Conrad and Sally Walden (Spencer Breslin and Dakota Fanning) are home alone with their pet fish. It is raining outside, and there is nothing to do. Until The Cat in the Hat ('Mike Myers') walks in the front door. He introduces them to their imagination, and at first it's all fun and games, until things get out of hand, and The Cat must go, go, go, before their parents get back.

The book is a ten minute read. The movie's a 90 minute watch... The additions deflate the fantasies.

About as creatively inspired as a giant hairball.

So good it breaks your heart for not being better.

First published in 1957, The Cat In The Hat is one of the most-loved and best-selling children's books ever. It's also a mere 1,600 words -- and even at 82 minutes, the movie version seems like a big stretch.

The younger the viewers, the better reactions are bound to be, while grownups will sit still in varying states of bemusement and discomfiture.

Is Dr. Seuss rolling in his grave yet?

much of the film is padded out by the comic business of Mike Myers' cat, in a deeply flawed role falling somewhere between a stand-up dying on stage or an alcoholic clown harassing kids at a birthday party.

Should by no means be considered family fodder.

Too mature for the kids who are reading the book.

Unless you are prone to laugh at endless urination, expectoration, regurgitation, defecation, flatulence, and belching, avoid this rip-off at all costs.

The best argument yet made for extending artists' rights beyond the grave.

The Cat in the Hat is long on visual dazzle but short on warmth, and the humor is excessively raunchy for a family film.
