Rottentomatoes tomatometer Tomatometer Despite its fur-midable cast, this Cats adaptation is a clawful mistake that will leave most viewers begging to be put out of their mew-sery. | 4 | |

CommonSenseMedia Lynette Nicholas Big-screen musical adaptation is both strange and magical. | 10 | |
ScreenIt Jim Judy I’m still slack-jawed and trying to process what I witnessed. Fans of the stage production might enjoy all or parts of it, but even with my love of cats in general, I couldn’t force myself to love or even like this offering. Weird just about any and every way one looks at it. | 6 | |
