Liked it a lot. I have three girls (6,9,11) - took them, and they thought it was hilarious, and they didn't get even 1/4 of the site gags and cultural references that were aimed at us fogeys.

Very clever, very funny, I may be shallow as hell, but we (6,9,11, and fiftyish) loved it.

The ending to the first one had me in stitches. Loved it. I will definitely see number two when I can. Fifty-sixish going on fifty-sevenish.

I enjoyed it---all but the middle which is where I fell asleep for 20 minutes. And the hairball scene is great---. Watching a hairball come up has always been for me like watching some singer/songwriters making a song.   ;-)

What ever you do, sit through the credits at the end and don't leave early. You'll miss the real end of the movie if you do.

It got really good reviews so I went.

The basic plot (meeting the new in-laWS) is nothing new; it really is all the movie references that make it for a movie buff.

and it conntinues with the criticism of Disney (in the dream factory exposee).

I loved it. But why do American comedies always have to have farting in them?

Brilliant!...saw it last night...laughed my ass off!...liked the First one better...but saw some of the "adult humour" as being better...Puss made the movie!...and Pinnochio in a thong...excellent!

I enjoyed it mightily; admittedly, the dizzying number of pop cultural allusions aimed squarely at the adult set might be seen as a bit off-putting, but overall it was great fun, I liked it, my kids dubbed it "awesome", and we'll very likely give it a re-view as well. As with the 1st one, I think it would make an excellent date movie, too!

And of course, the voice cast was truly stellar---Antonio Banderas' interpretation of Puss in Boots as sort of a cros between Zorro & Inigo Montoya was brilliant, and Jennifer Saunders as the Fairy Godmother was worth the price of admission: two thumbs up!

I preferred the original title of this thread.
No I haven't seen the picture, and won't until it comes on TV, haven't been inside a cinema in 20 years.
