Editorial reviews

Amazon.co.uk Review
iThe Cat in the Hat/i is a marketing ploy disguised as a wildly designed movie for hyperactive kids, and it could use a dose of Ritalin. It hardly matters, though, because kids will surely enjoy the rampant romp that occurs when the top-hatted feline convinces young Sally (Dakota Fanning) and Conrad (Spencer Breslin) to wreak havoc in the home their mother (Kelly Preston) has neatly prepared for an upcoming party. It's all in the name of fun, and while Seuss's classic rhymes are relegated to voice-over narration, director Bo Welch capitalizes on his background as one of Hollywood's most gifted production designers (with credits including iEdward Scissorhands/i and iMen in Black/i), turning the Seussian town of "Anville" into a playful pastiche of pastels. As played by Mike Myers under layers of fur and latex, Dr. Seuss's mischievous Cat is mayhem personified, and the movie suffers from his anything-goes approach to getting a laugh. And though Myers delivers a few laughs while channeling voices from his own comedic repertoire (including "Coffee Talk" maven Linda Richman), a little of this Cat goes a long way, and he nearly wears out his welcome. --iJeff Shannon/i

it really grows on you...
i bought this for my 4 year old...we love the books to bits...i must admit that at first i wasn't keen on this movie...but in the true spirit of youngsters we have watched it many times...and it is fantastic...the word 'bloody' does appear twice which i don't like...but that aside it's a great movie.

Parents BEWARE!
I watched this with my 4, 6 7 year old just before Christmas. We love the books ... read them, listen to them on CD, but the movie was just TOO much for my 4 year old. She now is SO afraid that the Cat in the Hat is upstairs that she won't go upstairs by herself when it is dark and she will no longer go to sleep without her sister in the room!! Funny movie ... but not worth it for us.

cat in the hat
it arrived in good time but does not work in our dvd player as it is an american dvd, this is a bit annoying the kids have to watch it on the computer.

Even better than the Spongebob Squarepants Movie!
I had such low expectations of this film, because everyone had told me it was just a bit naff and silly. Yes! It is naff and silly, but in the best way as physically possible! This is one of greatest children's films ever made, just over taking the Spongebob Squarepants Movie. Other reviewers have said it's 'very good, FOR CHILDREN!' - What Goofy Goobers! - Of coarse! It's a movie FOR CHILDREN! (It's not that hard to guess, being called 'The Cat In The Hat') What do they think! It's going to be some kind of super violent adults gangster movie? Anyway, point made. br / br /It tells the story of Conrad and Sally, their mum is a workaholic with a slimy cheese ball for a boyfriend, and one dull rainy day, shows up does the Cat In The Hat! From then, the film twists wildly out of control as the Cat attempts to cheer them up and just have fun! It includes some very close-to-the-edge gags and moments for a kid's movie, which is the main thing I love about this movie: it's not afraid to do something a bit different. Evolving from a book by Dr. Seuss, I also love the way in which the film's sets are created; they're kind of perfectly in the middle of cartoon and realism consistently, awarding to itself a fair amount of artistic merit. br / br /Fab film for anybody who loves a good laugh. Highly recommend it to everyone, especially people who need a bit of cheering up. If this movie does not make you at least chuckle, go straight down to the nearest hospital, because you may possibly be dead! Love it! Love it! Love it! Smile! br /

We love it
I bought this film for my 3 year old daughter she likes cats hats, so i thought why not.) br /I watched it with her not expecting much after seeing the rather poor T'he Grinch' I loved it as much as she did, very funny excellent sets and acting, mike myers is very well cast as the cat and alec baldwing is excellent as the evil boyfriend, imagine a cross between austin powers, waynes world wraped up in fantastic costumes and sets and your about there. br /my daughter has watched it 9 times in 48 hours...........
