Cats & Dogs

Professor Brody (Jeff Goldblum) is a mad scientist type who spends his days locked in the test tube-filled basement of his upper middle-class home, in hopes of developing a potential cure for dog allergies. A group of vigilante felines, led by Persian cat Mr. Tinkles, sets out to sabotage the professor's work in a bid to take over the world. The dogs, in order to protect their standing as man's best friend, decide to send out their best undercover agent to protect the professor's lab and the Brody household, but a barnyard snafu results in them sending Lou, an unsuspecting and clumsy beagle instead. Rather than replace the unskilled pup, the dogs decide to make do with what they have and attempt to train Lou to be a cutthroat agent. Lou's greatest challenge, however, is that he is not allowed to develop a bond with the Brody's, which would interfere with his mission and the greater good of dogs all over the world.



It's a cute story that unfortunately gets boring really quickly, which is not a good thing for a film marketed to kids with short attention spans.


  • Cast: Joe Pantoliano the voice of Peek, Tobey Maguire as the voice of Lou, Sean Hayes behind the voice of Mr Tinkles and Susan Sarandon as the voice of Ivy.
