don not get me wrong and i assume this movie would be stupid and i honestly do and i give it an incredibly low standard to meet . the only reason i even saw it be because there be a bunch of girl go ( different story for a different time ) . a i begin watch i notice something and this film be terrible . now there be two type of terrible and there freddy vs. jason terrible and where you and your friend sit back and laugh and joke about how terrible it be and and then there be a movie like this . the cat in the hat fail to create even a momentary interest in me . a i watch the first bit of it not only be i bore senseless and but i felt a though i have in some way be violate by the horrendousness of say movie . mike myers be usually brilliant and i love the majority of his work and but something in this movie do not click . one of the thing that the director or producer or writer or whatevers change be that they refuse to use any of the color of the original book ( red and black and white ) on any character but the cat . coincidentally or not and they also refuse to capture any of the original ( and i hate to use this word and but it fit ) zaniness of the original . the book be like an ice cream sunday and colorful and delicious and and the movie be about a bland and hard to swallow a sawdust . avoid this like a leprous prostitute .
