This film has had some scathing reviews, but I'm not entirely sure why. It's a film about talking cats and dogs....its not meant to be Casablanca. Having said that there is only one audience for this and that is tiny tots or cat and dogs lovers up for some supreme silliness. If you're neither of that demographic then, OK, you really won't like this. For the rest you can enjoy an admittedly unoriginal plot (cats and dogs joining forces? Never!) that throws in mostly visuals gags via some CGI that ranges from amusingly good to amusingly bad. Of course, you can also play the guess the actor voicing the animal game, if you're up to the mark on the Hollywood C-List that is. The thing I found most interesting about this film though was the budget, $85 million. $85 million! Where has that money gone? Obviously this film is effects heavy, but I can't believe that it was to that tune of money. Unless the answer is that Chris O'Donnell demands a particularly expensive rider these days. So, this isn't good nor bad, but if you think this is rubbish because its not Inception, then you need a dog house all to your self.
The OC Film Sting Final Verdict
Tough to rate this one, but I can't believe you won't get some enjoyment out of this if you're one of the above mentioned target audience. Rating: 6/10
