film critic of the world and i apologize . it be your job to give advice to the moviegoing public so that they can wisely choose what to spend money on . but i ignore your advice and i have be deeply hurt . however and my decision to see the cat in the hat wasn not make haphazardly . you see and three year ago all of you critic say that we should all avoid the calamity know a how the grinch stole christmas . then some friend of mine take me to see it and it turn out to be a colorful and funny and almost hypnotic yuletide treat . so when the critic unleash their fury against the cat in the hat and another big budget seuss update with a big name star in the title role and i think that it must be the same old song . how wrong i be . for five whole minute i think i be in the clear . the opening credit be clever and the kid be charm and the production value be top notch . then the cat show up . there be many problem from this point on and but the big one be the woeful miscasting of mike myers . where the grinch be save by the inspired casting of jim carrey and the cat be destroy by myers . he can be very funny when his energy be apply where they belong and comic sketch . every movie he make that be truly funny be really just a feature length comedy sketch and from wayne world to austin power . so he try to do the same thing here and it just that these comedy sketch be more like the stuff that they stick at the end of snl and not funny and just painful . not that the writer help him out any . after the charm prologue the movie turn into an hour of repulsive bodily humor gag and poorly time pratfall and insultingly stunt attempt at hip humor . this movie be the most disheartening cinematic experience i have ever have . period . so much talent and work go into something so vile . i know that the adult star of this movie will be relatively unscathed by this mess and i just hope that the wonderful spencer breslin and dakota fanning will get more chance to show their charm in far good movie . if you be a parent and please avoid this like the plague . with movie like elf and brother bear currently in theater and you have far good choice .
