June 23-29 Cat Week: Cats! They’re earth’s funniest creatures (sorry chimps, you’re psychos).

I saw this at the drive-in, a second feature with something else that I can’t remember, but you don’t forget a movie in which a not far from being cancelled Kevin Spacey plays Tom Brand, a workaholic tycoon who becomes a cat.

Yes, he’s also married to Jennifer Garner, so all is well in his world, even if he rarely sees her. He’s too busy building the biggest builder ever or something. He gets his daughter Rebecca (Malina Weissman) a cat to make up for almost forgetting her birthday, buying it from the strange pet store of Felix Perkins (Christopher Walken). As he learns another building will be taller than his, he is blown off the roof and isn’t saved by his assistant Ian (Mark Consuelos). Tom goes to the hospital, near death, but his mind is inside Mr. Fuzzypants.

Directed by Barry Sonnenfeld, who was the cinematographer of Blood Simple, Raising Arizona and Misery, but also directed the Men In Black movies and Get Shorty, not to mention Wild Wild West. Somehow, this was the last movie he would direct. Somehow, this took five writers: Gwyn Lurie, Matt R. Allen, Caleb Wilson, Daniel Antoniazzi and Ben Shiffrin.

But at least Lil Bub was in it.
