You may have noticed, I give a lot of kid movies 2/10, however 'The Cat In The Hat' should really not be a kid's movie, if you read my review, you will know what I'm talking about
I watched 'The Cat In The Hat' to see if it was that bad, also I was bored, at least I don’t have to waste my time watching it when there are tons of better things to do (I’d played on the Wii and the internet connection sucked) but I had low expectations on this film because everyone was saying horrible things about it, all the haters are absolutely right, the cat is creepy, ugly and unfunny, Thing 1 and Thing 2 are creepy too (in cartoons, they would look like a cartoon but here they look scary), this not fun at all trash may entertain the same audience as G-Force (very, very young children) but not suitable (at least G-Force is suitable for very, very young children)
I laughed once! That's all! Rude, crude humor unsuitable for the target audience, racist and sexual jokes and a most inappropriate scene where the Cat is pulled into the couch and you can see his bum (who the hell thought of putting these filthy, inappropriate, unfunny jokes in a kid’s movie
Also there is a scene where one of the Things lets the dog out the window and they have to chase it, they interrupt a party just as everyone comes outside to hit the pinata, the Cat then replaces the pinata with himself and gets hit in the privates, they then show you the Cat on a swing in a dress in the snow? What the hell? Just what does this movie have to do with Dr. Seuss's book? Barely any rhyming, mature content, an evil unemployed neighbor!
When the dog runs off, Cat, Conrad and Sally get chased by Larry who wants to get the dog back before they can, after he hears about it at his house, they return home to discover the house has turned into a ride thanks to the crate, the Cat references Universal Studios when they're on the ride and winks at the screen! What the hell was that?
I just wish at the party, the Cat had really been hung and suffocated and when the kids send him away because he destroyed their house, I just wish it happened at the beginning, but oh no, he comes back to clean his mess and Larry is dumped when Joan sees the clean house
In my opinion, 'The Cat In The Hat' should not be watched by anyone whose parents won’t let them watch a 12 rated movie (I bet if the BBFC had made the mistake of rating it U, the employee that rated it would’ve been fired)
It was not worth casting Alec Baldwin as he is not only obnoxious like the rest of the cast but since when does the family's neighbor have a role in the book? Also his character Larry wants to send Conrad to military school!
The acting is completely obnoxious but Mike Myers gives the worst performance for sure as the role of the creepy, annoying cat, this crap is unfunny, bland, forgettable and FOR THE LAST TIME is inappropriate for the target audience and is not worth a look at all even if you’re a die-hard fan of Dr. Seuss’s novel
P.S. By the way, did I forget to mention that they were planning a SEQUEL?! Based on 'The Cat In The Hat Comes Back'
Well due to it being so bad, Dr. Seuss's widow allowed no more live action adaptations of Dr. Seuss's work and the sequel was cancelled. Thank god for that!
1/10
