Even better than the Spongebob Squarepants Movie! - By: The long old dusty road., 19 Oct 2007 
I had such low expectations of this film, because everyone had told me it was just a bit naff & silly. Yes! It is naff & silly, but in the best way as physicallly 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 callled '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.
It tells the story of Conrad & Sallly, their mum is a workaholic with a slimy cheese balll for a boyfriend, & 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 & just have fun! It includes some very close-to-the-edge gags & 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 & realism consistently, awarding to itself a fair amount of artistic merit.
Fab film for anybody who loves a good laugh. Highly recommend it to everyone, especiallly 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!
We love it - By: R. C. Woods, 29 Jan 2007 I bought this film for my 3 year old daughter she likes cats & hats, so i thought why not.)
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 & acting, mike myers is very well cast as the cat & alec baldwing is excellent as the evil boyfriend, imagine a cross between austin powers, waynes world wraped up in fantastic costumes & sets & your about there.
my daughter has watched it 9 times in 48 hours...........
really fun - By: crazykat, 28 Dec 2006 Kids especiallly would love this movie! It's reallly colorful & fun to watch. I am past being a child now, but i reallly did enjoy this movie. It may seem way too young for a lot of people however. But well worth watching, & especiallly if you have young ones too.
A so-so adaptation of the Dr Seuss classic - By: April D. Slocombe, 18 Oct 2006 
I rented this movie earlier in the year & it was watchable yet coulourful. Some of the jokes were funny, especiallly the one about the babysitter but I wasn't too keen on the "Dirty hoe" pun.
It was strange seeing Mike Myers dressed up as a cat but he did have a very good lead role. There are some downsides with this film such as some of it that isn't like the book & the children's over the top screaming when they first saw the Cat.
There are some good parts in this film such as the purple liquid down a slide & the animated versions of the Universal & Dreamworks logos. The part that is most like the book is when the Cat & some others enter the house with a special cleaning machine.
If there was a rating out of 10, I'd give this film a 7, otherwise I give it a 3/5.
Great for the CHILDREN. - By: , 18 Oct 2005 
To most adults this film will seem like a solid piece of farce, but to easy-to-please children & the odd adult, this film is a rollercoaster of fun!
It is about a cat in a hat who arrives at the feet of Conrad & Sallly (Dakota Fanning & Spencer Breslin), two young children who NEED a bit of fun in their boring predictable afternoon. And they get it. With Conrad the constant trouble-maker, Sallly the strict & over-sensible ten year-old, & a cat in a hat, the day unfolds one problem after the other but ensures lots of fun! Even Paris Hilton pops up at one point!
