7/10
Lifeless? I think not

I rented this film after seeing the trailer, which looked pretty good, but the film was slightly better.

It was quite unusual seeing Mike Myers dressed up as a cat, but the film is a fantasy and it is bright and colourful from start to finish. There were a few downsides in the film such as some of it that wasn't like the book and the, "Dirty hoe," pun because when I heard the Cat say it, I thought he was referring to a prostitute. Also the children's screaming when they first see the Cat is over the top.

One of my favourite scenes is the big slide of the purple liquid because it looks fun. The scene that is most like the book is the one where the Cat (plus some others) clean the house with the special cleaning machine.

While most people give this film 1/10, I give it 7/10 because it is funny in parts and the Dr Seuss-style Universal and Dreamworks logos at the beginning are brilliant.
