What did I like? Ryan Reynolds is hilarious, his Jerry as at turns (most of the time) pathetic and confused. Hell, most of the time he only comes as a pretty huge weirdo, he even seems harmless as hell which makes his killings (and chopping and, well, pretty much anything he does) even more and more funny instead of horrific. He also does the best faces. There's also a Chinese guy singing like Elvis and then doing a Bruce Lee impression.

What didn't I like? I hated the cat's voice. They tried to make him creepy and diabolical but it mostly annoyed me.

WTF: The dance number.

Final thoughts: Even when you are totally insane, cats are dicks. The movie per se feels uneven at times, like it tries to play the horror very straight and then comes a mood whiplash. At the end, except for Reynolds' performance, it feels more weird than funny.
