    Phenomenal, clever feline comedy

    'Kitty mammas' is an absolute delight, and a must-see - especially for cat lovers, of course.

    The underlying notion of cat fetuses gestating in human wombs is fun, the concept of the documentary style is ingenious, and the realization of these ideas is outstanding. Every single character has a strong, varied personality that lends to the comedy by themselves, in concert with one another, or in opposition. And the assembled cast is great as they bring these characters to life.

    Stephanie Belding is especially great as the nurse Pauline, sardonic and cynical with a pointed, dry sense of humor. Morgan Kohan gives trial participant Rose, a ride-or-die cat lady, a marvelous enthusiasm that I readily identify with. Everyone here bears such astounding warmth and charisma, wholly inhabiting their characters with every nuance they have to share, and Paul Sun-Hyung Lee, as Dr. Han, ties the picture together with his anchoring starring role, solid and calm.

    And of course, every cat and kitten in the feature is incredibly adorable!

    As the movie mirrors the documentary its supporting characters are filming, story beats focus on the progression of the patients' pregnancies, their home lives, any developing symptoms - and any further drama that unfolds throughout the trial. Though divided in this format, narrative is cogent and cohesive, and brilliantly written with wit and charm. Writer Katrina Nicholson is to be well commended for developing this screenplay, just as director Dennis Alexander Nicholson is to be saluted for realizing it so believably.

    Sure, 'Kitty mammas' plays fast and loose with science, and it's also worth noting that the kittens used for the film are distinctly several weeks old, and absolutely not newborns. But in the grand scheme of things these are small concessions to make for a feature whose only intent is cute, lighthearted, heartwarming fun. And in that aim, it handily succeeds.

    The film-makers have made a fantastical and altogether enchanting idea feel very real and plausible, and they've done so with superb earnestness and spirit. While the topic here is rather more far-fetched, it's hard not to draw comparison to the well-known mockumentaries of Christopher Guest, who in some ways laid the groundwork for features of this nature. Certainly 'Kitty mammas' has the same inexplicably captivating magnetism, and it's simply wonderful - a true joy.

    There's little more to be said. This is appropriate for all audiences, and anyone who enjoys a silly yet well-written comedy will get a kick out of it. Naturally, this is a quintessential watch for cat lovers most of all - but I heartily recommend 'Kitty mammas' for all comers.

    Two paws up!

    This was definitely something else...

    Right, well I really wanted to enjoy this movie. Honestly, I did. But it was just impossible to buy into the concept of the movie, and the fact that it was so slow paced and monotonous, just didn't help sell "Kitty Mammas" in a good way.

    I am sure that the concept idea behind the 2020 movie "Kitty Mammas" was seeming really good on paper, as written by Dennis Alexander Nicholson and Katrina Nicholson. But the transition to the screen painted a different picture, at least for me. I found this movie such a bitter pill to swallow. I just couldn't get into it and it was a struggle to sit through it, despite of having some talented actors and actresses on the cast list.

    The whole storyline was just so far out there that it wasn't even making for a fun movie to sit down and watch. And I must admit that I wasn't enjoying the movie one bit, and I gave up on it with just 23 minutes left to watch. But by then I was literally ready to claw my eyes out of sheer boredom.

    "Kitty Mammas" felt like a movie with no purpose or no real storyline. It felt automated and devoid of comedy. Sure, there were some nice enough acting performances by an interesting choice of actors and actresses, but the movie as a whole just didn't work out for me.

    This was a massive swing and a miss from director Dennis Alexander Nicholson, and it is not a movie that you will find me recommending anyone spending their money, time or effort on.

    My rating of "Kitty Mammas" lands on a three out of ten stars, based mostly on the casting list and their individual performances. But ultimately this was just not an entertaining or enjoyable movie.

    If only

    You just have to watch it. It's so bunkers and silly, but it's much more than that. Underneath all that runs a story about relationships. So.... I wholeheartedly recommend this movie

    Funny Indie Comedy

    The trailer got me on the fence as to watch this or not, but the synopsis: "A disgraced fertility doctor runs a clinical trial in which four women give birth to kittens." Was just so enticing I had to check it out. And I'm glad I did.

    This is a pretty funny low budget Canadian comedy. I was really impressed overall by the relatively big cast especially: Janet Porter, Zarrin Darnell-Martin and (in smaller roles) Helene Robbie, Billy MacLellan, Ramona Milano. Were just really funny and on point.

    Only Stephanie Belding and especially Michael James Regan kind of bombed. And that last one was made even worse thanks to sup-par unnatural editing for his scenes.

    My biggest critique is that the film did not end right after the first birth. There is an extra 15 minutes after to forcefully tie up all the story ends but you won't care an you will be bored. The cat is already out of the bag, literally. My advice, just turn it off after you pull yourself together from laughing from the singular best joke and moment of the film. The film weirdly seems to take itself too serious after it, destroying the beautiful absurdity, tone and comedy of the rest of the film.

    Also to be honest I'm biased and really don't like cats or people that especially like them. This film however makes fun of cat lovers and ended up being a real treat! So if you have a similar sentiment don't let it stop you giving this film a try.
