An average movie

I'm not sure what to say about this movie. Indeed, I heard only terrible things about it so I really had the lowest expectations before watching it. But I thought I could give it a try with my step-son who was much younger back then. Eventually, I didn't think it was that bad actually. First of all, I have to say I'm not really familiar with Dr Seuss books. I mean, I have seen the movies but I know nothing about the books so everytime I watched one of those flicks I don't have any preconceived ideas about what they should do or not. So, I thought the movie looked good and there was a pretty good cast (Mike Myers, Alec Baldwin, Kelly Preston, Dakota Fanning, Spencer Breslin) so I can't say it was the worst movie I have ever seen. Of course, the fact that I don't think it was that bad doesn't mean that it was actually any good. Indeed, I thought the whole thing was still pretty boring (I'm not the targeted audience so that's not a real shock) but the cat was really obnoxious pretty quickly. To conclude, I din't really enjoy it, I think it is a pretty average familly feature and it is not really worth a look but I don't really see why everybody hate it so much. Eventually, you should watch it at your own risk...
