Giftedly Bad!

I suppose Derek Savage was trying to do some good in terms of attempting to prevent bullying, but the execution does a 360, becoming entertaining for the reasons the creator never intended.

Cool Cat, the "coolest cat in town", is an over-emoting anthro cat who is the son of a female cat anthro called Mama Cat and a human called Daddy Derek (played by Savage). Their house is covered in print-out images of the titular cat. However, not everyone is friendly to him, as the lisping, porcine Butch the Bully is always out to cause trouble.

Part way into the film, Cool Cat is asked to be in the Hollywood Parade. He shows off a bunch of famous vehicles which he only refers to by film title ("the GHOSTBUSTERS car", "the BACK TO THE FUTURE car", etc.) and others most modern kids wouldn't get, like the car from STARSKY & HUTCH.

The movie features cameos by Vivica A. Fox and Erik Estrada, the latter of whom was on "CHiPs" and SEALAB 2021. They pretty much provide limited moral support for Cool Cat in this scene where Butch the Bully bullies him, plus Greek chorus.

Randomly, we delve into an amateur author's contest for kids that Cool Cat enters into. He writes a book that's 97% "Trolley the Trout made friends".

While Cool Cat his doing his shenanigans with his story, he stumbles across a random pistol in a flower bed. As he runs off to tell Daddy Derek about it, Butch the Bully takes the gun so he can rob his classmates of their lunch money.

In the end, Butch the Bully goes to prison and Cool Cat not only wins the contest, but the class presidency as well.

It's amazing how everything in the movie doesn't work: continuity issues, hamfisted morals, and even flubbed lines that still made it into the final movie!

Call me a glutton for punishment, but I want to see a sequel! I'm just curious to see if Savage can improve or do something just as laughable.

We got a good laugh out of BIRDEMIC II, right?
