Watch A Street Cat Named Bob For Free

Best movie of this year hands down!

Bad Acting and worse Bad Screenplay

a film so unique, intoxicating and bizarre that it not only demands another viewing, but is also forgivable as a satirical comedy where the jokes eventually take the back seat.

It's easily one of the freshest, sharpest and most enjoyable films of this year.

I personally identified with this character, minus the drug addiction and homelessness aspects of his life, in that I have been completely shunned by my family, with no effective support system in life. However, the main character had it much worse than me, and I feel inspired by how he overcame his challenges with the help of his stray cat friend. The film also appealed to me since I am a supporter of animal rights. There are very strong themes of hope in this film. This film is notable in that it is one of the few films that examines the issue of homelessness and animal rights in a non judgmental way. Brian Ghilliotti

A beautifully told true-life tale of humanity- hope, despair, rejection, helplessness, and love that will leave you greatly impacted. Without doubt one of the best films I've seen in a long time and also one of the most underrated. Everything from the acting, to the script, to the music was, in my opinion, far more Oscar worthy than what is currently presented as "the best." The beautiful and original songs alone should have picked up at least a nomination.

My wife and I watched this at home, streaming via Netflix. It starts off a bit slow, we were unsure where it was going, but once Bob came into the story it all picked up. All-in-all a really worthwhile movie, highly recommended.It is a story of a real London busker who got into drugs and was having a hard time navigating through life. He was a reasonably talented songwriter and singer, usually somewhere in London with his guitar. Playing for small change, hoping to buy a meal at the end of the day, and finding a place to crash the night on the cardboard he stashed for the purpose. Luke Treadaway plays the main character, James.Helped along by Joanne Froggatt as Val, the social worker, James is given a rough little apartment to stay in and regular methadone treatments to help him kick his drug habit. One day he hears a noise, thinks it is an intruder and it was ... a ginger colored cat that slipped in through an opened window. James tries to find its owners, to no avail. He tries to shoo the cat away, but can't. So he keeps him and names him Bob (played by the real Bob the Cat). What follows is a heartwarming account of how being responsible for Bob, and having a companion, was key to James being about to kick his habit and turn his life around. With Bob on his shoulder they attracted bigger audiences and got bigger tips. Eventually a newspaper article leads to a publishing house arranging, with a ghost writer, to have James write his story and the book became a best seller.Good movie! And Bob does such a good job.

If ever there was a true story that was just destined to be turned into a movie, then this is surely it. 'A Street Cat Named Bob' is the story of the unlikely friendship between a recovering drug addict, James Bowen, and a stray ginger cat, who he named Bob. It's a heartwarming story and a film that can be enjoyed by everyone, not just cat lovers.The film deserves a lot of credit for ensuring that James' battle with addiction always remains at the forefront of what happens on screen. They could have easily got carried away with Bob the cat and neglected to include the harsh realities of James' situation, but thankfully they didn't make that mistake and the film is a lot better for it.'A Street Cat Named Bob' is the perfect feel good film, despite some depressing themes. It's the type of story that just has to be heard, and now it's been turned into a movie, even more people can enjoy this amazing friendship.
