This Christmas, I bring you good tidings of great joy:

Cats is not the dog that critics have growled about.

Yes, the story is hard to follow, but it was actually easier than in the stage production I saw earlier this year. That was my first Cats experience, and I walked out thinking “What the hell was that, and how could so many people love it so much?” I mean, for the love of Rumpleteazer…

Speaking of Rumpleteazer, brace yourself for a barrage of cat names that are a far cry from the little tabbies you may have known. These Cats mix up the nomenclature to the point where you might want to have a cocktail before you dive into this movie, just to help you keep track of all of them.

Speaking of cocktails, I pre-medicated with a glass of vino before I headed into the theatre, and sipped a second glass during the the first half of the movie. Maybe that’s why I didn’t hate Cats.
