Leave your thoughts about A Street Cat Named Bob.
| The Hollywood NewsKat HughesThe film is as incredible as the real-life journey that inspired it. Spottiswoode manages to balance the right amount of grit and saccharine. |
| Chicago ReaderJ. R. JonesThis dramatization... plays like a Hallmark Hall of Fame TV movie, touching lightly on serious social issues before turning into a Cinderella story. |
| Laramie Movie ScopeRobert RotenVeteran director Roger Spottiswoode, best known for 'Tomorrow Never Dies' and 'The 6th Day' also has experience with this kind of movie and he handles this story just right by not letting it get too sentimental or melodramatic. |
| Entertainment WeeklyDevan CogganTreadaway may be sympathetic and charming as the struggling musician, but this is Bob's show, all the way. |
| Spirituality and PracticeFrederic and Mary Ann BrussatThe true story of a stray city cat whose love of a street musician turns his life around. |
| Sky CinemaAnna WilczekThis is by no means the greatest film you'll see this season, but it is a traditional story of hope and makes for the purrfect (apologies) antidote as the days get shorter and the nights get colder. |
| Daily Express (UK)Henry Fitzherbert[A] charming and life-affirming film directed by veteran Roger Spottiswoode. |
| Charlotte ObserverLawrence ToppmanTreadaway gives a restrained performance that never begs for pity but earns plenty; he shows the day-to-day difficulty of living without simple necessities while retaining hope and dignity. |
| Radio TimesTerry StauntonThe man-and-moggy partnership provides a warm backdrop to a solid, responsible and never preachy chronicle of homelessness, addiction and recovery - the script by Tim John and Maria Nation neither condemns nor condones. |
| Urban CinefileAndrew L. Urbanyou can't squawk at a film which keeps Bob the Cat in close ups long enough to make you feel he's a friend.... not just a star |
