No matter that the film felt lumpish and witless, I have to say that the kids at the preview laughed a lot.
- Peter Galvin, sbs.com.au, September 16, 2010
There are just enough effects-driven laughs but a bit too much talky dead space in this not-at-all-anticipated sequel to the tepid, poorly animated 2001 film.
- Jim Schembri, The Age (Australia), September 16, 2010
For comedy value there is little to choose between the expensive antics here and the primitive spy charade enacted by apes in the 1970s TV series Lancelot Link: Secret Chimp.
- Jake Wilson, The Age (Australia), September 16, 2010
The Revenge of Kitty Galore (in 3D) is loud, colourful and silly enough to tickle the 5- to 10-year-old target group, but only for about half its length.
- Paul Byrnes, Sydney Morning Herald, September 15, 2010
This uncalled-for sequel to the mediocre 2001 talking-pets affair Cats & Dogs is all needless noise and second-rate CGI gunk, and never, ever funny in any sense of the word.
- Leigh Paatsch, Herald Sun (Australia), September 15, 2010
While the jokes are obvious, this fun family film has a big heart, an element missing from the recent slew of kids' movies about animals.

It's beneath any cat to be sprayed repeatedly with a water bottle, or completely shaved, let alone dubbed by Bette Midler.
- Tim Robey, Daily Telegraph, August 12, 2010
Not even an exceedingly cute beagle in a roll-neck pullover and spectacles can rescue this charmless live-action and 3D animated kids' caper.
- Cath Clarke, Guardian [UK], August 06, 2010
The script suggests it was developed on the hoof; the CGI is low grade stuff; and the human performances are loathsome.
- Derek Adams, Time Out, August 05, 2010
Nine years on from the first movie but somehow the effects have gone backwards and the charm has gone missing.
- Ian Nathan, Empire Magazine, August 05, 2010
Now here's a film there's absolutely no excuse for.
- Catherine Bray, Film4, August 05, 2010
Dogs and cats are far funnier and more engaging when they behave like, well, dogs and cats.
- Jennie Punter, Globe and Mail, July 30, 2010
The kitties and puppies are cute to look at, no doubt, but your average cat on YouTube is far more charming than anything in this kitty litter.
- Adam Graham, Detroit News, July 30, 2010
Cats and dogs working together for the greater good? Woof.
- Dan Kois, Washington Post, July 30, 2010
A harmless but fun hot-weather diversion for the family.
- Billy Heller, New York Post, July 30, 2010
- Owen Gleiberman, Entertainment Weekly, March 31, 2012
Better than the original Cats & Dogs. But so is a rabies shot.
- Glenn Whipp, Los Angeles Times, July 30, 2010
The notion of pets leading a double life has been much tapped for family movies, and the kid-friendly spy genre has been wrung dry.
