Barely Watchable
Dr. Seuss would be appalled by this monstrous disaster - this is not what he wrote.
I haven't seen this one in years and recently acquired it in a film set then rewatched it. It's worse than I remember. All the sexual references, lame jokes, bad impressions - it's not a family film, it's not for kids, it's just trash for the most part.
I only got a couple of laughs out of it - the joke that stands out the most is when the dog peed on Alec Baldwin's taco! Good doggie!!
Where are the beloved songs? Where is Dr. Seuss' sense of humor and his story?
If you want to see a live action Dr. Seuss story well made and well told watch How the Grinch Stole Christmas (2000). Pass on The Cat in the Hat (2003).
3/10
