Cats and Dogs

So, Cats and Dogs. I much prefer the former myself, despite their apparent association with being evil. But, that aside we have canine heroes in this film as the two wage a secret war on each other.

We find a young, adorable puppy named Lou who is voiced by Toby Maguire (who is not adorable). He is quickly adopted into the home of a scientist played by Jeff Goldblum, despite his allergy to dogs. It seems that he is working on creating a cure for man's allergy to canines. This of course, makes the cats rather unhappy about it and lead by their leader Mr. Tinkles (I kid you not) they decide to use it to make all humans allergic to dogs.

Oof.

What follows is a rather boring film as the cats make attempts to steal the formula, while the dogs try to keep them from obtaining it. In the end the cats do get their hands, (er paws?), on the formula and start to put their plan into motion but in the end the dogs save the day.

Thankully this movie is about 10 minutes shorter than most other films, perhaps because they ran out of "interesting" things to do. The acting is rather dull, and my dislike for Goldblum only furthers the lack of interest. CGI and other effects feel sub par and there are more plotholes than I care to address, but I will say this, a dog United Nations council in the earths core. If you can explain that logically I applaud you.
