Dies und das:

In the soccer stadium scene, production designer James D. Bissell is the face of the fake cardboard standee of the parking lot guard.

Pannen:

Abfolgefehler: When Brody comes upstairs after missing his son's soccer game, he is wearing a complex face mask, with lots of wires. In silhouette, seem from outside, the visor is missing.

Dialogzitate:

Mr. Tinkles: Like a powerful, dark storm, I will make my presence known to the world. Like a seeping mist, I will creep into the dogs' center of power, and make them quake in fear at the very mention of my name!
Sophie the Maid: [Opens the doors and enters] Oh, Mr. Tinkles?

Let a movie be a movie!

Hey, I laughed my butt off watching this film! It was a laugh a minute thrill for me. Once in a great while, Hollywood will actually make a movie for the sole purpose of entertainment, and this film is one of them.

I don't see this as a cruel movie in regards to animals, but it's more like a live action cartoon. We saw this type of thing in the old Tom and Jerry cartoons, and the writers gave the same formula a James Bond/Mission Impossible theme and gave us this great comedy. It's not anti-cat, as someone wrote in these pages, and I say that because the cats are decidedly the funniest characters in the movie. Hey, I own two cats and two dogs, I love them all, and a true animal lover will love this film.

A hilarious triumph! However, I will suggest that if you only love cats, stay away, or you might be offended. Other than that, great film for seeing over and over.
