| Rating |  | | Date | February 17, 2005 | | Summary | Delightful Movie And A Must For Christina Ricci Fans | Content
 | A cat (in the literal sense of the word) "witnesses" a kidnapping, and one of his owners' (Christina Ricci) heads to FBI HQ to file a report. Naturally,(at least behind her back) they laugh at her information, but soon appoint one of their own to head the investigation. Kitty had some clues on him (literally), and the team decides to tail him (pardon the pun), hoping he would lead them to where the clues came from, which proves easier said than done. He ends up making the agents look like a bunch of bafoons. Will the agents catch the kidnappers? Will they even figure out there was a kidnapping? Will I ever get to arm wrestle Brooke Shields? To get the first two answered, you'll need to see the movie. The latter will depend on if her agent will let Brooke accept the challenge. If you want a movie the whole family can get a good laugh in, you will want to order this one. The film is a comedy and has good action with a brush of suspense. One of the cutest scenes is when the butcher and the security guard "run across the field" so to speak and kiss. If you're a Ricci fan, you'll see plenty of her charming self throughout the movie. Would make an ideal Birthday/Christmas gift for anyone especially a Christina Ricci fan. |

| We originally rented this movie from Netflix and my 4 year old son loved it so much that he did not want to return it. I searched every store to purchase this movie and finally came to Amazon to purchase it for him. I have not seen the original movie but I too liked this movie. The charaters are entertaining and all the little plots keep you interested. I think that it is a must purchase for any cat lover. |

| Though some parts were predictable and the plot a little weak, it was all in all a fun remake. Besides, I'd watch anything with Christina Ricci. She's great. ;) |

| This is one remake that shouldn't have been made! The only thing it has in common with the original is that a cat came home wearing a wristwatch on his neck, everything else is a totally new story that doesn't make any sense. It appears that the current producers disliked the original plot so they added a bunch of silly subplots just to fill space. The lady butcher in love with a security guard leaving packages of meat on his doorstep, the "bloody twig" clue which turned out to be a maraschino cherry stem, the person who hasn't left their apartment for years, etc. were all distracting elements that nobody would have missed had they been left out. My sons hadn't seen the original yet, and they thought this movie was stupid. They did enjoy the original when I rented it the following week. |

| While the remake version of "That Darn Cat" was pretty good, it pales in comparison to the classic original with the Siamese Cat. Instead of spending my money on this version, I will anxiously await the day when the original 1965 version of "That Darn Cat" comes to DVD ! |
