I remember one day when I was shopping for a magazine, someone came over to talk to me, the kind of well-dressed person who didn't even bother to look at me before, he called me sir, sir, can I take a picture of you ? No one's ever called me Mr. because of it, Bob, it made me see that life could be otherwise .

    Do cat not drugs! Cat is a new kind of drug. The script of the film is flat, and Bob's perspective lens makes the cat people's dialogue feel a little cute, but if it is not for the advantage of the subject matter, it is difficult to make people's attention.

    2.6/5. To be honest, it's not very good looking. 17/01/19
