It seems like a lot of people don't realize that this is a movie adaptation of the short story "Cat Person" by Kristen Roupenian in the New Yorker a few years ago. The short story was fantastic, one of the best things I've ever read. Despite knowing that generally film adaptations of literature often leave much to be desired, I was still excited to see this movie. Well, unfortunately this was no exception. The movie is at its best when it uses lines and scenes directly from the story. It fails miserably with all the other stuff the writers and directors put in to "fill out" the rest of the story. It essentially made the story very confusing and convoluted, and possibly even changed the original message and meaning that was given in the short story (what even WAS that last scene??!!) Overall pretty disappointed and fans of the short story should probably stay away from this movie.
