Leonard, who's one of the cats in this movie, is totally my cat Shoehorn. I saw this movie at SIFF where I think it also won a prize. The screening I was at was sold out and the rest of the audience seemed to really dig it. Its a very funny movie and probably not like anything you've seen before, but, that said, I imagine it will rub some of the viewers the wrong way. The humor is VERY dark, but also VERY hilarious, but its probably not for everyone. That said, I found myself quoting Leonard's lines back to Shoehorn, which I thought was pretty funny, too. I actually hope it comes out somewhere so I can get my friends with (and without) cats to see it too. Maybe not my parents, but who knows. They might like it too.

So much potential, yet so little delivered

I'd give this movie a 10 for concept. The idea of cats communicating without self-censoring skills is fantastic,particularly when voiced as uniquely as they are. However, this movie fails, fails, fails. While I'll not go on about Megan Hensley's lack of credible acting skills (which are painfully obvious), the story felt disjointed. The introduction of other people with their cats--wholly unrelated to the main story--was in part annoying for breaking up the narrative, but also frustrating because the other people seemed to be more interesting than Shelby. This could have been a much better movie with three more fully developed, interwoven and interesting story lines.
