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.

I'm struggling to find a way to begin this review because of how awful this film is. I may have said in my title that this is 'The Room' for kids, but I wouldn't say that The Room was as bad as this. The Room actually has that one scene that is decent where Tommy Wiseau actually recounts an experience from his life. This has what I can only describe as a future lawsuit with Hanna Barbera (due to Cool Cat's likeness with Top Cat characters) whose father is a human who makes risqué comments to his cat wife that I would deem inappropriate for a children's film. Firstly, I would like to point out that the antagonist is the least realistic bully on the planet. Everyone experiences bullying at some point in their lives, and this is not like ANY bully that exist anywhere or has existed ever. Bullies don't stand behind your car cackling like a cartoon as they send you cyber hate mail. Secondly, Daddy Derek is creepy. If kids were to see their own fathers acting like this, they would know that their mother is probably suffering and that they will be his next victim. Lastly, Eric Estrada is looking so bloody awful that I had no idea it was him. I thought he had hit a low point when he appeared in that My Name is Earl episode, but this must be rock bottom. In conclusion, Tommy Wiseau is better than Derek Savage. I am a student who is currently studying childcare and on placement in a nursery, and I'd rather show them The Room than this as it would make more sense to them, myself and the other members of staff.

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!"

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.

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.
