I am not usually much given to violent thoughts but I would be willing to head-butt everyone involved in this profoundly irritating piece of pretentious whimsy. A couple adopt Paw-Paw the cat, but realise this basically heralds the loss of their youth and impending deaths (no, really) so they set about exploring life to the fullest before the cat actually turns up. All manner of nonsense takes place, narrated by Paw-Paw the cat himself (voiced by July in a little yowly voice).

It is all done with a level of basic technical competency, but the film's total lack of self awareness (July genuinely seems to think she's making something profound, not completely absurd) makes it a fantastically annoying and frustrating experience. The cinematic experience of nails down a blackboard for an hour and a half.

A juvenile septuagenarian, I am also a mad cat lady, an avid reader downloading to my Kindle every day and finding time to attend my part time accounts and accountancy occupation (read that as mental recreation and hobby)

Book Favorite

"Bulgakov’s suffering under censorship yielded this sparkling novel in which Pontius Pilate shares space with a giant floating black cat, and elsewhere a man confined to a mental hospital for political reasons probably dreamed up the whole thing."

Rolling Stone's 208th greatest album of all time
Good album from Cat Stevens, handily including some of his biggest hits - Wild World and Father & Son, plus the title track as used in the credits of Extras, the sitcom.
