Storyline;
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!
