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.
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.
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.

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.
