My family bought "The Cat In the Hat" on DVD when it was first released on DVD. I suppose my kids were about 5 and 9 years old at the time. We watched it together but none of us liked it. The kids were bored. My wife and I were bored. We may or may not have even finished watching it. The only thing I recall for certain is that I threw it in a drawer. At the time, I recall asking my wife, "This is Dr. Seuss?!?" Now, some 10+ years later...tonight, I dug out the old DVD. Why? What compelled me to watch this? After over a decade gone by. With almost 200 movies cued up in my watchlist that I want to see. With countless cable channels with movies and TV series available with a simple click of a remote control...why now? What mysterious force brought me to this movie? Tonight. Why tonight? This movie is not right. There's something...off, about it. Oh sure. There's some bad jokes, some actors sleeping their way through their roles. But it's just the strangeness of it. The look of the movie is odd. Everyone looks empty. There's so much conformity. The houses and the cars. The yards and trees. Mike Meyers as the Cat looks sick and I don't mean got-a-cold sick. His makeup and costume look wrong. And then there's the violence emanating from the Cat. It's disturbing. The Cat ogles a picture of the children's mother and dances suggestively with a woman in a nightclub. It has a fondness for dirty language and innuendo. It threatens to "end" someone and "make it look like a bloody accident". It wields a cleaver. The Cat brings with it the unknown and perhaps even unconstrained evil when it unleashes the chaotic forces that are Thing 1 and Thing 2. It opens a portal to another dimension. What is going on? And why, with all this insanity, was I laughing? I don't know how to rate this. I don't understand if I've witnessed something strange or wicked. Something good or bad? Why "The Cat In the Hat"? Why tonight? Why now...

A funny, catotic masterpiece. But not suitable for 7yr old kids.

Decent watch, might watch again, and can recommend, but more for older audiences. While "The Cat in the Hat" is a famous children's book, this is clearly just aimed at the folks that might have read it when they were children. That mixes the nostalgia factor with the slew of adult oriented jokes (like infomercials) and the unnecessary addition of mother being single and dating. Kids aren't going to find humor in those situations. The material that is closer to the original book is much more charming and I imagine that kids will relate to it more as the kids are much more involved, or even the focus of the scenes. The Cat in the Hat, even though he is the title character, is a support character to the two kids, played by Dakota Fanning and Spencer Breslin, who both do all they can with the writing to balance out Mike Myers as the Cat. I don't feel like Mike Myers understands the idea of being a supporting character: he gives me a very Tom Cruise / Jimmy Fallon vibe where if there was a pause, then would just center himself in the camera and do something to draw attention. "Oh yeah!" is a good example for this movie, a repeated, unnecessary line that doesn't once help the scene let alone the movie. One would think after Jim Carey's "How the Grinch Stole Christmas" (2000) there would be a formula for how to adapt Dr. Seuss books (20 pages) to full length feature films, and someone clearly figured it out later in "The Lorax" (2012) and "The Grinch" (2018), so I'm....gonna blame Mike Myers. Him aside, the movie has a lot of charm to it, and Alec Baldwin manages to work an unnecessary part to at least be a believable antagonist, though the best acting in the world can't make a bad part good. If you're just really into Dr. Seuss, then give it a watch, but you're not going to miss anything special if you skip it.
