kilorulez First off, what people don't realize in this film is that it is an attempt by Disney to create an art flick that represents many television shows that were popular when the original movie came out. For instance, the reference to Monte Carlo is pointing to Herbie goes Bananas, in which the same car that the criminals in That Darn Cat was used in Monte Carlo. Also, the scene where the car jumps over the police car is a reference to the Dukes of Hazard county, who like to jump over Boss Hoggs (another rent-a-cop with a butch). These are but two of many references to old television shows and movies that Disney sought to represent in this underrated piece. Too bad they aimed at the wrong target audience. It has gone the way of Cabin Fever.
gluba2000 Nothing annoys me more is when I come over here to IMDB and see all of these adults that need to get a life rating and reviewing kids movies saying "Oh goodness! The characters were a bore! Not enough scenes for (so & so) oh and (so&so's) character was so annoying!" It's a damn kids movie!The movie was made to amuse KIDS not you pathetic adults who certainly need to get a life...Anyways I saw this when it came out (I was 7 or 6, don't remember) and I liked it. I was a kid and I liked it.I'm sure I saw it now me being 14 I wouldn't like it, but why I wouldn't like it is because the movie isn't made for me, it's made for kids.If you're a parent and see this is a video store rent it for your little kids, they'll like it.
pireid I am really at a loss as to how anyone could give this movie a 10 (or even more than a 2!). It is full of bad lines, bad acting, bad slapstick, etc. I never thought I could see worse acting than the purposefully badly acted scenes at the beginning of UHF, but this was it. And just when you think it can't possibly get any worse, it does! Over and over again! You actually could have watched this in a theater? It wasn't worth free on TV! My 4-year-old and 1-year-old liked it some, but they wanted to see the cat more and the cat was almost never on.
wmcbrine But I still enjoyed watching her, so I gave it a 3 instead of a 1. Her expressions are priceless. Some of the other cast members (e.g., Michael McKean) are really slumming, too. The cat himself is somewhat amusing. Aside from that, the movie is all cliche, culminating in a much-too-long car chase. (It's also at this point that the movie becomes unnecessarily crude, having been very "family" until then.)
