}}A Talking Cat!?! is a 2013 independent children's film directed by David DeCoteau.[1] The film was released direct to DVD on February 18, 2013 by Phase 4 Films and features Eric Roberts as the voice of the talking cat.[2]

Synopsis

The film follows two single-parent families that are brought together by Duffy (Eric Roberts), a cat with the capability of speech. The wealthy Phil Barber (Johnny Whitaker) recently sold his computer company in order to spend more time with his model son Chris (Justin Cone), who is indifferent about his dad's decision. Meanwhile, Susan (Kristine DeBell) is struggling to make ends meet as a caterer with her two children Tina (Janis Peebles) and Trent (Daniel Dannas). Duffy then enters their lives, giving them advice, but with the limitation that he can only speak to them once.

  • Kristine DeBell as Susan
  • Justin Cone as Chris Barber
  • Janis Peebles as Tina
  • Alison Sieke as Frannie

Production

The film is one of several direct-to-video family films directed by David DeCoteau under the pseudonym Mary Crawford. It was shot in three days in the same mansion as director DeCoteau's 1313 series.[3] Eric Roberts' dialogue was recorded in 15 minutes.[3]

Reception

Critical reception has been predominantly negative,[4][5] with Film.com criticizing the character of Duffy.[6] The A.V. Club gave a mostly negative review for the film, but stated that "for lovers of utter, unredeemable trash, it is highly recommended."[7] CraveOnline also gave a negative review, but also recommended it as a film for "Bad Movie Night".[8]

In an interview, DeCoteau said of the film that "people have called me who I haven't seen since high school who said, 'David, after 100 movies you've finally made a movie we like.'" He added, "I watched it again, because I hadn't seen it since we made it, and it is so ridiculous and hilarious and over-the-top."[3]
