A hokey, paint-by-numbers live-action Disney film, produced with all the care and concern of a cheap TV sitcom. You want more info than what's provided by the title alone? Picture a feline in a crashed spaceship with a magic collar. When the collar glows, the cat can speak telepathically and move objects with its mind. Kitty needs a fortune in gold as raw material to return to his home planet and enlists a dopey trio of cut-rate scientists to help him get it. That's about it. At least the lead animal is charismatic. Surprisingly chill, too, given the vast amounts of weird stuff he's expected to endure. His human counterparts don't fare so well, but they don't really have a chance. There's just nothing worth sinking their teeth into. This is bad with a capital B, nothing more than a plodding parade of stiff physical gags, low-rent special effects, obvious attempts to pad the plot and loud, heavy-handed individual performances. A hammy execution of a lame idea, schlocky and meandering, that must've been produced with a general sense of disdain for the intended audience. Even my kids thought it was stupid and boring.
