Catwoman: Nothing to mew about!

google preferred source

CatwomanHalle Berry should run for cover!

Her new film Catwoman, which opened today in the US, has been shredded by critics, according to People magazine.

A O Scott of The New York Times writes that watching Catwoman 'is like paging through a fat European fashion magazine at high speed in the lobby of a sleek hotel'.

If it's some consolation for the Oscar-winning Berry, Scott adds that she and co-star Benjamin Bratt 'are nice to look at'. (An aside: Nicole Kidman was the original choice for Berry's role.)

The New York Daily News doesn't beat around the bush. The headline says it all: Bad kitty!

The New York Post isn't far behind either. Its review dubs the film 'purr-fectly ridiculous and boring'.

Evidently, this cat can't mew!
