An overworked businessman Tom Brand (Kevin Spacey) is in the middle of building the tallest skyscraper in New York City. He is harried, busy and disconnected from his wife Lara (Jennifer Garner). Lara reminds Tom that all his daughter Rebecca (Malina Weissman) wants for her birthday is a cat. Kevin Spacey is drawn to an unusual pet shop and purchases Mr. Fuzzypants from the mysterious owner, Felix Perkins (Christopher Walken). In a crazy accident, Tom ends up trapped inside the body of Mr. Fuzzypants. While Tom is incapacitated, his CFO Ian Cox (Mark Consuelos) is conspiring to sell the company out from under him. Can Tom make himself heard as a cat and save his company before it is too late?

This movie has been widely panned by the critics. However, I thought it was hilarious. Mr. Fuzzypants (as voiced by Kevin Spacey) was so funny. I love Kevin Spacey and I thought he was great. Jennifer Garner was perfect as his frustrated wife. And, Cheryl Hines was so funny as his boozy ex-wife. I am a cat lover so I just had to see this movie. It will NOT win any awards but it is a perfect family movie. It is fast-paced and funny. And, Mr. Fuzzypants was great! (some of the animatronic scenes were a little dumb but the live action cat was great!) So, if you have kids or if you love Kevin Spacey or cats, then you might like this one. Go see it.
