Movies - Dog and Cat: an explosive cinematic adventure comes to life

By Mulder, 13 december 2023

The world of cinema is set to welcome a new comedy rich in humor and suspense, starting February 14, 2024, with the release of Reem Kherici's latest film, Chien et Chat. This daring comedy tells the captivating story of two improbably linked duos, embarked on a breathless road trip between Montreal and New York.

The script focuses on Monica, played by Reem Kherici herself, owner of Diva, an Internet star cat. At the other end of the spectrum, we meet Jack, brilliantly played by Franck Dubosc, a seasoned thief who has just stolen a priceless ruby, accidentally swallowed by a stray dog named Chichi. Losing track of their precious companions takes our two protagonists on an energetic journey, while their pets have thrilling adventures, escaping the traps that stand in their way.

The cast of Chien et Chat is distinguished by its judicious choices. Reem Kherici plays an endearing Monica, Franck Dubosc forms an electric duo thanks to his undeniable comic talent, and Phillipe Lacheau adds a layer of tension in the role of policeman Brandt. Inès Reg and Artus also lend their voices to the animals Diva and Chichi.

Chien et Chat promises to be a must-see film of the year, offering a unique experience combining humor, adventure and a special relationship between humans and animals. Join us on February 14 for a humorous Valentine's Day at the movies.

Synopsis:
Monica is the owner of Diva, a famous cat and Internet star. Jack is a thief whose latest theft, a priceless ruby, was swallowed by a stray dog named Chichi. By a twist of fate, Monica and Jack find themselves separated from their pets, and watch helplessly as they flee to an unknown destination... And so begins a wild ride from Montreal to New York for two duos who have nothing in common. On the one hand, humans who have lost track of their precious pets; on the other, animals left to their own devices to find their masters... unaware that police officer Brandt is on their trail, ready to do anything to recover the ruby.
