The Cat in the Hat is a marketing ploy disguised as a wildly designed movie for hyperactive kids, and it could use a dose of Ritalin. It hardly matters, though, because kids will surely enjoy the rampant romp that occurs when the top-hatted feline convinces young Sally (Dakota Fanning) and Conrad (Spencer Breslin) to wreak havoc in the home their mother (Kelly Preston) has neatly prepared for an upcoming party. It's all in the name of fun, and while Seuss's classic rhymes are relegated to voice-over narration, director Bo Welch capitalizes on his background as one of Hollywood's most gifted production designers (with credits including Edward Scissorhands and Men in Black), turning the Seussian town of "Anville" into a playful pastiche of pastels. As played by Mike Myers under layers of fur and latex, Dr. Seuss's mischievous Cat is mayhem personified, and the movie suffers from his anything-goes approach to getting a laugh. And though Myers delivers a few laughs while channeling voices from his own comedic repertoire (including "Coffee Talk" maven Linda Richman), a little of this Cat goes a long way, and he nearly wears out his welcome. --Jeff Shannon

 My three absolutely love it November 24, 2008
While I agree the film is slow and a bit unimaginative (I was not a fan of the computer generated visuals) Mike Myers is hysterical and my three kids (all under 7) LOVE this video. I have to give it four stars on that account.
 Not nearly as bad as I expected October 21, 2008
I finally broke down and took my 4 year old to see this at the $1 cinema . Glad she wasn't 7 or 8. This is not a kid's movie. The adult jokes went over my child's head. If I had taken an elementary school child to this I probably would have given it a 1. As it is I gave it a 7. Yes, it had a slew of bad taste jokes, but I laughed several times. Mike Meyers is a funny cat. And I think it should be nominated for an Oscar for set design. Yes, Dr. Seuss is probably rolling in his grave at the liberties that the scriptwriters took. I don't know what the filmakers were thinking with all the off color innuendo, but I laughed a lot more than I would have expected to.
A Retelling Of A Classic!!! September 9, 2008
Although it's pretty different from the book, it's still a good and funny movie. A lot of things were changed and added, it's not really a big deal. If they didn't add some things, the movie would be too short. Mike Myers did a great job as the cat. He's funny and full of mischief. There are some adult plots like the cat is about to explain where babies come from, and the sexy Paris Hilton makes a cameo. I wonder what Dr. Seuss would think about the movie. If you love family comedy, you'll love DR. SEUSS' THE CAT IN THE HAT!!!
Very pleased! August 2, 2008

I liked it July 17, 2008
I though it was a great movie. I saw it in a hotel once and thought it was good. How can anybody hate this movie? It was based on the book by the late Dr. Seuss. It was good and I think more people should give it a change.
