Even if you ignore the slaughter of a good book- this movie is disgusting. It has the humor level of drunk college men, but marketed for children? This movie does't have any redeeming qualities.

inaproprete movie for a doctor suess. and one scene with very bad language.

To salute Dr Suess, Our school rented 'cat in the hat' costume from 'Bruna Costumes' in Providence, R.I. Every year we pick a character and read books that relate to it. It inspires the children to read when they see a live character and it really doesn't cost much to rent. Bruna has given schools discounts for renting their costumes for reading week. Last year we rented Clifford, the red dog. This is an excellent idea for all R.I> schools.

For those who are fans of the classic book, this is such a let down. There was so much unnecessary crudeness in this movie it was as if it was made to entertain the adults who were dragged by their young children to see the movie. I hate that. There are plenty of movies for grown-ups. Let the kids have the ones that are MEANT for them.

This movie is a pretty good adaptation of the book, but I wish there were less language and sexual entendre issues... Mike Myers is hilarious...

I have resigned myself to the fact that I'll be seeing a lot of stupid children's movies for the next 15 years. And so I took my sons to see this with some resignation. But, it was actually palatable. It teaches some good lessons at the end, and Mike Meyers is very funny. I thought my toddler wouldn't be as interested as the older kids, but he loved it. There is enough shlap to appeal to the silly-loving toddler crowd. Luckily, most of the off-color jokes are subtle enough that the kids miss them, and the scary parts are pretty tame. A nice bit of fluff for the fam.

The Dreamworks people should be shot for what they did to Cat in the Hat. You can definitely tell that Dr. Seuss is dead. It made me furious to watch this movie. It was inane, offensive and bad, bad, bad.

Why did they bother to put in a crude joke "you dirty hoe" when they knew they were making a movie for children? This really makes me angry. I don't need to hear stupid stuff like that and I certanly don't want children in my care to hear this stuff either!

Overall it was funny and entertaining but I really had a problem with all the things that were not appropriate for children.... You'd think you were safe taking your child to a movie called "Cat in the Hat." I don't understand why they felt the need to contaminate the "Cat in the Hat" in that way...it seems so pointless.

This movie only proved that I need to not trust the PG rating where my six year old is concerned, and need to do some research before I take him to a movie. A group of kids beat the Cat in the Hat with bats. The Cat in the Hat says "son of a ....". The Cat in the Hat takes aim at one child's head with said bat. The cat picks up a garden hoe and says "dirty ho". Then, just to further drive the point home for those of us who might have missed it, he calls it, "baby." This made my son look at me with wide-eyes. This is a terrible movie for any age. It's not funny even at an adult's level, and it's completely inappropriate for anyone under the age of 12, yet it doesn't have enough smarts or humor to keep anyone older than 8 interested. FLOP. I bet it'll make a ton of money.

Hi I Am You're Host The Guy In The Sweater

Don't take your kids.

This movie was preety good, but dont misjudge it because of the book. This movie has alot of swearing in it,son of a ***** is used but not fully heard, And the cat talks about sexual topics to the kids.

I liked this silly movie, but it dragged on at times.

mike myeres is one of my fav actors, he made this a creepy movuie though sex-yea the dirty h part. violence-he is wallaped with bats( he'sdiasguised as a pinata)then for no reason a boy comes up and whacks him where his testicles would be.

This may well be the funniest movie ever! Mike Myers has never been this funny. 1 star is definately mean. Alot of hard work. YOu have to see it for sure!

Sexual Content (Pause): Plenty of double entendres. Violence (Pause): Loads of slapstick humor. Language (Pause): Ass, son of a b----, and s--- (all incomplete), a dirty ho pun, the Cat's previous name for his car was the Super Hydrolic Instantaneous Transporter. Social Behavior (Off): The Cat, Sally, and Conrad wreck the house but clean it up in the end, Conrad and the Things are very disobedient, Lawrence wants to marry Joan just so that he can send Conrad off to military school, Lawrence lies to Joan repeatedly, elderly people and Asians are stereotyped, there is a whole lot of crude humor. Commercialism (Pause): The Cat stops the movie to advertise Universal Theme Parks and the movie's soundtrack. Drug/Alcohol/Tobacco (Pause): Lawrence carries a six-pack of beer (but we don't see him drinking it), joke references to drinking, smoking, and chewing tobacco. I think this movie should have been rated: PG-13 I recommend it to everyone aged: 9+

This movie is okay. But if your kid is under 10, just use the mute button when the hoe thing comes on.

OK, let me start out by saying this movie is flat out hilarious! But there's some iffy content for those little ones! Mike Myers brings a wonderful personality to the movie! The movie can't get serious, yet it's a good thing with this movie! I say ages 10+.

this is officially the worst movie i've ever seen. Don't waste your money on this. Instead watch any other movie.

I felt like my IQ dropped by half after watching this. It was sooooo stupid!

DR. SEUSS' THE CAT IN THE HAT? Wait no, lets put this in a better manner: SATURDAY NIGHT LIVES'S THE CAT IN THE HAT. I enjoyed this very much and so did my friends. My father is a huge fan of Saturday Night Live, and he said that it was classic Mike Myers stand up. Just like me we figured that they ruined the classic book and made a crude rude yet funny movie. There were jokes like he picks up a muddy hoe and says "Oh you dirty ho!" and drops it and then picks it up again and says "Oh I'm sorry baby, I love you.". That made our heads roll, granted I thought it was funny, my friend's baby sister (who was there) was called everyone "dirty hos" after the movie, and asking what a ho was! I personally loved the film and own it, but I recommend strong parental guidance and/or only for older kids.
