This movie was the worst movie I ever saw. When I rented it I thought cool I could see it with my sisters on movie night they love Dr. Suess! Boy was I wrong, it had language sexual content and so much more that I can't even name. After that movie my sisters were almost scared to READ the Dr. Suess book. This movie was a disgrace to Dr.Suess. Also I think Mike Myers was alot better at being an oger.

The film appeared to be inappropriate for family viewing. There was a "key party" scene that implied party goers were

Talking about the book being better than the movie. This is definitely the case here. I remember Dr. Seuss as being very simple and uncomplicated in his writing of children's books. There was way too much going on in this movie, unfortunately, none of it added to the appeal of this classic.

I expected being the cat in the hat it would be for children. I was shocked totally. I am happy Dr Seuss did not see what they did to his book. When you dont look at the book and see it to a movie there is a bit of enjoyment. My son actually loved the movie he wanted to watch it again and again but what does he know he is only 2 years. If you take the move dont expect it to be like the book.

Dr. Seuss should be glad he is not alive to see one of his beloved childrens books turned into a polished turd. Where is the rhyming? Dr Seuss Rhymes I dont remember much of it if any in the movie. The only reason to get this is if your child knows how to work the dvd player because there is endless amounts of crap on the dvd to keep a child occupied for a long time. Or if you want to punish your kid for doing something bad.

How incredibly stooooopid! That's a black mark on Mike Myers record. He should have refused that role. Unless you're less than 8 years old, don't bother with this one!

I remember the big build up, and the bigger let down. Trust me, the book was much better!
