Beanbioca As Good As It Gets

Gutsycurene Fanciful, disturbing, and wildly original, it announces the arrival of a fresh, bold voice in American cinema.

Sarita Rafferty There are moments that feel comical, some horrific, and some downright inspiring but the tonal shifts hardly matter as the end results come to a film that's perfect for this time.

Di Bobi So this was for real made in 2013? When I was in my early teens in the 90's I was able to produce more realistic visual effects with no skills whatsoever.I mean, really, in this day and age it takes literally zero skill to buy CrazyTalk or similar software to easily make your cat "talk" and not embarrass yourself and all the people involved in this... uh... movie...Why in the world do people with no movie knowledge and skills whatsoever chose to do movies? Find something you're GOOD at, and do that.And no, I don't recommend watching this because only just a few scenes are joyfully laughable, because they're utterly ridiculous, the rest is boring and makes no sense. Just watch the JonTron review of the movie for the highlights or something.The fact that "movies" like this actually exist is fascinating. It shows that we failed as a species.

arihoptman Yep, that about sums it up.I'm writing this review mostly because I feel compassion for Johnnie Whitaker, who deserved something better. I also feel it for the relatively inexperienced teenage actors, because they did, too. And Eric Roberts, well, I sincerely hope he got paid a lot for his literally phoned-in performance. Just a whole lot of money.So, this "movie" (as it's been categorized). Awkward conversations that don't advance the plot, an endless series of establishing shots, and the longest and most pointless closing credit sequence ever cut together are the things you will find here. And very little else, it turns out.Well, maybe that's wrong: there's an inadvertently gay subtext. Oh and, yes, as another reviewer observed, there is indeed a talking cat that is a key part of the story somehow.

chow913 Where oh where to begin? How about with the director's credits of TEN films a year for the past five years!!! Is it any surprise they're all horrible? Maybe he's just trying to outdo Godfrey Ho's record of five films a year. He should learn from Ho and use unreleased Hong Kong romantic comedy footage redubbed to pad out his films instead of just the opening credits.Just to clarify, this movie is NOT about a "talking" cat and is NOT about "a family" and the characters do NOT have "problems" (other than being boring) and the cat shown in IMDb's images is NOT the cat in the movie. So as usual IMDb can't get basic facts about the film right.So anyway, this film is about two neighboring families, a widower and his son, and a middle aged single mother. What's going on in their lives? NOTHING!!! There no conflict or narrative hook at all!!! The characters just sit around texting or playing video games. Even the characters are bored with their own movie.The only thing happening is a cat wanders in and out of their California homes. Wow, a cat, narrated by Eric Roberts. So an actor who's built his whole career playing stalkers, rapists, slimeballs, and other criminals is cast to voice a female cat in a children's film? By "narrated" I mean he's (or she's since the cat's female) "talking" to the audience NOT the people actually in the movie!!!The cat doesn't actually do ANYTHING!!! That's why cats make such poor subject matter for films. Think about how many films come to mind based around cats. Disney's 'That Darn Cat' and a Hammer Horror B&W film about a murder victim coming back as a cat to avenge his death. No, Stephen King's 'Cat's Eye' really isn't about a cat. It just had a cat in it!Let's face it, house cats don't do anything but lounge around. So why should we be surprised by the results of film based around a cat.I didn't even recognize the fat middle aged blonde as Kristine DeBell the cutie from 'Meatballs' and 'Battle Creek Brawl' who previously worked as a hardcore porn actress. And when I say "hardcore" I mean "HARDCORE" quadruple penetration! (not kidding)This movie is gouge your eyes out bad.

Victoria Scott Wow, this movie is truly an exceptional work of art - it's heartwarming and heart-breaking in equal measure.How incredible to see the world through a cat's eyes - and not just any cat! Duffy is a cat of unusual depth and wisdom.The special effects are unmatched in excellence, except by the acting. And the soundtrack? If Mozart played the synthesizer, he would write this! Truly, this is the film of the year.Quote: "Is that a cat? I wonder what it wanted!""You know, I've spent a lifetime working in office buildings, drinking coffee. I'm no Humphrey Bogart.""I am too good sometimes." -Cat
