DVD Reviews of Dr. Seuss' The Cat In The Hat (Full Screen Edition)

DVD Review: Not nearly as bad as I expected
Summary: 5 Stars

I finally broke down and took my 4 year old to see this at the $1 cinema . Glad she wasn't 7 or 8. This is not a kid's movie. The adult jokes went over my child's head. If I had taken an elementary school child to this I probably would have given it a 1. As it is I gave it a 7. Yes, it had a slew of bad taste jokes, but I laughed several times. Mike Meyers is a funny cat. And I think it should be nominated for an Oscar for set design. Yes, Dr. Seuss is probably rolling in his grave at the liberties that the scriptwriters took. I don't know what the filmakers were thinking with all the off color innuendo, but I laughed a lot more than I would have expected to.

DVD Review: A Retelling Of A Classic!!!
Summary: 5 Stars

Although it's pretty different from the book, it's still a good and funny movie. A lot of things were changed and added, it's not really a big deal. If they didn't add some things, the movie would be too short. Mike Myers did a great job as the cat. He's funny and full of mischief. There are some adult plots like the cat is about to explain where babies come from, and the sexy Paris Hilton makes a cameo. I wonder what Dr. Seuss would think about the movie. If you love family comedy, you'll love DR. SEUSS' THE CAT IN THE HAT!!!

DVD Review: Very pleased!
Summary: 5 Stars

product came quickly and was in excellent condition. will order from this seller again.

DVD Review: I liked it
Summary: 5 Stars

I though it was a great movie. I saw it in a hotel once and thought it was good. How can anybody hate this movie? It was based on the book by the late Dr. Seuss. It was good and I think more people should give it a change.

DVD Review: That Is One Creepy Cat!
Summary: 3 Stars

And yet at the same time, I couldn't help but like him -- sort of. The Cat was so zany, so totally and completely 100% wacko, that I actually laughed as I watched him execute one quirky antic after another.

On a scale of 1 to 10, I'd give "The Cat in the Hat" a 5, possibly a 5-and-a-half. But I would take this over something like "Monty Python" any day. (Monty Python, in my personal opinion, is a definite all-time low. I have yet to see any other movie that sinks below that one.)

I wouldn't really recommend this kind of movie to anyone who is a true-blue fan of Dr. Seuss, but if you're just sitting around feeling bored, this will definitely help to kill the time, and give you something to chuckle about.

Description 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: Pg

The 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
