Yes, the Cats movie is exactly as bad as it looks

of it in July. Nailed it. Dead on. Haven’t seen such a good call made since the trailer for Roland Emmerich’s eventual bombmocking turns out to be entirely justified. The extent of the travesty at hand was immediately absorbed and expressed. This much is clear after sitting through all 110 minutes of the thing, wishing I could wriggle out of my seat in the movie theater like an actual cat does from the arms of its overbearing owner.

She needs all the help she can get. She plays outcast Grizabella with such sniveling pathos, it’s as if she had no sense of how cartoonish this entire affair, featuring actors overlaid with digital cat features, would come off by design. Jason Derulo practically mumbles through “Rum Tum Tugger.” Rebel Wilson and James Corden simply will not be contained by the ears and fur and turn in particularly charmless versions of roles they’ve already played, or perhaps themselves.

Forget about nine lives; try finding a single convincing one in this writhing pile of excess and celebrity. Its cast of actual humans makes the miserable, expressionless animals of Disney’s CGIMost detrimentally,fails at world-building. Despite the heavy graphical enhancements, it has the cavernous feel of being shot on a sound stage.

And because I don’t plan on sitting through this movie any time soon—I’d rather torture myself with the definitely terrible Star Wars IX—my only knowledge of the film comes from some deranged press interviews with the many actors and singers and dancers leaping about in Cats.
