Blu-ray Review: “Cats & Dogs 3: Paws Unite!”

Leave a Comment on Blu-ray Review: “Cats & Dogs 3: Paws Unite!”


 

Gwen the Cat and Roger the Dog are secret agents who covertly protect and save the world without humans ever finding out. Their partnership is due to the Great Truce, which has stopped dog and cat hostility for a decade.

The long-standing truce between dogs and cats is threatened when an evil parrot in a pet store launches a plan to disrupt the purchase of puppies and kittens in favor of the overlooked birds, fish and reptiles often overlooked as potential pets. This latest installment in the “Cats & Dogs” film series features Gwen the cat (Melissa Rauch) and Roger the Dog (Max Greenfield) who covertly protect the world through their organization, whose word acronym is F.A.R.T.

The film is cute enough but it’s obviously becoming difficult to come up with adequate plot material to carry a full length film. To the credit of “Paws 3,” the story involves enough technology to keep geek kids interested and following along. The storyline also follows two unhappy teens who happen to live with Roger and Gwen respectively. And it features unusual pet possibilities such as parrots, salamanders and tarantulas.

Kids up to 12 will probably enjoy this spun-fun sugar. Mom and Dad might have trouble staying awake, especially at showings following lunch or dinner.

I can remember being a girl fascinated by the original CINDERELLA and trying to understand that the characters weren’t REAL?? But how was that possible? Because my mom was a cinema lover, she often took me with her instead of leaving me with a babysitter. I was so young in my first film experiences, I would stare at that BIG screen and wonder “what were those people up there saying?” And then as a slightly older girl watching Margaret O’Brien in THE RED SHOES, I dreamed of being a ballerina. Later, in a theatre with my mom and aunt watching WUTHERING HEIGHTS, I found myself sobbing along with the two of them as Katherine and Heathcliff were separated forever. I have always loved film. In college in the ’60s, the Granada in Dallas became our “go-to” art theater where we soaked up 8 ½, THROUGH A GLASS DARKLY, WILD STRAWBERRIES and every other Bergman film to play there. Although my training is in theatre and I have acted and directed in Repertory Theatre, college and community theatre, I am always drawn back to the films.

I live in Garland and after being retired for 18 years, I have gone back to work in an elementary school library. I am currently serving as an Associate Critic for John Garcia’s THE COLUMN, an online theatre magazine and I see and review local community theatre shows for that outlet. I’m excited to have the opportunity to extend my experiences now to film and review for IRISH FILM CRITIC. See you at the movies - my preferred seat is back row!
