Yeah, this single four word quote:
"What's a yellow pages"?
And knowing that it has a dysfunctional family and a cat in it, really ain't makin' it... 8-)

ETA:

Plus, the fact that Googling the quote doesn't bring up a movie prevents smartasses who don't know the answer, (like me, for example) from giving smartass answers that contain additional clues...

Maybe it's this one —

Yes, I suppose I could agree with you ... but then we'd both be wrong, wouldn't we?

My only guess hint is that it's set in the future.

Name That Movie!

Post by RayThom »

A search for "What's a yellow pages" has proven futile -- even for me. Is this a movie that saw wide release in local theaters or one produced for the small screen by Amazon?

How about "I Am Curious --

So yeah, it's kind of a future thing . . . like people come back to a familiar place in an unfamiliar time. And whales.

Except, that's in the novelization. Not the movie. May have been a deleted scene where one of the characters meets his grandfather as a kid, but it wasn't in the screenplay I've read.

I don't recall that quote in that movie, but the whales leads to crackpot's guess.

I saw the same novelization of the Voyage Home as Datsun and others, but it does not appear to also be in the movie. Also, one of the clues was that it was a "recent movie" -- even in this crowd, 1986 does not pass for "recent". And cats did not make the list of mammals used in the filming Voyage Home.

Wasn't one of the Star Fleet Officer a Cat Person (some alien race that was a federation member)? I recall it in one of the movies, not sure which one.

I only recall it because I thought it was a caving to people who accused ST of only having humanoid aliens in most episodes and movies, so they got this giant Cat Person as a person in charge of something. Kind of silly because it just looked like a guy in a cat costume.

It's obviously too new for anyone else here to have seen it. It came out in August of last year. I remembered the line because it made Mrs Mc and I both laugh out loud.

http://www.imdb.com/title/tt4383594/

With Kevin Spacey, Christopher Walken, and Jennifer Garner as three of its leading stars, I don't think it was a bad, low budget movie.

OK, I give up. Here's a nice easy slow pitched softball for you.

Actually, almost no one has seen it, and given its "bomb" status, those numbers are unlikely to improve with age.
Nine Lives

How could a movie about cats be such a box office flop?

Nine Lives, a family friendly movie about Kevin Spacey turning into a an adorable cat named Mr. Fuzzypants so he would realize how much his family misses him, was surprisingly NOT a hit.

Christopher Walken couldn't even save this one.

When this film was first advertised many people thought it was a joke. However, it wasn't and no one went to the theater to see it when it was released in August 2016.

Meanwhile, audiences flocked to see that other pet movie The Secret Life of Pets like where was no tomorrow.

Nine Lives only made $19,700,032 total gross at the domestic box office, that's LESS than Alvin and The Chipmunks: The Road Chip.

Can't please everyone.
We enjoyed it, but have not gone to a theater to see a movie in at least two years.
