for making it, like it's not offending me in anyway. It's their vision, their movie. I really don't have anything in me that wants me to hate them for it. But that was before Mr Savage decided to blackmail an amazing YouTuber called I Hate Everything for attempting to have a stab at the movie just for a bit of entertainment. What followed was Derek, a 50 year old man, deliberately trying to frighten, intimidate and threaten a young adult for simply trying to review a movie. Sure IHE might have said some nasty things, but any normal director would have just moved on and try to learn from their mistakes. But that was nothing compared to what IHE got in return. Threatening a young man to go to court for simply reviewing a movie. If your reading this Derek Savage, all I'm trying to tell you is..... Just grow up. You're a 50 something year old man, you've spent a lot more time on this world than IHE has, so why are you acting like a child, and even more so... and ironically a bully. Act like a mature person and stop bullying people that are smaller than you. Everything Cool Cat stands for.

    Absolutely Brilliant!

    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.

    Terrible, Not Good Advice for Bullying

    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.

    creator censors criticism

    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.

    • Trivia
      In 2015, numerous YouTubers posted negative reviews of this film. Derek Savage had almost all of them removed, claiming they violated copyright, though his announcement video contradicted that. The Youtubers fought back, and each review was put back up. Ironically, Savage bullied numerous people because he disagreed with their review of his anti-bullying film.
