Summary: It's Horrible, It's Terrible, it's Smellable
Review: I hated this film because it was entirely out of character with the real Dr. Seuss. It should be purely fun and innocent. Instead it has a pornographic magazine joke which leads to the cats hat elongating as though it were an erection. I don't recall erection jokes in the original books do you? There is a scene in which the cat and the kids have just retrieved their missing dog and are being chased by an angry neighbor.. they escape through a magical doorway on the street which leads to a firemans pole which takes them "underground" to a dance club/rave scene. Here the cat is distracted by a beautiful slightly slutty girl, who just so happens to be played by Paris Hilton. Now it doesn't take a genius to see what is being suggested here. Everyone knows that ravers and ecstasy users often make connections between their drug use and Dr. Seuss and the "underground". They even wear Dr. Seuss hats. And the cat even loses his own hat among the many other hats at the rave which I don't think was just a coincidence. Considering that Dr. Seuss books are for really young impressionable kids and they were intended to influence them with the idea of keeping their imagination and holding on to the feeling that they are worthwhile and good, what exactly is Mike Myers saying here? That sex, drugs and dancing at an expensive raver club is the place where real happiness exists? That by hanging out in a drug/raver scene you'll be one of the beautiful barby doll people like Paris Hilton? That you'll be surrounded by all the good imaginative beautiful people and free of all the crazy angry psycho people in the real world?I'm no prude when it comes to wordly things, but Dr. Seuss was all about impressing kids.. and so this film has to be examined as to how it's going to impress kids. It's not good. Also, one really creepy thing you notice about the cat is that sometimes he appears to behave as though it were Dr. Evil dressed up in a cat outfit. You don't need drugs, that alone will fry your brain. Plus there are just lots of other creepy even disturbing scenes that just don't work. Certainly not a movie for kids though they probably begged their parents to take them.. I'm sure many parents left half way through. 100 billion billion dollars won't save this film Mr. Powers.

Summary: Stay away, its worse than they say it is.
Review: Horrible, and really frightening version of the book that will give you nightmares on how bad it is. Mike Myers should be beaten senseless for what he did to the cat, and everybody who made it should be arrested for public drunkenness because only a person with enough alcohol could makes this film as bad as it is. Are my words too strong for you? Yes, but after you see this mess, you would think that I'm being too kind.

Summary: Crude, Boring, Embarrassing... but is in color!
Review: How many dollars less would this movie have made if they had omitted all the sexual and body function-related jokes??? This is an adult movie but only if you're immature. The humor is crude and the movie just keeps on pumping the crude jokes out. I'm no prude but when it's a Dr. Suess movie, it shouldn't be crude jokes. Why insist? Why can't Myers be in ONE that doesn't talk to kids about how hot their mother is? If mediocre body odor humor makes you laugh, you'll roll in the aisles. I know that Dr. Suess is rolling in his grave. Stay away.

Summary: GREEN EGGS AND ROTTEN TOMATOES
Review: The widows of both Dr. Seuss and Jay Ward are having a contest - to see which one can desecrate the memory of her dead husband worse. ( So far they're both winning. ) After the big screen abominations THE GRINCH, DUDLEY DO-RIGHT, GEORGE OF THE JUNGLE, and ROCKY AND BULLWINKLE comes: THE CAT IN THE HAT, a movie so bad, the negative should be cut up to make ukulele picks. Poor Ted Geisel, he must be spinning in his grave like a rotisserie chicken! Why don't they just dig up the bodies and let Michael Jackson molest their skeletons? That would be faster and cheaper, and we wouldn't have to take our kids to see it. This is what becomes of making a cartoon without cartoonists. What's next?: CAP'N CRUNCH: THE MOVIE starring Brendan Fraser?

Summary: Horrible.
Review: Seriously a let down. Don't waste your money. Just rent it and you will see how horrible it is, then you would never think about actually spending money to buy it.

