well the preview look funny and i usually do not go to movie on open night especially with my kid because . well you never know . here be a movie that doesn not appeal either to child or adult a the joke be too perverse for child and fall completely flat for entertainment purpose for adult . i be actually embarrass to be with my 9 and 6 year old and have to explain to my 6 year old what s h t spell . essentially what happen here be a total twisting of dr. seuss classic . it add an evil and lazy neighbor who want to marry the child mother for her money . if that be a subplot and then maybe that would have be fine but it end up be the major plot around the whole movie and the cat play more of a subplot role in expose the neighbor to the mom for who he really be . take my advice and read the book and pas on the movie .
