Summary
RATING: PG for animal action and humor
Starring Christina Applegate, Michael Clarke Duncan, Neil Patrick Harris, Sean Hayes, James Marsden, Nick Nolte, Joe Pantoliano, and Bette Midler
In the age-old battle between cats and dogs, one crazed feline has taken things a paw too far. Kitty Galore, formerly an agent for cat spy organization MEOWS, has gone rogue and hatched a diabolical plan to not only bring her canine enemies to heel, but take down her former kitty comrades and make the world her scratching post. Faced with this unprecedented threat, cats and dogs will be forced to join forces for the first time in history in an unlikely alliance to save themselves - and their humans. It's time for the fur to fly. (Warner Bros. Pictures)

San Francisco Chronicle Amy Biancolli
In this case, it's considerably better, adapting the 007 template in a story of a crazed bald cat named Kitty Galore (voiced by a hissing, chichi Bette Midler) and her malevolent plot to conquer the world. It's brilliant in its simplicity.
Read Full Review >Variety Joe Leydon
A faster, funnier follow-up in which CGI-enhanced canines and felines effect a temporary truce to combat a common enemy.
Read Full Review >New York Post Billy Heller
With action aplenty, talking animals and enough gags to make any sane grown-up groan, "The Revenge of Kitty Galore" is a harmless but fun hot-weather diversion for the family.
Read Full Review >St. Louis Post-Dispatch Joe Williams
Between the carefully trained animals and their computer-animated mouths, the movie doesn't have much room for realism; but the 3-D effects are surprisingly effective, and this playful pic earns a pat on the head.
Read Full Review >Arizona Republic Bill Goodykoontz
A clever, funny movie that will entertain kids and adults.
Read Full Review >The Hollywood Reporter Kirk Honeycutt
This isn't so much that the story and characters are weak -- though they very much are -- but that animatronics and computer animation so anthropomorphize these critters that they bear more resemblance to cartoons than actual flesh-and-fur animals.
Read Full Review >Boston Globe Ty Burr
Stands to delight small children while probably causing their parents’ heads to cave in.
Read Full Review >USA Today Claudia Puig
Though better than its 2001 predecessor -- and teeming with cute creatures and fast and furious action scenes -- the movie feels excessively formulaic.
Read Full Review >St. Petersburg Times Steve Persall
The movie is geared to preschoolers, so only parents dragged with them may complain. There's only that Looney Tunes overture to savor before the Acme production begins.
Read Full Review >Empire Ian Nathan
Nine years on from the first movie but somehow the effects have gone backwards and the charm has gone missing.
Read Full Review >Philadelphia Inquirer Steven Rea
Parents in a masochistic mood can compound the headache-inducing experience by paying extra for the 3-D version.
Read Full Review >LA Weekly Michelle Orange
About as unremarkable as a film about talking animals organized into competing intelligence agencies can be.
Read Full Review >The New York Times Mike Hale
Mostly, though, “Kitty Galore” is a grind, as well as proof that “What up, dog?” isn’t any funnier when a pigeon says it to a dog.
Read Full Review >Austin Chronicle Marc Savlov
Although it’s great fun for the under-8 set and for those of us monitoring the chaos theory that is Nolte's career of late, this film is otherwise mediocre and features some of the most uninvolving 3-D CGI since "Clash of the Titans" earlier this year.
Read Full Review >The Globe and Mail (Toronto) Jennie Punter
Aside from uninspired movie-parody gags, Cats & Dogs: The Revenge of Kitty Galore suffers from gadget overload.
Read Full Review >Washington Post Dan Kois
Is it mindless fun for the kids in an air-conditioned environment? I guess, sure, but it's maddening how many details in Cats & Dogs: The Revenge of Kitty Galore are swiped wholesale from other stories.
Read Full Review >Entertainment Weekly Adam Markovitz
No movie -- whether aimed at adults or kids or canines themselves -- has the right to be as tiresome and unoriginal as this action-comedy mutt.
Read Full Review >Boxoffice Magazine Steve Ramos
Fails to deliver enough clever gags, emotional warmth, or eye-popping 3D to compete with recent family releases.
Read Full Review >Los Angeles Times Glenn Whipp
As for the movie itself, it is better than the original "Cats & Dogs." But so is a rabies shot.
Read Full Review >New York Daily News Joe Neumaier
The James Bond parodies and genre riffs feel at least 20 years past their prime, and most will fly right over the heads of audience members 7 and under.
Read Full Review >The Onion (A.V. Club) Scott Tobias
And it’s still, in the spirit of the original film, an unbelievable piece of sh--.

Rick A gave it a7:
Great movie to take all the family to. I enjoyed this a lot and found it quite entertaining which is why I go to movies. I guess the critics go for deeper meanings to movies or something because I can not figure why it was so poorly rated by them.
Chad S. gave it a6:
An announcement made over the PA during German Shephard's orientation is about as funny as anything in Zucker/Abraham/Zucker's "Airplane", the 1980 comedy classic that spoofed "Airport"-type movies, for instance, Jack Smight's "Airport 75", the one with the stewardess flying the plane. Although "Cats and Dogs: The Revenge of Kitty Galore" never quite gives "Austin Powers" a run for its money, as far as James Bond send-ups go, this unwarranted sequel is reasonably smart, especially when you consider it's primarily an exercise in talking animals, the most dreaded of all children movie subgenres. Nevertheless, the film has a brain, albeit a pigeon's brain, the size of a pea, as evidenced by the scene where a cat rides a motorcycle, a cat incognito, lodged inside a human dummy. In a lesser talking animals movie, the filmmaker wouldn't bother to acknowledge how people may react to the miracle of a kitty on two wheels. At Alcatraz, however, rather than have a cat mimic Hannibal Lecter, in yet another tired "Silence of the Lambs" parody, why not mimic the Zodiac killer instead, since the island prison is off the coast of San Francisco? In this alternative universe, cat and dog technology is clearly ahead of our technology, so the same should be true for canine and feline law enforcement. The animals could bitch and moan about how David Fincher got it all wrong. As for Kitty Galore(a chi chi voiced superbly by Bette Midler), her plan to turn the humans against the dogs sidesteps her real grudge, which is the humans themselves. The popular belief that dogs need human companionship more than cats could've been explored, as man's best friend, once again, would have to save the city from the Zodiac killer, a cat. Kitty Galore's hench-cat looks demented enough to play the part, but due to the constraints of a children's movie, the violence is tempered, limited to knives stuck in a stuffed toy, as the chi chi obviously doesn't need her human owner, a magician(played by Jack McBrayer)."Cats and Dogs: The Revenge of Kitty Galore" eventually runs out of inspiration(there is the occasional funny line interspersed throughout the otherwise routine screenplay), and resorts to ripping off Barry Sonnenfeld's "Men in Black".
Courtney P. gave it a7:
It was an okay movie filled with corny jokes and dry humor. I just don't know why the film makers would spend $85,000,000 on something that would wind up to be a piece of crap.
Mike H. gave it a1:
Really, it's rated PG for "Animal Action"? It's as if their making up things to rate it PG for. PG is the New G.
Alan G gave it a0:
A horrible piece of crap. It makes the first one look bad. It makes battlefield earth look bad.
