This movie is certainly not great and maybe not within shouting distance of good, but it is not one of the worst movies of all time. Mike Myers does a fine job of expressing himself through all that make-up and, after a slow start, the story moves at a good pace. The kids in the theater seemed to enjoy it and the adults I was with didn't hate it.

Its Hard to believe this movie is almost 20 years old. I was 9 when I first saw this and have maybe seen it once more since today when I gave The Cat in the Hat one more crack. I dont recall ever having much to say about the film, Im even more sure what I thought of it untill the rewatch was it was horrible, but anyway here's a small review... This was in no way a dumpster fire but in no way was it great either, definitely got some good laughs out of it to end it sweet. Mike Myers was definitely a hit or a miss, in some scenes it felt he over acted but in others he hit the nail on the head, as far as a Dr. Seuss film is concerned its a pass and would recommend it for that good old nostalgia hit if you're watching with friends or family.
