I took Jack and Will to see this yesterday and based on the title - I had high hopes. Unfortunately, the title was one of the highlights.
For me, it had a lot of subtle movie humor that only adults would pick up on. I enjoyed the title sequence being similar to The Spy Who Loved Me; the fact that Roger Moore was one of the voices; the bad cat had metal teeth and was called "Paws" and the whole Silence of the Lambs part was pretty clever.
Unfortunately, it was halfway through the movie before I realized neither boy had laughed once. I knew they were still sitting right behind, and that their funny bone was still in place because they roared at the hilarious antics of the Road Runner and Wile E Coyote in the cartoon. But not a peep during the actual movie.
I was also disturbed once again by the portrayal of cat owners. Still a lot of room for improvement although I did laugh at the cat lady and her label as an "enabler" for giving her cats catnip.
So - OK for adults, a snooze for kids. They didn't even laugh at the dogs sniffing each other's butts part.
Final tally - 2 Paws out of 5.
