Pros: Great comedy for kids and adults
Cons: SLightly different than the original story.
Summary: I didn't see this movie when it came out in the theaters. I actually saw it on television recently. Mike Myer is not one of my favorite actors but I liked him in Cat in the Hat. One of the things I didn't remember in the book was the part about the ... read more

Pros: Everything!
Cons: Some toilet humor not suitable for children.
Summary: I am going to love writing this review so much because the rest of America very much HATED The Cat In The Hat, a dazzling adventure out of reality and into the heart of childhood... And I... absolutely... *loved* it. Then again, I am an unusual ... read more

Pros: Mike Myers Really Rocks!
Cons: The dunce boyfriend of Sally and Conrad's Mother.
Summary: Today was my first time watching this movie starring Mike Myers who played as the cat. This movie was released in the theatres this past November. This movie is a non-cartoon feature, but I really liked it very much, even though, I normally ... read more

Pros: Costumes are great
Ending is good
Cons: A few moments of annoyance
Summary: Whilst I had to drag my husband kicking and screaming to The Cat in the Hat and wait in line with hundreds of small children, I thought about my books when I was a child. I only remember Dr. Seuss. I loved those books and I wanted to see if the ... read more

Pros: Very funny at times, kids like it.
Cons: Fails at times (especially the musical sequence).
Summary: Sometimes, the problem with writing a review is just knowing whom you’re writing it for. That’s because your target audience is an important consideration when you’re recording your impressions on any given product. Do they have the same ... read more

Pros: art design; 1/2 of the intended humor
Cons: overacting; story; 1/2 of the intended humor
Summary: Dr. Seuss had a vision, and Bob Welch did not. Dr. Seuss' goal in the Cat and in the Hat books were to teach kids lessons and create a world kids could imagine and enjoy. Bob Welch and Brian Grazer create one of the most artsy and craftful worlds I've ... read more

Pros: The boyfriend, a little humor for the entire family
Cons: Not the original storyline, weak characters
Summary: I took my children to see this movie expecting to hate it. Mike Myers is not even close to one of my favorite actors, and I really would like to see a big people movie every now and again. I must say, though, that I thoroughly enjoyed the time we spent ... read more

Pros: Some funny things.
Cons: Cat was irritating at times. Some slow moments.
Summary: When I was a child, my grandmother got me most of the Dr. Seuss books. She and my mother both encouraged me to read from a young age, and some of the first books I read myself were the Dr. Seuss books that Grandma got me. I still have those books. She ... read more

Pros: It made my daughter smile, and I laughed (once).
Cons: Mike Myers stick with Austin Powers or better yet bring back Wayne.
Summary: So, my daughter caught on to this a long time ago, call it mass marketing. When your four old daughter asks to go see this movie and tells you see wants to bring along her book, how can you say "no"? We read and ignored the reviews. I have to admit ... read more

Pros: Mike Mayers and the kids don't do a half bad job
Cons: lame story and adult jokes really don't make this a kid's movie.
Summary: Well my movie theater finally opened again after more then two years of being shut down. So I went to see a movie for the first time in 2 years without having to travel for an hour and half to the big city. The theater hasn’t change much in the two ... read more

Pros: Some decent acting
Cons: Everything...make-up, costumes, screenplay, etc.
Summary: I grew up reading Dr. Seuss. Green Eggs and Ham, How the Grinch Stole Christmas, and The Cat in the Hat were some of my favorite books. When Ron Howard directed How the Grinch Stole Christmas back in 2000, I was so excited. It was like seeing a ... read more

Pros: Computer graphics, Mike Meyers is so talented, should be out of theaters soon
Cons: Content not kid-friendly, second rate production, not Dr. Seuss quality
Summary: This review is based on my own opinion as a family man and father of three boys, ages 4, 8 and 11. I consider myself a moderate person that is not overly protective or overly liberal. I believe parents are responsible to find a balance in making our ... read more

Pros: Beautiful visuals, though they lose their impact due to the ugly scenario.
Cons: Like the live-action Grinch, desecrates a beloved Dr. Seuss story.
Summary: If only the live-action version of How the Grinch Stole Christmas had failed at the box office. Then the suits at Universal wouldn't bother making this abomination. But alas they did. Apparently they figured that all the aspects that made ... read more

Pros: the colorful scenery
Cons: inappropriate with bad humor, Myers portrayal of the cat, the script
Summary: “Cat in the Hat” is a nice Dr. Suess book that we own. It is a book of rhymes and silliness. The movie had little of the same story plot as the book, but only contained the same characters. We decided to rent the movie, despite hearing it wasn’t that ... read more

Pros: The LOOK of the world of Seuss was faithfully recreated in the set designs.
Cons: Storyline, writing, script, the songs, character development, language - almost everything.
Summary: I have to admit, The Cat in the Hat was one of my all-time favorite stories growing up. I would read the book till I had almost memorized it, word-for-word, picture-for-picture. I have lovingly passed to my 5 year old my collection of Dr. Seuss, ... read more

Pros: Um, let me think, none.
Cons: Terrible movie, WAY too much trash talk.
Summary: For the one hour and 22 minutes I wasted my time watching Dr. Suess' "The Cat in the Hat" I was bored out of my mind. This has to win the most moronic movie of the year award. With potty talk lasting the entire time, maybe the littlest kids might enjoy ... read more
