Film Review: "Cool Cat Saves The Kids"

The best worst movie you've never seen.

Where to begin with this "film"? This isn't a typical film review, and this isn't a typical film. "Cool Cat Saves The Kids" is a children's safety movie created by Derek Savage. While technically correct, the previous sentence does injustice to the insanity you'll find in this piece of trash.

I've seen it three times, and I still feel there's more editing, sound, and cinematography errors to spot. So let's begin talking about the "coolest" cat in town.

"Cool Cat" opens with a poorly done animation decrying bullying and praising Cool Cat, the titular character, and apparent messiah of children. One immediate problem is the constant and gratuitous use of Comic Sans. Everywhere. Moving on, a few minutes later, you can see the shadow of the cameraman, and hear him breathing.

Why did no one try to fix it? Who edited this? Was there an editor? Oh, and before you think, "hmm, maybe the acting may be okay", stop that thought. It's bad.

The core cast is Cool Cat, apparently played by Cool Cat (no actor is listed), and Derek Savage, known as "Daddy" Derek, ugh. Supporting characters include Maria, the most generic little girl ever, who is inexplicably the best friend to an adult-sized cat man, Butch the bully, who exists purely to provide conflict, and Cool Cat's mom, Mrs. Cat, which is the same costume but with lips and breasts. She is married to Derek, a human, and they had a cat son. Uh, right.

So enough beating around the bush, let's talk about Cool Cat. Here we have a grown man in a full body cat costume, who is supposed to be a child. He is constantly yelling his lines, being painfully obvious and friendly, and everyone loves him. Did I mention he only wears "Cool Cat Loves You" shirts, and his room is covered in Cool Cat merchandise? Because it is.

You may have noticed I am avoiding talking about the plot. That's because there isn't one. The film is really just a series of barely connected segments about kid's safety topics. Aside from the insufferable twenty minutes where Cool Cat sings garbage songs and is in a parade, where promotes the movie itself. While in the movie. Dear Lord.

As far as children's safety goes, this movie fails at that, which is the purpose of the movie. There's a section on crossing the street where he runs across the road without looking both ways, and when Cool Cat gets cyber-bullied, he does the worst option and replies, instead of ignoring and reporting. Immediately afterward, he has an insane dream sequence that looks like he's tripping on acid.

"Cool Cat Saves the Kids" is easily one of the worst movies I've ever seen, but at the same time, it is great. If you ever want a movie that is so bad you will laugh the whole way through, then check it out. And remember, "Cool Cat Loves You!"

I've lived a whole 21 years with an RBF (Resting Bitch Face), so naturally, I go through most of these struggles on a daily basis.

And before you ask, yes I'm fine. No, I'm not mad. This is just my face, so take it or leave it! To those of you who have been #blessed with an RBF, you'll probably relate to these more than you'd like to:

What's up Asshat,

I've composed a list of things that I wish upon you, and they're harsh and cruel. These things are things that I wouldn't wish upon my worst of enemies, not even that Starbuck's barista who always screws up my order, not even him. You fall into a whole other category of hate. You surpass Starbucks barista. Congratulations, I'm actually a pretty nice person, making you worthy of every single bit of torture I wish upon you. What are these things I wish upon you you might ask?

Throughout school, the theater department has always been my go-to place with go-to people when I need advice, a dance party, or just someone to listen to me vent.

You never know what's going to happen when you're dealing with theatre or what kind of characters you'll encounter. We have too much fun doing anything! One time in my senior year acting class, we spent an entire class period watching Bob's Burgers, and it was the greatest class period ever.
