Cats
U/A: Drama musical
Director: Tom Hooper
Cast: Francesca Hayward, James Corden, Judi Dench, Taylor Swift
Rating: 

This cinematic reproduction of the spectacular musical theatre hit performance that was Andrew Lloyd Webber's adaptation of TS Eliot's 1939 published book, Old Possum's Book of Practical Cats, has a wonderfully talented cast.

Tom Hooper, the director of Les Miserables and The King's Speech, brings Cats to the screen — but there's nothing unique or interesting going for it other than the multifaceted cast, including Taylor Swift, Jennifer Hudson, Judi Dench, and Francesca Howard. The narrative is peopled with grown humans crawling around in skin-tight suits pretending to be cats.
