WHAT’S IT ABOUT?

Major business tycoon Tom Brand (Spacey) has distanced himself from his wife Lara (Garner) and daughter Rebecca (Weissman) in favour of his work. As a last-minute gift for Rebecca’s birthday, Tom purchases a cat from a mysterious shop run by the kooky Felix Grant (Walken), but on the way home he gets into an accident – and finds himself in the body of the cat! Now, he has one week to fix his relationship with his family, or else remain a cat forever…

IN ONE SENTENCE, WHY SHOULD YOU BE EXCITED?

Once you’ve spared a moment of silence for Kevin Spacey’s career (seriously, you’re Kevin Spacey, why would you sign on for this?!), this could be an innocent and fun little comedy about family and all that good stuff.
