Based on a true story, and a good movie to watch with your mom on Thanksgiving.* I could have done less with the prominent use of camera angles from the cat’s perspective, but those fade by mid-movie. Luke Treadaway’s performance was solid, and he did a good job sharing a screen with a cat.
Cost: Netflix
Where watched: at Mom’s house.
*She picked it out.

I had not heard of this movie. I also have an odd aversion to animal based movies. Not sure why but I don’t really care for them.
Bob was pretty cute. And he did most of his own acting. But I hear you. Probably you were scarred by the terrible animal films of our youth (The Incredible Journey, Old Yeller, etc.)
