From Director Barry Sonnenfeld and the team behind the
worldwide box office hit (Men In Black Trilogy) comes a hilarious fantasy
comedy… A stuffy businessman finds himself trapped inside the body of his
family's cat.
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 his daughter's party, Tom has a terrible
accident. When he regains consciousness he discovers that somehow, he has
become trapped inside the body of the cat. Adopted by his own family, he begins
to experience what life is truly like for the family pet, and as a cat, Tom
begins to see his family and his life through a new and unexpected perspective.
Meanwhile, his family adjusts to life with an odd and stubborn cat, and his son
David (Robbie Amell), steps up in ways Tom never expected.
If any hope exists of returning to his family as the husband
and father they deserve, Tom will have to learn why he has been placed in this
peculiar situation and the great lengths he must go to earn back his human
existence.

ReplyDeleteWhich, to be fair, sounds like an awesome movie. Honestly, as much as I want to be like “This is stupid, no one will ever go see this,” I have to tell you: I will totally go see this.
There are so many weird things about this trailer, from its overly polished, bright color palette to that strange cat shop. And what the hell is Christopher Walken doing in this movie? And is Jennifer Garner have so much trouble finding work that she has Miracles from Heaven and this movie in theaters in the same year?
ReplyDeleteI'm not really a cat person, but the story is what I'm talking about. Workaholic parent who doesn't have time for their family has something mystical happen, throwing their world into confusion and providing a hard lesson of what is important.
ReplyDeleteKevin Spacey looks like he’s in a foul mood throughout, which is understandable. It also seems that he’s done a Garfield, as despite receiving top billing, it’s mainly his voice that we hear which was probably recorded while he was burning money and laughing maniacally.
ReplyDeleteNo one was more excited than us over the release of Nine Lives, a film starring Kevin Spacey as a man stuck inside a cat.
I have to say that sometimes I have to watch a trailer a couple of times just to work out what the text flying at my face is saying, often because it is interspersed with exciting action scenes that make me forget what the previous word said!
