When the Cat's Away is completely mis-billed as a light romantic comedy. Actually it's a sprawling and rather depressing film. It's all very realistic, which means that none of the characters are exactly sympathetic, and it is full of so many depressing messages that the plot and lighter moments get completely bogged down. We kind of wanted a light, feelgood evening's entertainment. Instead we got thoroughly depressed.
