The two kids were alright. Mike Myers was not the right choice. This was a terrible adaptation of a classic little book, a classic children's character.
What a minute? Did you hear that sound? Oh, that's just Dr. Seuss rolling over in his grave over the rape of his most beloved character The Cat in the Hat. Mike Myers, the unfunniest funny guy in Hollywood screws the pooch on this deal. Myers, who apparently can only do a Scottis...( read more)

You would think with all the negative reviews this would be a horrible movie but I found it entertaining and funny. I didn't go into expecting to see an Oscar worthy movie but the kids and I liked it. It had alot of great moments that are quotable.
The Cat in the Hat is long on visual dazzle but short on warmth, and the humor is excessively raunchy for a family film. full review
Dr. Seuss' The Cat in the Hat is a triumph above all of production design. That's partly because the production design is so good, partly because the movie is so disappointing. full review
One of the most repulsive kiddie movies ever made. full review
A semi-intriguing abomination, the movie The Cat in the Hat takes a piece of classic childhood Americana and turns it into something garish, dumb, ugly and senseless. full review
A vulgar, uninspired lump of poisoned eye candy that Universal has the temerity to call Dr. Seuss' The Cat in the Hat. full review
This adaptation departs from the kiddie classic with freewheeling abandon, but is faithful in the most important way: Wonders never cease. full review
Another over-blown Hollywood raid on Dr. Seuss. full review
This movie scared me so badly I almost messed my pants. Alec Baldwin is like a child stalker/fat guy, and the two kids are equally crazy in their own way. Even with Mike Myers as the cat, it still creeps me out. Personally I wouldn't let a seven foot tall cat in MY house.
