A Street Cat Named Bob

This time I failed to block out the cynic in me, so I wasn't moved by the story of a homeless junkie and his feline slave. I have two cats at home that I take exemplary care of, so I know that there is a major difference between a stray cat and a cat that owns its owner. This is why the filmmakers couldn't make me believe that Bob had been living on the streets. He looked like he had just come back from a cat show. I couldn't even make myself like the main character. I just don't like junkies, regardless of what got them addicted. Plus, my opinion of buskers is negatively affected by my all-too-frequent encounters with one such "musician" in my town; the awful sounds he made using his flute will haunt me for the rest of my days. So, no, I’m not planning to watch this movie ever again. (29/08/2017)

I like movies with a positive message. You can be anything if you want it and you have someone to help you through it. It doesn't matter if it's a human or a random redheaded cat. A movie that certainly doesn't particularly speak to the situation of addicts or the homeless, on the other hand maybe someone will start to care because of it. Plus, it's a cat movie, and that's what's hot right now; after all, cats are supposedly good for helping people de-stress. Nothing special about the film, but it can't hurt to watch it. (12/06/2017)

If you love cats, I highly doubt that you will give this film less than the full five stars.A beautiful, deeply felt movie of how a man is saved by his animal friend can’t be bad.I watched it with interest for the whole 103 minutes and I wondered that the paths of life are really unpredictable, and anything can happen in the world.I felt good.The director worked really hard to make Bob an acting celebrity.Even though the cat is identical to the hero of the story.And when you add in the pleasant music, you are gonna wish that this story never ends.After watching it I did some googling and I have to say this film is an exemplary case of how glad I am that films exist, as they have an obvious beginning and end.The reality can be much sadder… and more real. But that is not what this film is about so I can really recommend it to you.I haven’t seen a nicer deeper story than this one in a long time. (25/03/2017)

A nice, straightforward story about how one person managed to overcome the drugs they had been using long-term. The film is essentially a confession adapted from a book, and this time the cat isn't just some pseudo-cute tool for the audience but serves as the only therapy that truly helped James. The story isn't unnecessarily exaggerated, and it’s good. (16/01/2017)
