PUSS IN BOOTS [2011]


Antonio Banderas reprises his role as the animated sword fighting feline, from the dead in the water Shrek franchise, in Puss In Boots.
The question is can a character who was no more than a couple cheap gags in the Shrek films, carry his own film? Surprisingly, yes.
It's nothing really groundbreaking, original or witty but it keeps an even flow and enough flare to never outright offend anybody with half a brain (which I suspect has a lot to do with Guillermo Del Toro's input). There's plenty of gags for cat lovers in it and enough wackiness for the kids...but it just never rises to it's potential.
