It's fun, it's light, [but] it has a hard time when its tries to get heavy.

Not sure how, but this is easily one of the best movies all summer. Multiple levels of funny, never takes itself seriously, super colorful, and creative.

Let me be very fair here, this is not the best movie in my opinion. But, this movie is fun, it has purpose and is very enjoyable to watch.

Funny but in a rather depressing bittersweet way. Cat Ladies follows a number of "crazy cat ladies", and looks at their lives. One thing that is obvious is that these are all very lonely and sad women. Whether they grew up in America speaking German just after the war, had abusive parents, or were adopted into an overachieving family. All these women became outcasts and used their cats as a way to escape. Some are harmless enough, with just a few cats, and others make it their duty to capture cats and let them overrun their homes. Again some want a way out of this life, and some can't see themselves living any other way. Showing the different characters details that there is not one way to become like this,but perhaps more human interaction would help. A great soundtrack and not judgmental. I found it to be a fair, funny, and tragic view of a strange world.

"we really wanted to investigate this whole notion of the crazy cat lady who never gets married or has children" was almost a mantra from the producer at the screening I caught of this highly amusing but... somewhat troubling cinematic effort. . . I'm afraid that all that was really accomplished here was a good time had by all laughing at those less fortunate than ourselves. I'm not sure what kind of redeeming silver lining the filmmakers might have inserted/conjured up from the midst of this rather sad subject matter, but. . . as it stands the film left me with a bit of a sick feeling about the whole affair.I guess I came away from this film hoping that at least participation in it served some purpose for the subjects of the film who provided us with so much basically mean spirited fun watching them. one aspect of the film that struck me is that when there are more than say 10 cats in someones' house they go from seeming like companions/pets to appearing to be something more like an infestation, like giant insects or something, quite disgusting cats can be in large groups.when all is said and done it was very watchable however, offering very elegant coverage of the proverbial train wreck
