'Cats' star Derulo says 'reviews don't matter' after critics claw musical film

LONDON - “Cats” star Jason Derulo has hit back at critics who have slammed the film adaptation of the hit stage musical, calling the movie “an incredible, brave piece of art”.

From “cat-tastrophic” to “the worst thing to happen to cats since dogs”, most reviews for the film released this week have been far from kind, with disapproval ranging over the cast’s computer-generated furry looks, oversized sets and plot.“Reviews don’t matter ... It’s an incredible, brave piece of art ... When came out on Broadway, it was the same thing, people were like ‘What is this, this is something totally different’,” Derulo told celebrity website TMZ.

“I am just excited for the people to actually see it because reviewers ... what the hell do they know? Have they made a film ever in their life?” Adapted from Andrew Lloyd Webber’s musical, the movie shows the actors’ faces while their bodies appear to be covered in fur.

It's horrible!

Reviews don’t matter when you have nine lives. Somebody please kill this thing for the tenth time to make sure.

elcarpo lmao the levels of delusion

So much capital wasted in making movies most worthless with the hope of conning debt burdened underclass & middle class & robbing their money to enrich themselves? Filthy rich movie capitalists & their clueless patrons? Cats at Christmas!

I heard the audiences weren’t too impressed either.

Um, yes. Reviews always matter.

I'll enjoy the jolly romp, probably work for the kids at xmas

All the Deranged Ways the Cats Cast Has Described Portraying CatsWhile the rest of the Jezebel staff was suffering through a Cats screening in Times Square, I was chained to a sofa in California, my brain slowly melting out of my brain while live-blogging last night’s democratic debate. And because I don’t plan on sitting through this movie any time soon—I’d rather torture myself with the definitely terrible Star Wars IX—my only knowledge of the film comes from some deranged press interviews with the many actors and singers and dancers leaping about in Cats.
