'Cats' star Derulo says 'reviews don't matter' after critics claw musical film via SABCNewsOnline

From “cat-tastrophic” to “the worst thing to happen to cats since dogs”, most reviews for the film released this week have been far from kind, with disapproval ranging over the cast’s computer-generated furry looks, oversized sets and plot.” star Jason Derulo has hit back at critics who have slammed the film adaptation of the hit stage musical, calling the movie “an incredible, brave piece of art”.

“Any time that you defy what an art form is, any time you defy all rules … there’s going to be some pushback obviously,” Derulo added, calling the film’s director, Oscar winner Tom Hooper, a “class act”. Featuring Derulo, Taylor Swift, Judi Dench, Ian McKellen, Jennifer Hudson and Idris Elba, “Cats” sparked some negative reaction when its trailer dropped in July.

“The real issue is the distracting and disturbing ‘digital fur technology’,” Tara Brady wrote for The Irish Times. “Every time Cats settles into an admittedly avant-garde shape, an ear twitches or a tail flicks and you’re back thinking about how ghastly the actual cats look.”“From the first shot … to the last, ‘Cats’ hurts the eyes and, yes, the ears, as nearly all the musical numbers … have been twisted into campy, awards-grubbing cameos for big-name stars in bad-CG cat drag.
