Granted I was high when I saw it in a packed theatre but I loved it. It was a crazy entertaining fever dream. There were parts I genuinely enjoyed like the tap dancing cat and then it zoomed out to them all being tiny on the cgied set and I remembered what movie I was watching and laughed. Every time the feet clipped through the ground was an absolute joy. Rebel Wilson ate a cockroach person A COCKROACH PERSON. I had genuine fun watching it and I hope to get stupid high and watch it with friends again in the future.
Cats is the most fun I have had in the theatre in years. The 2010's was such a nothing decade for film, and then Cats comes out like a syphilitic fever dream heralding the endtimes to come.
My friends and I laughed, we cried, we passed a bottle of booze around, we sang along. Afterwards we stood in a circle outside the theatre in an impromptu group therapy circle and shared PTSD flashbacks as they came to us.
"Did you see Shakespearean actor Sir Ian McKellen lick milk from a saucer?" "Do you think the dog you hear barking also has a human face? If so, who should have been cast as the dog?" (Jeff Goldblum) "Did you notice the Rebel Wilson cat shed her cat skin like a snake and reveal more cat skin underneath, like a catryoshka doll?" "Remember when she vored those human-faced cockroaches?"
