Any movie critic can tell you what a newly released DVD is about & spoil the ending for you. I plan to ruin your entire DVD watching experience by highlighting it's flaws, it's missteps, it's examples of poor editing, casting, and point out the ridiculous holes in the plot. If you're cynical, you'll appreciate this valuable service I'm providing. If you're easily impressed, then don't say I didn't warn you.  - Mean Jean

In a day where "non conventional body type" in the movies means someone 20 pounds overweight, (go ahead & roll around on the floor laughing, I didn't make that up, I swear!) it was nice to see a porker acting alongside Whatsherface Cat Woman. 
 
For those of you who really can't guess what this movie is about, a girl known for her dressing like a fruitcake ability is transformed into a cat with impeccable fashion sense. See that, there's hope for me yet! All I need is an evil boss bent on destroying the world one face at a time, so I can spring in on them & surprise them, foiling their nefarious scheme & get accosted by thugs who kill me & leave me to die on a beach in NY somewhere. Interestingly, this beach had no evidence of medical waste, syringes etc washed up on it, so I'm pretty sure that was someone's backyard pond where they filmed this. Then, she has to go on a quest to discover what has happened to her. She went from not being able to match clothes better than a color blind 4 year old boy to not being able to feed herself besides opening a can of tuna. Is that a good trade?? I'd rather continue to dress like a slob than lose my ability to eat something besides tuna.
 
There was a lot more character development in the Batman movie that dealt with this controversial topic, which is sad considering that this is a full length movie whereas that was only a few minutes of filler in a movie. Helping Whatsherface complete her transformation into a feline dominatrix is the psychic psycho cat lady, I believe she'd be known as a "hoarder" if this were real life. She teaches Ms. W valuable skills movie cats need, like always landing on their feet, martial arts, and Matrix style walking on walls that real life cats do without fail.     
 
Yeah, yeah, I know. Girls don't turn into cat women, this is a stupid idea for a movie. If you were hoping this would enlighten you regarding the mysterious world of cats, stake out Discovery Channel instead, this is a movie by kids, for kids & about kids. Presented within are many helpful suggestions for impressionable minds, such as rescuing cats from window ledges, balancing precariously on all the backs of all the furniture, and what legal office to contact when your boss flushes you down the factory toilet & kills you.
 
Having said that, I was surprised that I liked this movie at all. After all, such a  rollercoaster thrill ride® as this is totally ridiculously farfetched, how could anyone like it? I dunno, maybe because it was a pretty good movie? Benji Bratt was a poor choice as romantic interest in this, he was about as interested in Whatsherface as he was in cleaning her litter box, alternating between seeming to be repelled by her, or bored by her, good thing she dumps him at the end. "Benji, it just isn't gonna work out. You're cardboard & I'm a cat. I'd destroy you & like it, now shove off!" 
 
Though it wasn't such a bad movie, the CCC (Cliché & Contrivances count) ratio for this movie was 4, or one every half hour, putting this movie well within watchable limits. 
 
It's not such a bad movie, buy it used, you'll probably like it.
