This film was tailor made for the Ailurophobe: if you believe that cats have a hidden agenda and possibly even a secret plan to take over the world then you really cannot miss this movie.

One of the worst insults hurled at one of the main characters is `Dog lover.'

There are quite a few chuckles and some real laugh-out-loud jokes but primarily this is one sight gag after another.

Sean Hayes (Will and Grace, Billy's Hollywood Screen Kiss) is great as the nefarious `Mr. Tinkles,' the leader of the underground cat society, whose biggest threat is the maid of the house in which he resides.

Susan Sarandon and Jon Lovitz turned in their usual great performances as the voices of ‘Ivy' and ‘Calico,' respectively.

Jeff Goldblum makes a great nerd. Compare him to his sexy persona in `Earth Girls Are Easy' and many of his other films and you can see what a multi-dimensional actor he really is.

The sound track by John Debney is perfect … shades of John Williams without being overbearing or detracting from the action on the screen.

While this is primarily a kid's movie there are some adult jokes: the word play on the substance being manufactured by Mr. Tinkles owner, as an example.

This is good summer escapist fare – especially if the theater is air-conditioned and you are not looking for great art. It is entertaining, mindless and a lot of fun.
