A Street Cat Named Bob

This was a great inspiring story!!! Glad there's still great films like this.

let's put it this way shall we: SEE IT!

I read the book 10 years ago when I moved to England. I've always loved the story and three weeks ago I finally got the courage to watch the movie. I cried just by reading the hook "Sometimes it takes 9 lives to save 1". I've had this movie for three weeks now. I bought it on Google play, as a bluray and a dvd which I'm gonna send back to Holland to my mom so she can watch it. So I've had this movie for 3 weeks now and this is the third time I'm watching it.

I read the book again today and I found the movie is so different. But it gets all the moments of the book and makes it into a story fit for a movie. By all means, watch this film. But if you get the chance, read the book. It'll only take you an afternoon but it'll add so much to the narrative.

Like, did you know James started a record label that still exists?

Glad there are still great story's in this world that make you believe not everything is utter shit and that there can be hope.

This was beautiful, adorable, funny.
Oh and the actual James was on the movie. That was cool.
I loved it.

That's got to be the best film I've seen starring a cat, and I must say a great 'purr'formance from Bob and not forgetting Luke that did a super job in his role. It's cool that the real cat was used for scenes along with other cats. That was an amazing story that it It's based on, hopefully the film told it right because I thought it was a beautiful film with a deep message that Is reality everyday. I liked the first person style with showing the picture from Bob's point of view at moments.

Worth your time, I'm surprised It's took me this long to watch, It's made me want to get the book and of course re watch in the future.

A Street Cat Named Bob is a heartwarming and uplifting film that’s easy to love—after all, it’s about a cat! What more could you ask for? The movie tells the touching true story of James Bowen, a recovering addict, whose life takes a positive turn when he meets a stray ginger cat named Bob. Their unique bond not only helps James find purpose but also inspires those around him.

The film succeeds in capturing the emotional connection between human and animal, with Bob (played by himself) stealing every scene he’s in. It’s a simple yet powerful reminder of how animals can provide companionship, healing, and even a second chance at life. While the story follows a predictable arc of redemption and self-discovery, its sincerity and warmth make it an enjoyable watch.

Sure, it’s not groundbreaking cinema, but it’s the kind of feel-good story that resonates with anyone who’s ever loved a pet. Whether you’re a cat person or just in need of an uplifting movie, A Street Cat Named Bob delivers a charming and emotional experience that’s hard to resist.

A great and hearty - true life - story.

I watched 'A Street Cat Named Bob' back when it was released at the cinema (remember them?) and thoroughly enjoyed it; something that hasn't changed just over four years on. It's a very touching story, crafted together very nicely. I also love cats, so I felt all the cuteness that this offers in that area.

The cat(s) steals the show, but big credit also to Luke Treadaway who plays lead character James. He is superb in this. Ruta Gedmintas, Serafina herself, and Joanne Froggatt play their part too.

Interested to find out what the, I have to say very unexpected, sequel has to offer.
