Summary: 0 Stars: Couldn't even finish it
Review: This is one of the most disgusting movies of the century. Not to mention an extremely boring plot and stupid crude humor. At the appearance of a Hummer the movie was ended in my book; wasn't worth finishing anyway. I found myself making excuses for other things to do during the movie. How could such a movie justify getting on the market? Don't buy it. It is so not worth your time, money, or support.

Summary: Cmon folks its F.U.N
Review: this film isn't really supposed to be "side splittingly funny". Its supposed to be Fun eye candy which is what the book was. I found this film enjoyable as a fun film not a great comedy, most kids like "silly" and "fun" stuff not intelligently witty stuff?!? Its a fun ride for the kid in all of us. A good little movie with a colorful palette of characters etc. Is it the book? No, the book and the original cartoon are truly original this film is just a live action version and its pretty darn good!

Summary: The hat's off. So's the comedy
Review: When I first heard that a movie was being made based on one of my favorite childhood books, THE CAT IN THE HAT, I was excited and wanted to see it. I was even more excited when I heard one of my favorite actors, Mike Myers, would be playing the lead. I finally got a chance to see the movie tonight, and was absolutely dissopointed. I won't even bother comparing the movie to the book, as the two are completely seperate things.As I said, Mike Myers is one of my favorite actors, and I've come to expect a lot of things from him. His role in this film wasn't one of them. This film wasn't at all what I expected. The two musical numbers were announced instead of spontaneous, as in THE GRINCH. The first was extremely corny while the second was definately not needed. The humor of the movie also didn't agree with me. Although it has a PG rating, I wouldn't reccomend this film for anyone below the age of 16. The minor sub-plot with the Cat's lawyers was definately not necessary, and the two near-occurances of cussing were very uncalled for. Definately not needed for this film. I'm not a prudish person, but I do know the difference between crude and funny. This film was mostly crude and crass. I am just glad I didn't waste 8bucks at the theater watching it. If you're a big fan of Dr. Seuss' book, I highly reccomend that you AVOI THIS MOVIE AT ALL COSTS!! I give it 2 stars only because the children (Fanning and Breslin) were terrific in their roles. Mike Myers - this was definately not your finest hour.

Summary: This is terrible.
Review: This is the worst movie ever. This is horrible. It sucks more than Mariah Carey's "Glitter" did. I rented online for my nephew and I had to turn it off within the first five minutes of it. neither one of us could stand it.

Summary: Not What You Expected
Review: I think that one of the reasons that everyone hated this movie was because the expected it to be just like the books. I personally thought that is was hysterical. The cat is crude and verbose and perhaps not appropriate for some age groups, but it was funny. I think that is was made for adults but marketed for children to increase ticket sales. If you have not seen it, try to watch it without an opinion and you might like it.

Summary: Try It, Try It, And You May See......
Review: The vote is in: Everyone hated this film. Critics, Suess fans and the movie going public would all like to see every last copy of this film destroyed. Ironically, it was all this negative press that made me want to watch this film, so my daughter and I made a night out of it and watched. This is one of those Hollywood goof ups that comes along once in awhile. These are the kinds of movies I live for. It was obviously intended to be a film aimed at kids, but ends up being more bizarre and disturbing than intended(or was it intended?) much like The Garbage Pail Kids movie or Return To Oz. The movie is a total overdose of utter zaniness and the bizarre. In fact, the onlsaught may be too overwhelming for some adults. Mark my words, this has "cult film" written all over it. Years from now(if not already), this film will achieve a cult following for those into whacked out movies. I promise. To all the conservative parents whining about how "crude" and "Inappropriate" some of the jokes are-Lighten up a bit. These suggestive themes are shot out so fast that only adults are gonna pick up on them. Really, they'll fly over your kids' heads, coz they'll be preoccupied with the physical comedy and the overall look of the film. After viewing, my daughter had no desire to go to a rave, hit on Paris Hilton, call a hoe a "ho", use profanity or whack a guy in the groin with a baseball bat. Your kids are safe, lighten up a bit. And if you're kids are old enough to get these jokes, then I'd hope they'd be mature enough to handle them and laugh at them. I mean, it's not Andrew Dice Clay or anything. To Dr. Suess fans, I agree with the other reviewers and suggest you stay away. I hate it when Hollywood butchers a book I like(Hannibal comes to mind), and this is no exception. But if you like just flat out bizarre stuff, check this out. Regardless of complaints, this movie is actually very funny, very witty. Especially a scene where the Cat spoofs that lame informercial show, Amazing Discoveries, that used to be on every morning at 5 a.m.(almost always the same episode with that crazy English guy trying to sell that magic car rejuvination wax or Jack Lelane and his Juice Tiger). The Cat in the Hat is definitely the newest Hollywood misfire, but that's why it's so fun. It earns a spot in your dvd collection between Howard The Duck and Caligula.

Summary: Absolutely hilarious!!
Review: If you have had reservations about renting this video because of the negative publicity, let them go and go out and get this one. Ok, so this one may be for the Michael Myer fans out there because if you remove the cat costume, it was really just Michael Myer's bent and original sense of humor. If you can let your guard down and leave your expectations at home, I promise you will really have a fun time watching this movie, as I did. And, if you have a hard time doing that, then drink a couple of beers first. This was a classic! And I agree with one of the reviewers that this will definitely have a cult following to it. I already am a member of that club.

Summary: 5 Stars from my kids
Review: The Cat in the Hat is a movie made for kids. My 8 and 4 year old and 18 month children sat on the bed as I turned the DVD on. Unbelievable! They were hipnotized by the colors, movement and ryhmes from the moment the movie started. Well, I just sat there with them too and had a laugh. My husband kept peeking in the room, not often we can keep the smallest ones still for an hour.
My kids want to watch it again!!!
