 Potential Lost ... December 6, 2008
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.
 My three absolutely love it November 24, 2008

While I agree the film is slow and a bit unimaginative (I was not a fan of the computer generated visuals) Mike Myers is hysterical and my three kids (all under 7) LOVE this video. I have to give it four stars on that account.
 Not nearly as bad as I expected October 21, 2008
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.
A Retelling Of A Classic!!! September 9, 2008
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!!!
Very pleased! August 2, 2008
