Reviews provided by RottenTomatoes

Roger Moore, Orlando Sentinel: This chatty 3D spy spoof is as hard-pressed for laughs as Marmaduke, once you get past the novelty of "Hey, the dogs and cats are TALKING." Read more

Glenn Kenny, MSN Movies: It's with the ostensibly adult humor that the picture gets into trouble. ... This funny-animal man saw a lot of potential go to waste ... Read more

Mike Hale, New York Times: Mostly, though, Kitty Galore is a grind, as well as proof that "What up, dog?" isn't any funnier when a pigeon says it to a dog. Read more

Moira MacDonald, Seattle Times: The only wit on display here is Roger Moore plummily intoning the phrase "butt-sniffing." Read more

Scott Tobias, AV Club: Having real animals speak through the hideous magic of CGI is inherently creepy, and it's depressing to hear kitty and doggy thoughts come out so banal and jokey. Read more

Bill Goodykoontz, Arizona Republic: It's all rather silly and somewhat sweet. Read more

Ty Burr, Boston Globe: Civilization as we know it has ceased to exist. Read more

Amy Biancolli, Houston Chronicle: Exploits every cliche with abundant good cheer and an admirable, unapologetic ridiculousness. Read more

Christy Lemire, Associated Press: For grown-ups, kids, dogs, cats -- whoever's watching, there's enough here to keep them entertained. Read more

Adam Graham, Detroit News: The kitties and puppies are cute to look at, no doubt, but your average cat on YouTube is far more charming than anything in this kitty litter. Read more

Adam Markovitz, Entertainment Weekly: No movie -- whether aimed at adults or kids or canines themselves -- has the right to be as tiresome and unoriginal as this action-comedy mutt. Read more

Owen Gleiberman, Entertainment Weekly: Read more

Eric D. Snider, Film.com: It succeeds as a modestly funny midsummer diversion. Read more

Kirk Honeycutt, Hollywood Reporter: Too many frantic CGI critters ruin this spy movie with pets. Read more

Glenn Whipp, Los Angeles Times: Better than the original Cats & Dogs. But so is a rabies shot. Read more

Michelle Orange, L.A. Weekly: About as unremarkable as a film about talking animals organized into competing intelligence agencies can be. Read more

Rene Rodriguez, Miami Herald: Read more

Billy Heller, New York Post: A harmless but fun hot-weather diversion for the family. Read more

Steven Rea, Philadelphia Inquirer: If there are moments that aspire to the smart satire of the Austin Powers franchise, they're fleeting. Read more

Jennie Punter, Globe and Mail: Dogs and cats are far funnier and more engaging when they behave like, well, dogs and cats. Read more

Derek Adams, Time Out: The script suggests it was developed on the hoof; the CGI is low grade stuff; and the human performances are loathsome. Read more

Claudia Puig, USA Today: The notion of pets leading a double life has been much tapped for family movies, and the kid-friendly spy genre has been wrung dry. Read more

Joe Leydon, Variety: None of the satirical touches are ever allowed to impede the pic's madcap pace from one raucous setpiece to the next. Read more

Dan Kois, Washington Post: Cats and dogs working together for the greater good? Woof. Read more
