If Dr. Seuss were still alive, he would be VERY disappointed in Hollywood. It's the Cat in the Hat! How do you screw that up!? Mom leaves her kids alone, and a cat shows up. Together with Thing 1 and Thing 2, he causes all sorts of mischief, creating a big mess. Then, when the kids tell him to leave, he feels bad, comes back with a cleaning machine, and fixes everything back to the way it was. Mike Myers, in that horrible costume, was terrifying. Shameless advertising, adult humor, and sexual innuendo had no place in that movie! People were expecting children's movie and ended up with Austin Powers in a freaky cat suit! The bottom line is, in terms of "kid" movies, it's a God awful abomination, and needs to be burned. Just read book or watch the classic cartoon.
