The film's plot ... feels like a very bland character's search for a personality.

A dead pet isn't the only inert element of "Murder of a Cat," a plodding comic caper that fails to deliver.

"Murder of a Cat" is a pleasant enough comic thriller, though it's the lead character - not the cat - you might most want to see murdered.

Murder of a Cat essentially boils down to a (very) poor man's Burn After Reading, stripped of all stakes.

Forgettable, unfunny indie whodunit is fairly violent.

5.5/10

There aren't enough laughs to maintain the weak plot, and it is a pity, since Murder of a Cat is really unlike anything we've seen before.

I found this an amusing (save for the death of the cat, (which was bloodless and unseen), sweet, and slightly romantic movie.

Pleasant and charming despite being absolutely stupid. Murder Of A Cat starts out a little slow but quickly steps up its game as the plot line begins to unfold and more hilarious events take place. If there's one thing I'm really impressed about it's that haircut Kranz got that totally transformed his appearance.

This started out somewhat promising, but it ran out of steam and got kind of boring and never really recovered. Had an interesting premise, but the direction was just bad.
