“Cat and Dog” is a comedy movie written and directed by Reem Kherici starring Franck Dubosc, Reem Kherici and Philippe Lacheau.
This movie is a mix of human actors where only Reem Kherici stands out. She’s inspired, cheerful, and fluid in her role. The two male protagonists just do their job. However, the film introduces two true stars to save the day: a dog and a kitten, two computer-generated characters that truly steal the show.
The script is simple and unassuming. The special effects are nothing outstanding, but the puppy and kitten are so charming that it’s worth overlooking the film’s cinematic shortcomings and simply bask in the cuteness and charm of these two new pals.
Plot
As Monica and Jack prepared for takeoff, they suddenly realized that their respective pets, Diva and Chichi, were missing on the tarmac. Monica’s famous influencer cat and Jack’s dog who had swallowed a stolen ruby had somehow gotten lost. Now, the owners must work together to locate their beloved pets. Little do they know that Brandt, a determined cop on their trail, will stop at nothing to retrieve the stolen ruby.
About “Cat and Dog”
The highlights include a sweet puppy acted by Artus, a charming kitten performed by Inès Reg, and a delightful performance by Reem Kherici, adding human sweetness to the mix. Philippe Lacheau is in his typical comic role, expertly delivered, but with an unfortunately inadequate script, and Franck Dubosc can’t do much with a script that doesn’t suit him.
In “”Cat and Dog”,” the pets are the stars, providing a hilarious movie filled with childlike tenderness. It’s one of those films that serve as a fun pastime. You might not remember it for long, but it leaves a pleasant aftertaste and doesn’t hide its goals: simple, silly, but fun entertainment.
Our Opinion
If you’re capable of reconnecting with your inner child, this movie can offer a good time. It’s not a great film, and only worth watching for the antics of these two lovable pets, yet we must admit that we had an enjoyable time.
Enjoy the film.
