I thought it was going to be a PG version of last year's Strays, but Cat & Dog – The Great Crossing lags on both the comedy and adventure levels, offering a rather bland concoction with humour that doesn't entertain much, neither children nor adults. The cat and the dog don’t look very good, but that could have been been ignored; the biggest stumbling block, however, is the wasted potential. Instead of, among other things, repeated butt-sniffing scenes, director/writer/star Reem Kherici could have offered sharper and/or comedic sequences. Better two stars! ()
