Jane Horwitz

The new Darn Cat moves faster, has a few more laughs, nonviolent villains who are barely seen, a never-ending car chase climax, and gives more than a passing nod to such phenomena as teenage discontent. Read full review

TV Guide Magazine Ken Fox

The surprise is that you won't hate it nearly as much as you expect -- thanks to a solid supporting cast, a cute cat and an even cuter Ricci -- and the manic pace will have the kids purring with delight. Read full review

James Berardinelli

I suppose there are reasons to see That Darn Cat, but only if you're under twelve and desperate, or accompanying someone in that category. Read full review

Joe Leydon

It's not quite a catastrophe, but the updated remake of That Darn cat is a loud and largely charmless trifle. Very small children may be attracted in sufficient numbers for fair-to-middling opening weekend B.O., but this overbearing comedy isn't likely to pussyfoot very long in theaters before it high-tails to homevideo.

Mark Caro

The movie also features Doug E. Doug (Cool Runnings) as a bumbler of an FBI agent, a fluffy gray-and-white alley cat as D.C., and a climax overloaded with car crashes, pratfalls and forced mayhem. Read full review

Christine Dolen

Christina Ricci is the best thing about this otherwise misguided, retro remake of the 1965 movie that starred Hayley Mills. [09 Aug 1997, p.2G]

Peter Stack

The new comedy is screechingly inane and skitters in nine directions at once. Read full review

It is not because it is bad, but what it is, is it a movie of a cat? Wooow, his argument is too bland, you should improve Disney obvious without Pixar
