Le chat chapeauté

After years and years of hearing how bad this movie was, I finally wartched it last night. I now understand why the crass humor offended the widow of Dr. Suess, and I know why most hated it. But, I don't. The crass humor and many "wtf is happening" moments made this a very fun watch.

The Bad: Like I said, this movie is not technically very good. The kids acting is not the best, and the story is slightly all over the place. Also, thing 1 and thing 2 are just downright creepy. I maybe laughed at 1 or 2 of their jokes, but they mainly just creeped me out.

The Good: I really liked this type of humor. It was so chaotic and crass that I couldn't help but laugh a lot. Most the time the movie knows its being stupid and immature, which only helps its cause. Mike Meyers just plays himself but as a giant cat, and its so funny to me. I understand this is not a good at all adaptation of the book, but I don't care. It was funny, and I enjoyed my time.

Conclusion: It was ruined when she bought it honey. Watch this intoxicated.

The Cat in the Hat is a comical cinematic masterpiece. Bo Welch took a simple book and made it into its own bright lively world. The unique costumes, lighting, and filter used in this film, submerges you into the story. Mike Meyers one liners and jokes are forever quotable, and bring a smile to the faces of many. The cinematography of this film is astonishing for a children's movie. The low angle shots used to announce the dominance and relationship between characters is unexpected in a film such as this, yet it works so well. Every time viewed, I find something new to smile and laugh at. This is my favorite film of all time, 10/10.

Bombastic, high fructose attempt to realize on set what was never meant to be more than a bedtime story illustration.

Pretty far removed from the tone of the original book, there is so much padding that the whole thing becomes rather risible. it's all fun in a grotesque way but you have to be in the mood to laugh at the lame CGI gorged jokes as well as with them.

Mike Myers makes a pretty vivid Cat who can be a little annoying and more than a little terrifying.

It's stupid, but sometimes stupid things are bizarrely distracting.

HOLDS UP TO THE QUALITY OF THE BOOKS. ITS REALLY GOOD I RECCOMEND TO ADULTS BECAUSE THIS IS A VERY ADULT MOVIE.

I've never laughed so much at a film. I think Heath Ledger must have used this film as inspiration for his groundbreaking portrayal of joker, only it lacks the same level of poise and unpredictable chaos of Mike Myers performance.

The film truly captures the zeitgeist of the Gen-Z world of humour and ideology of meaningless content. It was very ahead of its time and will forever remain as a masterpiece. I can't wait for the Criterion box set.
