Cat in the Hat is EVERYTHING WRONG with modern Hollywood-cinema; it's got too many toilet-jokes, doesn't respect the intellect of little kids, and Mike Myers' Cat is TERRIFYING! HE could be in a horror movie and THAT would be equal parts funny as it is horrifying: as per the IT memes that have been spawned from Cat in the Hat memes. This movie is CANCER! Its script is atrocious: it NEVER respects Dr. Seuss' works. The direction is a joke: a f###ing set director made his directorial debut here (WTF?) and why was it Cat in the Hat that he chose to direct? This film has only stingy connections to the original book: the rest of the material is superficial filler-content just to pad-out the story to feature-length status. The acting it the worst: even Mike Myers couldn't redeem this stinker post-Shrek. And besides all that? There's nothing else. The music is less than memorable as well. This is horrible stuff indeed.
Dr. Seuss' wife made the right call in denying future filmmakers from doing anymore live-action movies based on the classic books. And thank goodness!
