Nine Lives

What can I say, the movie is really silly, but that cat is so beautiful that it's almost a shame being upset because of a dumb screenplay. Surely, Barry Sonnenfeld is no newbie; he knows how to make a family movie. And I have to admit, he succeeded. Don’t go looking for any cinematic qualities, but cat-lovers will surely be satisfied.