Summary: A GIGANTIC HAIRBALL!
Review: The sun's still not shining and it's too wet to play.
So don't think this movie will help save the day.
What a mess! What a shame that's it's come down to this,
A gigantic hairball! A huge movie miss! I thought for a moment it was Powers in drag.
Though not in a dress. In a cat suitish bag!
Or maybe a remake of THE WIZARD OF OZ?
The Cowardly Lion in kitty cat paws? No! No! It's just rubbish, the worst of the sort!
To take a great classic and its story abort.
And replace it with nonsense that just doesn't fly.
If Seuss were still here I am sure he would die.
His story, his concepts all blasted...oh well,
Into small smithereens. It won't work. It won't sell! I guess that some think that they'll just tag the title
To a movie so bad that it's up in the nightle!
Oh, yes, they made money but in the end, it is true,
They just couldn't fool us, not me and not you! Just read the book to the kiddies, indeed.
Just watch the cartoons that this movie exceed.
Just forget about this one and hope there won't be
More movies like this that we won't have to see. THE HORSEMAN

Summary: More watchable than it's made out to be
Review: I actually can't say I hate the movie. I guess I respect the effort that film-makers put into movies too much to really hate any movie. The Cat in the Hat is colorful and full of energy... a little too much energy though. I don't really think guys like Mike Myers or Jim Carrey are the right guys to play Dr. Seuss' characters. I mean I always thought of the characters as classy and Jim Carrey and Mike Myers made them hyper-active and rauncy. Still I like the look of the films and they do manage to have some imagination to them. It's just that they have so much energy and the story is so much all over the place that they wear out the viewer by the time they're over. When you think about it, the cat in the hat is just teaching the kids in the movie what not to do. I don't know if real kids pick up on that lesson from it though. The movie spends too much time making the bad things he does look fun. The kids that were in the theatre with me seemed to love it but still you're better off putting the animated one on for them. As for me, I expected to hate the movie but I found it to be a lot more watchable than it has been made out to be. Only problem is that I don't really know what audience to recommend it to. I recommend it to Universal to let Dr. Seuss' rest in peace though and not make Daisy Head Masey or Green Eggs and Ham lol.

Summary: This movie is total garbage!!
Review: This movie is incredibly awful!! Mike Myers who is one of my favorite comedy actors really dropped the ball on this one. No offense to him but his acting in this movie comes off as obnoxious and completely unfunny. I found nothing funny about this movie by any stretch of the imagination and there is nothing that bonus features could do to save this garbage from falling into utter ruin! Dr. Seuss is likely rolling in his grave right now over this mess and if there is to be a sequel to this pathetic excuse for a movie, then may God help us all! Do not buy this movie and do not let kids watch this either because it is NOT kids movie material with the nauseating toilet humor that is all over this movie plus it's incredibly short being less than 90 minutes but even then, it's long enough to leave you scarred for a long time. Just utterly stupid and classless. Throw this movie into the garbage can and with full force!

Summary: A big advertizement for Universal and Austin Powers
Review: The Cat in the Hat movie was an attempt to stretch a 20 page Dr. Seuss book with 4 rhymeing words on each page into an hour and 15 minutes long movie. I wouldn't say it was a successful attempt either... (...)The movie had some redeeming qualities by adding little Seussian reminders here and there, but it was basically a bad movie, or a very long, and good commercial. Throughout the movie, there was plenty of product placements (Honda Insights), and advertizements for all kinds of Universal Studios stuff. Other movies like the Incredible Hulk had little cameos, and not to mention the cat flat out saying "Like a ride at Universal Studios... Cha Ching." and holding up Universal Tickets with their newest ride that opens next year, the Revenge of the mummy. Parts of the movie were also very reminicent of the Cat in the Hat ride at Islands of Adventure. Like in the book, when the mother comes back in the boy says "Should we tell her about it? What would you do if your mother asked you?" I wouldn't tell your mother about this movie. Unless your mother is a big fan of Universal Studios. I don't think Ted Geisel, or his mother would approve of the movie either...
