A STREET CAT NAMED BOB (Theatrical Release USA 2016)

Ben Meyers’ rating: 4.9|5.0 Starsìììì

A Street Cat Named Bob—tells its true story well. This movie has that certain wonderfulness that magically appears onscreen when a very good, caring, and loving story backs itself with good camera work, good acting, and a well written script. It’s a Bravo! film, completely worth watching.
