Movie Reviews of Dr. Seuss' The Cat In The Hat (Full Screen Edition)
Movie Review: Potential Lost ...
Summary: 2 Stars
This movie is questionable for the PG rating. There are a couple of unnecessary comments in a movie geared for kids. PG-13 would have solved that and I wouldn't have played it for a 5 year old then found myself telling him for days that yelling "dirty hoe" was inappropriate.
In the spirit of shrek and the other recent releases of kid movies that entertain the adults with clever humor I really didn't find anything "clever" here. The few adult oriented lines such as the one above about the "dirty hoe" , stick out from the rest of the movie dialog in a way that seem forced. It was like they wrote a great little kids movie then went back and forced some adult humor into the script hoping for a duel audience win over. It don't work.
The slap stick comedy is good for some giggles, and there are some lines that were allot of fun, but overall I found "cats" laugh so annoying that it was hard to focus on the rest of the dialogue. Most of all, I wouldn't want to watch this over and over .. and I sure don't want my kids to - so I sent my copy (on vcr tape) to the local goodwill.
Summary of Dr. Seuss' The Cat In The Hat (Full Screen Edition)
Its fun to have fun but you have to know - the cat arrived to catapult conrad & sallys boredom into the most frolicking fun filled fabulous day theyve ever had! but the cats crazy games bring in a whole lot of trouble & he must go go go before their mom gets home. Studio: Uni Dist Corp. (mca) Release Date: 05/22/2007 Starring: Mike Myers Dakota Fanning Run time: 82 minutes Rating: PgThe Cat in the Hat is a marketing ploy disguised as a wildly designed movie for hyperactive kids, and it could use a dose of Ritalin. It hardly matters, though, because kids will surely enjoy the rampant romp that occurs when the top-hatted feline convinces young Sally (Dakota Fanning) and Conrad (Spencer Breslin) to wreak havoc in the home their mother (Kelly Preston) has neatly prepared for an upcoming party. It's all in the name of fun, and while Seuss's classic rhymes are relegated to voice-over narration, director Bo Welch capitalizes on his background as one of Hollywood's most gifted production designers (with credits including Edward Scissorhands and Men in Black), turning the Seussian town of "Anville" into a playful pastiche of pastels. As played by Mike Myers under layers of fur and latex, Dr. Seuss's mischievous Cat is mayhem personified, and the movie suffers from his anything-goes approach to getting a laugh. And though Myers delivers a few laughs while channeling voices from his own comedic repertoire (including "Coffee Talk" maven Linda Richman), a little of this Cat goes a long way, and he nearly wears out his welcome. --Jeff Shannon
