History YMMV / ATalkingCat

** The LoopingLines for the cat voice over makes it sound like Roberts recorded his lines in a bathroom.

* {{Padding}}: Several scenes are comprised of nothing but B-roll of the surrounding forest where filming primarily took place. One of the hosts of the Podcast/TranquilTirades podcast actually sat through and timed how much of the run time was taken up by StockFootage {{Establishing Shot}}s and shots of Duffy the Cat doing nothing, and he determined that literally 30% of the 83-minute runtime was taken up by absolutely '''nothing''' happening. (And even more frightening--none of that includes the many, ''many'' sequences of characters taking long walks up stairs, down halls, meandering around aimlessly, traipsing around kitchens, etc.)

* RelationshipWritingFumble: Chris is supposed to end up with Frannie, but all their scenes are fairly awkward and forced. Instead, Chris has more [[HoYay natural chemistry]] with Trent.

* SuspiciouslySimilarSong: One of the {{Recurring Riff}}s in the score sounds a ''lot'' like [[Ride/DisneyThemeParks "It's a Small World"]], and another (which serves as the main theme) sounds like "Can't Wait Till Christmas" from ''[[WesternAnimation/GarfieldSpecials A Garfield Christmas]]''.

** Duffy's mouth, which is entirely pitch-black and looks like it was drawn in MS Paint. It's clearly an effect easily done with Adobe After Effects, and for that extra touch of complete and total unconvincingness, the "mouth" runs horizontally across the cat's curved philtrum, but ''doesn't'' cover it up when he's speaking.

* AudienceAlienatingPremise: Who ''exactly'' is the intended audience market for this film, again? Most adults and teenagers probably aren't interested in talking animal films[[note]]This is excepting the UsefulNotes/FurryFandom, but this could barely even pass for furry pandering[[/note]], and the subject matter (matchmaking and family troubles) will more than likely bore little kids.

* HoYay: Trent/Chris and Phil/Chris. The latter is squicky since they are father and son.
** Chris actually has more chemistry with Trent than he does with his intended girlfriend. Perhaps more understandable when one takes into account that the director, David [=DeCoteau=], does soft-core gay erotica on the side.
* NarmCharm: If you enjoy the movie, this is why. [[GuyOnGuyIsHot Or because you like the way Chris and Trent interact]].

** In several shots, you can see a laser pointer being used to direct the cat, or cat food on the ground to make Duffy stay.
** Duffy, [[spoiler: after getting hit by a car and supposedly in critical condition]], is seen acting mildly sedated with a piece of gauze loosely wrapped around his head.

* RelationshipWritingFumble: Chris is supposed to end up with Tina, but all their scenes are fairly awkward and forced. Instead, Chris has more natural chemistry with Tina's ''brother''.

* SoBadItsGood: To some. To others, it's just bad.
