âJust like real spies, only furrier.â

Prequel: âCats and Dogsâ (2001)

An innocent looking puppy brought into a satellite station turns out to be a cat in dogâs clothing. Kitty Galore, rogue agent of the cat organization MEOWS, is there to steal plans that will bring about her revenge upon dogs and the world.

Diggs (James Marsden), a former member of the policeâs K-9 unit, is now literally in the dog house after a botched mission. He becomes the latest recruit of the underground dog network last seen in the original movie âCats and Dogsâ and is âdog-kindâsâ last best hope to stop Kitty Galore (Bette Midler) from driving the worldâs dogs literally insane.

While Diggsâ policeman trainer Shane (Chris O'Donnell) searches for him, Diggs and the team, led by alpha dog Butch (Nick Nolte), reluctantly find themselves in an uneasy alliance with MEOWS and a cat spy named Catherine (Christina Applegate).

Trying to find the evil genius behind this turns out to be no easy task. so, besides tracking down leads, they regretfully find they must also enlist help from their old arch enemy: the imprisoned Mr. Tinkles (Sean Hayes). But time is running out, and the countdown has already begun.

âCats and Dogs: The Revenge of Kitty Galoreâ is not so much a sequel to the 2001 film as âhumanâ screen time is severely limited, and, instead, we dive into a kidâs spy thriller that almost exclusively lives in the canine/feline world.

The homage paid to spy thrillers of the past will go right over kidsâ heads, such as the opening credits ala James Bond, but should be easily recognized by most adults. The best scene involving Mr. Tinkles is a direct parody of âSilence of the Lambsâ and ends up giving the film gravitas in kidsâ minds, while providing chuckles to their parents. The new movie is more serious than its predecessor, and, yet, at the same time, not nearly as dark in its themes.


Language: None. The Lordâs name is not noticeably taken in vain and no profanities were heard.

Violence: Minimal and mostly limited to animals in fight scenes. Whereas, in the original âCats and Dogs,â people were definitely placed in danger, the new film only implies the consequences of dogs driven insane.

Diggsâ failed mission from the beginning involved a human hostage situation, but was quickly resolved, and the only person ever in constant comic peril was Kitty Galoreâs owner, Playlandâs resident magician Chuck the Magnificent (Jack McBrayer).

There is a scene of a cat getting hosed with water that can only be superficially compared to real water torture. Kitty refers to âCat Assassinâ magazine, at one point, for her next operatives.

Overall, this is an inoffensive family-friendly film.


One of the leads confesses âNo matter how hard I try, I mess up.â This echoes what human beings have been saying since the âfallâ; essentially, that our nature doesnât seem to let us do right. The Word of God has attested to this inescapable truth about us for thousands of years, as it also speaks of the cure.

âTherefore, just as sin entered the world through one man, and death through sin, and in this way death came to all men, because all sinnedâ¦â (Romans 5:12).

âSurely I was sinful at birthâ¦â (Psalm 51:5).

ââ¦there is no one who does not sinâ¦â (1 Kings 8:46).

âLook, the Lamb of God, who takes away the sin of the world!â (John 1:29).

âWhat a wretched man I am! Who will rescue me from this body of death? Thanks be to Godâthrough Jesus Christ our Lord!â (Romans 7:10).

When the same character says that âthe only one I can really trust is me,â we should know innately that this is not true. In the film, Diggs comes to trust and depend on his teammates to steer him right, and we cheer him on for doing this. How much better we would do if we followed Godâs advice when he tells us to:

âTrust in the Lord with all your heart and lean not on your own understanding; in all your ways acknowledge him, and he will make your paths straightâ (Proverbs 3:5-6).

âCats and Dogs: The Revenge of Kitty Galoreâ takes the spy thriller genre as seriously as a kids' movie will allow and will appeal greatly to a young audience. Teens and adults without kids will find some amusement by the contemporary references and movie parodies, but will probably be bored, as though they have seen it all beforeâmainly because they have. This film is recommended only for younger kids and their very supportive parents. Note on the 3D version: The film apparently converted scenes to 3D as an afterthought and, as such, is not needed to enjoy this film. PositiveâThis movie was very cute and actually really funny. I laughed out loud a lot. Itâs refreshing to see a movie that is clean. Itâs sad to feel like the only ones I can watch these days in this society are kidâs movies! Fun family flick.

Samantha Taylor, age 35 (USA)
PositiveâThis movie was great! Me and my husband just saw this movie. It was very funny. I think everyone should see it.

Julie D., age 38 (USA)




PositiveâPretty good film! I watched it and enjoyed it! I haven't watched the first one in such a long time, thoughâ¦ this one is good! I would recommend it if you just want something light and fun and silly to watch for once!â¦
