Tom Brand (Kevin Spacey) is a daredevil billionaire at the top of his game. His eponymous company FireBrand is nearing completion on its greatest achievement to date - the tallest skyscraper in the northern hemisphere. But Tom's workaholic lifestyle has disconnected him from his family, particularly his beautiful wife Lara (Jennifer Garner) and his adoring daughter Rebecca (Malina Weissman). Rebecca's 11th birthday is here, and she wants the gift she wants every year, a cat. Tom hates cats, but he is without a gift and time is running out. His GPS directs him to a mystical pet store brimming with odd and exotic cats- where the store's eccentric owner- Felix Perkins (Christopher Walken), presents him with a majestic tomcat, named Mr. Fuzzypants. En route to present his daughter with her dream pet, a bizarre turn of events finds Tom trapped inside the body of Mr. Fuzzypants. Adopted by his own family, he begins to experience what life is truly like for the family pet

Thoughts;
Shaggy Dog is a movie that comes to mind. This clearly isn’t a plot that was original. The only difference is this is a cat. I watched this with one of my little kids. It was cute and definitely teaches a lesson in family togetherness as well as being kind to both humans and animals.

The length of this movie was perfect for a movie that was geared towards kids. It moved around good and there really wasn’t a “down part”. I wish all movies were like this!

Jennifer Garner is an amazing actress and Kevin Spacey can keep up with her! Loved this, it was super cute. Also, did you see that Christopher Walken is in this movie? All movies need Christopher Walken!
