Oscar®-winning director Tom Hooper (The King’s Speech, Les Misérables, The Danish Girl) transforms Andrew Lloyd Webber’s record-shattering stage musical into a breakthrough cinematic event. Cats stars James Corden, Judi Dench, Jason Derulo, Idris Elba, Jennifer Hudson, Ian McKellen, Taylor Swift, Rebel Wilson and introduces Royal Ballet principal dancer Francesca Hayward in her feature film debut. Featuring Lloyd Webber’s iconic music and a world-class cast of dancers under the guidance of Tony-winning choreographer Andy Blankenbuehler (Hamilton, In the Heights), the film reimagines the musical for a new generation with spectacular production design, state-of-the-art technology, and dance styles ranging from classical ballet to contemporary, hip-hop to jazz, street dance to tap.
Wow! This was . . . . . . . . . something. And not remotely in a good way. I watched this from beginning to end with a WTF look glued on my face. I know that I saw the musical when I was pretty young and thought it was weird but not THIS weird. This was . . . . . . . . . . something. I will never understand what made all of the incredible talent involved in this think it was a good idea. Like how mid-filming did none of these people say wait . . . . . . NO! This is hot garbage and we are going to become the biggest punchline of the year.
I want to say that I don't recommend anyone seeing this because it is beyond the realm of bad BUT this movie is so bad that it almost makes it a must see just for the massive WTF emotions you go through as watching it.
