After much anticipation, the Cats movie is in theaters. The remake features stars including Taylor Swift, Jennifer Hudson, James Corden, Idris Elba, Judi Dench, Rebel Wilson, and Jason Derulo. The soundtrack for the movie is also out and includes remakes of the songs from the original Broadway show composed by Andrew Lloyd Webber. The soundtrack also featured Taylor Swift’s new song, “Beautiful Ghosts.”
Now that the movie is out, people are heading to social media to give their critique of the film. Unfortunately, the reviews aren’t all great. Read the roundup of Cats tweets below.

They CGI all the dudes packages, but none of the women's breasts, so that was... a choice. Also: Rebel Wilson doing fat jokes as a CGI cat eating CGI roaches was a thing I didn't know would haunt my nightmares FOREVER. #CatsMovie

CatsMovie is terrible. A descent into madness, while at the same time showing you what the gates of hell might look like. This is the best way to torture someone. This comes from someone who can appreciate musicals.

Watching #CatsMovie is like attending a dinner party hosted by your polyamorous friends. You spend the whole time worried that it is 2 minutes away from turning into an orgy.

I watched Cats in a sustained, two hour, full-body recoil. It is HIDEOUS. It is TERRIBLE. It is NIGHTMARE and CHAOS come to horrible life. THEY NEVER STOP SINGING #CatsMovie
