	Description

	This adaptation of the classic children's book stars Mike Meyers (AUSTIN POWERS) as the wily talking cat with a tall striped hat and more than a few tricks up his sleeve. Set in a colorful make-believe world, the film tells the classic tale of a sister and brother, Sally (Dakota Fanning) and Conrad (Spencer Breslin), who pass a rainy afternoon with their crotchety baby sitter Mrs. Kwan (Amy Hill), during which they receive a visit from the mysterious Cat in the Hat, who leads them on a series of colorful, illogical, silly misadventures. Meanwhile their mother (Kelly Preston), her paranoid boss (Sean Hayes), and her phony boyfriend (Alec Baldwin), present obstacles for the children as they become part of the Cat's chaotic world. With candy colored sets that pop off the screen and zany special effects that give the story a decidedly 21st century spin, this movie presents a fast-paced and very nontraditional rendering of Dr. Seuss. The rhyming lines that usually characterize Dr. Seuss stories are referenced here, but modern jokes that riff on television advertisements and pop psychology are given more importance. Dakota Fanning is utterly adorable as little Sally, and Thing 1 and Thing 2 are delightful in their chittering and acrobatics. A bright and happy film packed with dazzling stunts, DR. SEUSS' THE CAT IN THE HAT is an entertaining treat.

This is a visual delight, thoroughly entertaining. I read Dr. Seuss books as a boy and felt I had to counter the one star reviews. Movies are different than books so the other reviewers were being...

Egads what a disappointment! Dakota Fanning, Mike Myers, Alec Baldwin and Dr. Suess? This should have been a slamdunk, but instead it becomes a muddled mess of off-colour jokes, lame gags and just...

What a way to ruin a perfectly good children's book. Let's make Mike Myers look incredibly creepy and then him dance in some club with the skank Paris Hilton. Let's get two of the most obnoxious...
