Ego always leads to misfortune

Comedy at the Box Office just keeps on getting hotter as if it is a curtain raiser to the incoming summer season heat. It is clear that theatre experiences seem to be on fire. This weekend cinemas were lit as a funny cat and ego maniac stormed into theatres leaving behind a trail of laughter, emotion and joyful memories.

Pets have been on steroids at movies as recent blockbusters have dished out the best of animal ridiculousness for the much-loved genre.  Movie enthusiasts have so far been entertained by a delusional fish, angry birds, and brave rabbits from films such as Finding Dory, Angry Birds and Zoootopia.  Now comes Mr Fuzzypants the world’s craziest cat in Nine Lives.  I for one used to think that Garfiled and Tom cat characters were the most wicked.

But Mr Fuzzypants proved me wrong that there is a funnier cat with such a huge ego that matches that of Donald Trump, serving it up as the main delicacy of the film.  Nine Lives is a 2016 English-language French comedy film directed by Barry Sonnenfeld the very same director from Will Smith’s mega Sci-Fi Men In Black.  In the new movie enthusiasts are treated to Kevin Spacey as Tom Brand, who is a daredevil billionaire at the top of his game.  His workaholic lifestyle has disconnected him from his family, particularly his loving wife Lara and adorable daughter Rebecca.  His daughter’s 11th birthday is here, and she wants the gift she has wanted every year, a cat.
