Movie / Show Details

Product Description

SOMETIMES IT TAKES NINE LIVES TO SAVE ONE.

Based on the #1 New York Times Best Seller, A STREET CAT NAMED BOB is a moving and uplifting feel-good true story. When James Bowen found an injured, ginger street cat curled up in the hallway of his sheltered accommodation, he had no idea just how much his life was about to change. James was living hand to mouth on the streets of London and the last thing he needed was a pet. Yet James couldn’t resist helping the strikingly intelligent tom cat, whom he quickly christened Bob. He slowly nursed Bob back to health and then sent the cat on his way, imagining he would never see him again. But Bob had other ideas. Soon the two were inseparable and their diverse, comic and occasionally dangerous adventures would transform both their lives, slowly healing the scars of each other’s troubled pasts. From director Roger Spottiswoode (Turner & Hooch, Tomorrow Never Dies, The 6th Day and Air America).

CERTIFIED FRESH! on Rotten Tomatoes, A STREET CAT NAMED BOB features a great cast that includes Luke Treadaway (Unbroken, Clash of the Titans), Ruta Gedmintas (FX’s ‘The Strain’), Anthony Head (‘Buffy the Vampire Slayer’) and Joanne Froggatt (‘Downton Abbey’).
