Humans have been oblivious to the fact that dogs have been
fighting for thousands of years to keep humankind from falling under the rule of the cats.
When Mr. Tinkles (voice of Sean Hayes),
a rogue cat, initiates a plan to disable the world's
dog population by making humans allergic to all manner of canines and thus leaving humans
defenseless against feline tyranny, a team of super secret agent dogs and a puppy named
Lou (voice of Tobey Maguire) come to the rescue and save humans from slavery. Also with
Jeff Goldblum, Elizabeth Perkins, Alexander Pollock, Alec Baldwin, Michael Clarke Duncan,
Joe Pantoliano and Susan Sarandon. [1:33]
SEX/NUDITY 0 - A couple of hugs. Some flirtations and references to two dogs
having had a romantic relationship.
VIOLENCE/GORE 4 - A dog is pulled out of a burning building and appears to
be dead. A cat throws a bomb that explodes and sends spikes flying, nearly hitting dogs
and tearing up a house. A cat throws knives at dogs. A dog catches a boomerang knife
mid-air and flies through the air, landing on a cat. A cat picks a dog up into the air
with a vehicle that has a huge, mechanical claw. A dog and a ninja cat fight with karate
kicks and punches; the dog ends up being thrown through the air, he knocks over a garbage
can and is covered with trash. A dog throws a cat into a wall where he is smashed behind a
door (we see him flattened). A cat is sprayed with flocking (fake snow) liquid and is
splattered against a window. Three people are tied to chairs in a burning office. A dog
bone explodes, nearly blowing up a dog. A factory explodes with sparks flying, windows
crashing and the building bursts open. A woman hits a dog with a broom. A dog is
surrounded by cats who presumably attack him: we see the dog later, covered with a fishing
net and whimpering. A dog runs into a closed window face first and slides down leaving a
streak of slobber, and a dog tries to catapult himself through a window but falls short,
crashing into a window ledge and falling hard on the ground. A cat is catapulted from a
tree and flies through an open kitchen window knocking a woman down to the floor, and a
cat slams into the divider window in a limousine. A woman in a car nearly hits a cat. We
see a cat lying still in the street (we assume she has been hit by a car, but she is
pretending). A cat holding a big knife yells at another cat. A woman punches a comatose
man hard in the chest to start his heart. We see a big, dark, creepy looking house while
ominous music plays in the background. A bucket falls on a dog's head. A man grows
blisters on his face and hands (it's an allergic reaction). A man holds a gun-like device
and he injects himself in the arm. A group of ninja cats hang from flying machines, are
dropped and open parachutes -- they also wear green night-vision goggles. There's a chase
between a cat and a dog; the dog knocks down two people carrying groceries and eventually
runs head-first into a tree. A dog dangles from a tree limb trying to reach a cat and the
cat scratches him causing him to fall. A dog dangles from a cabinet which nearly falls on
top of him. A dog jumps through an open kitchen window knocking a woman down to the floor.
A dog jumps from a window and dangles from a vehicle with a mechanical claw. We see a man
in a bed connected to a bunch of tubes and monitors. A smoke bomb is shot into a car and
it puts the occupants to sleep. A cat is tied to a
chair and a dog is taken away in a van
full of cats. A man licks a dog's nose and sniffs his fur. A cat coughs up a couple of
huge fur balls that turn out to be weapons. Some cats drive a car recklessly, nearly
hitting people and sending things flying, and dogs drive a rocket-car through a tunnel
really fast. A huge number of vials are broken when a soccer ball bounces into a
laboratory, and a cork is shot from a gun and it bounces around an office breaking things
and starting a fire. Two women scream when a cat talks to them. A group of dogs drink from
toilets, a cat blows a drug into a boy's face, a stuffed cat explodes, a dog flatulates,
and a cat plants some dog feces on a carpet.
