      Antonia Quirke London Evening Standard The Cat in the Hat is dog food. Dec 18, 2017 Full Review Nell Minow Common Sense Media Too mature for the kids who are reading the book. Rated: 2/5 Dec 22, 2010 Full Review Empire Magazine Rated: 1/5 Apr 1, 2006 Full Review Cory Woodroof 615 Film [It's] what wants to be an austere breakdown of suburbia, a Burger King 00s trash pop kidz flick, The Mike Meyers I Do What I Want Variety Hour, a self-aware slapstick of the endearing family film and an actual endearing family film.

      Hat absolutely insane, but too long Rated 4 out of 5 stars 04/21/23 Full Review Grem Z This movie is a comedy classic that is still iconic to this day. Rated 5 out of 5 stars 05/24/24 Full Review Ezekiel M This movie is amazing and enjoyable! and funny Rated 5 out of 5 stars 04/13/24 Full Review Tyler It's terrible with potty humor and said about the......... you know, right? My score for this is 6% Rated 1 out of 5 stars 04/02/24 Full Review Joshua L This film isn't the greatest adaptation from page to screen…that's just a fact. However, this film was a childhood favorite of mine and I still enjoy it a lot as an adult. The film still keeps the themes of the original story, while also adding new elements to the story, along with great comedic bits akin to the Shrek franchise. This is one of those movies that should be re-evaluated, because it's really not as bad as people say. I'd go as far to say I enjoy it more than The Grinch with Jim Carrey. Rated 5 out of 5 stars 03/21/24 Full Review Christopher J ngl this is a pretty funny movie but if your not a kid you wouldnt understand some of the humor Rated 4 out of 5 stars 03/18/24 Full Review Read all reviews Post a rating
