Dr. Seuss is rolling over in his grave.

This was probably the worst movie I've ever seen on the big screen. It was worse than a "disappointment". It was horrible.

It couldn't decide if it was Cat in the Hat, Cat in the Hat Comes Back, or The Wizard of Oz.

Mike Myers was obviously mistaken on his classic cats. He thought he was playing a political agendaed Cowardly Lion.

It had bad potty humor, bad sexual humor, bad political humor, bad acting, a bad script, and bad special effects.

It was very Un-Seusslike, not fit for either kids or adults. The theater was packed, and there was little laughter. Just some sporadic embarrassed and/or pity giggles here and there.

About 15 minutes into it my 10 year old son turned and said, "This is stupid. Can we go home?" I said, "No, we're stuck with it. We might as well watch it." About 20 minutes later he said, "Is this OVER yet?" I felt the same way.

The 13 year old just slumped and sighed through the whole thing.

They even stopped the entire movie for a blatant - I mean the absolutely most blatant I've ever seen - plug-for-money. While riding the babysitter down a purple-goo waterslide: Kid: "This is just like an amusement park ride." Cut to Mike Meyers still close-up with Universal Studios tickets in hand: "You mean like Universal Studios??! Cha-Ching! (wink)". For real. What an insult to audience intelligence.

The only consolation was that I got to see Alec Baldwin type-cast. Too bad I didn't find out some of my money was going to him before we got into the theater. I would have vetoed it on those grounds alone.

I should research a movie a bit more before I actually spend money on it. I used to do that. I just took it on assumption that this movie would be equivalent to The Grinch (which we liked very much). My bad - The Cat in the Hat IS BAD! VERY VERY BAD!

Thought I'd share my experience so I may save another from the same dismal fate. Really - don't waste your time or money. This one wouldn't be worth it in the $2.00 video bin.

Yeah I saw it to but you have to admit that the scenery of the town was so Seussian and the makeup for the cat was pretty good. But other than that is stunk. This movie makes Gigli look like Gone with the Wind.

Hmm, I can't believe so many people hated it. I really liked it. It wasn't near as good as The Grinch, but it was still enjoyable. I laughed all the way through. I'll tell you what, if they do make this sequel, I will be one of the first in line at my theater to see more Suess magic come to the big screen.

I'd have to agree with the many good reasons why it was a terrible film.

I really get angry when I leave the theater thinking "man, Hollywood is laughing at my stupidity at seeing this film..."

Too lewd for the kiddies, too stupid for adults to enjoy.

Worse than the shameless treatment of the Grinch, if that's possible.

*gargles to remove bad taste from mouth*

damn, any time you have to gargle to remove a bad taste from your mouth after seeing a horrible movie, that's funny.
