"Turns out, two-legged strays can be rescued by us whiskered ones too – Angel"
Dear readers (and fellow feline film critics),
It’s me, Angel — your favorite fluffball on film patrol. I recently lounged in a sunny spot and watched A Street Cat Named Bob (2016), and let me tell you, I was hooked before the first tail twitch. It’s a heartwarming tale of hope, redemption, and how one ginger genius with four paws (no, not me — Bob!) helped turn a man’s life around. This story proves once again: cats are healers with whiskers.
First Impressions: From the very first scene, I knew Bob was no ordinary feline. He wasn’t just acting — he was living the role (as he should, since it’s his real story!). The streets of London were cold and harsh, but together, Bob and James built something warm and beautiful. I loved how the film balanced tough moments with gentle humor. It’s emotional without being heavy, inspiring without being preachy — a rare balance. Also: bonus points for Bob’s close-ups. I could learn a thing or two about camera angles from that legend.
Did You Know?
The real Bob became a worldwide celebrity after the book was published — and he actually played himself in the movie! Not only that, Bob appeared at premieres, book signings, and even met royalty. His calm demeanor on set earned him the nickname “the feline professional” from the crew.
Who Will Love This Movie?
If you’ve ever rescued a pet — or been rescued by one — this movie will speak to your soul. Perfect for animal lovers, city dreamers, or anyone needing a quiet night of hope. Cozy up with a blanket, a warm drink, and your own purring partner (if available).
Angel’s Rating:
Purr-fect
