The ultimate healing movie of the summer vacation: *My Dad the Cat from Outer Space*

This year can be called the year of animal movies, from the box-office hit *The Secret Life of Pets* earlier in the year to *Pets United*, where cuteness sells and remains an evergreen formula. And the ultimate healing movie of the summer vacation, *My Dad the Cat from Outer Space*, will be released on Friday, September 2. The male lead is Kevin Spacey, who won a Golden Globe for *House of Cards*. The director was drawn to his comedic talent in *Horrible Bosses*, and this time, aside from playing a sleazy boss, he also takes on the challenge of portraying an insensitive father. Meanwhile, the other stars of the film—the cats—feature in several pet store scenes where up to a hundred cats gather to show off their cuteness.

The protagonist, Tom Brand, is a workaholic who is estranged from his family. On his daughter Rebecca’s 11th birthday, Tom goes to a pet store to pick out a cat for her. On the way back, Tom has an accident, and when he regains consciousness, he finds himself trapped in the body of a cat, adopted by his own daughter. He begins to experience another kind of value in life beyond wealth...
