About

You’ll likely enjoy this if you want a light, silly family comedy with talking pets, spy gadgets, and lots of slapstick action, similar in spirit to G-Force; Not for you if you want realistic animals or a deeper story.

Pros: funny kid-friendly jokes; memorable animal characters; playful spy action | Cons: thin predictable story; uneven human scenes; cats-as-villains message
