Seuss' The Cat in the Hat is a American musical comedy fantasy film based on the Children's Book of the same name. While the basic plot of the live-action adaptation of The Cat in the Hat rotates around that of the book, the film filled out its 82 minutes by adding new subplots, rhymes and characters quite different from those of the original story, similar to How The Grinch Stole Christmas.

The film was universally panned, with criticism towards its innuendos, adult-themed humor, inappropriate jokes, script, lack of originality, and characters while the overall visual aspects, although David Newman's musical score was mostly praised. The film was nominated for eight Razzie Awards for bad movies , including one win. Seuss film adaptation to be a box-office bomb.

When single mother Joan Walden is called back to work, she hires a babysitter to watch her kids, Conrad and Sally. Conrad, a twelve-year-old boy, is constantly doing the exact opposite of what he is supposed to do and causing trouble, and Sally, Conrad's eight-year-old little sister, tries to stop his trouble making and is rather bossy. Their next door neighbor, Lawrence Larry Quinn is dating Joan and suggests that Conrad should be sent to a military school to straighten him out.

When Joan leaves, their babysitter, Mrs. Kwan, falls asleep in front of the T. Not long after, it starts to rain outside and the children get bored. They then hear a bump somewhere in the house, and as the children go investigate, The Cat in the Hat appears. Once the cat introduces himself what he is there to do the Fish starts talking, arguing about him being here. The Cat convinces Conrad and Sally to sign a contract which will allow them to have all the fun they want, and nothing bad will happen.

They both sign the contract and then The Cat goes in the living room, but Conrad and Sally tell him that their mom ordered them to stay out of there or else. He then makes the couch bouncy like a trampoline. Then he jumps on it, convincing the kids to jump with him, but their fun is cut short when Larry comes in the house and catches the kids jumping on the couch cushions.

The Cat is hiding on the ceiling but when he gets itchy, his fur falls on Larry resulting in making Larry sneeze uncontrollably and resulting in him leaving. When Sally wants to bake cupcakes, the Cat puts on a chef apron and spawns two clones, a host Cat an audience Cat, and put on a cooking show to present the Kupkake-inator.

When the chef Cat accidentally chops off his tail, the audience and host Cats cease to exist, and he bandages his wounded tail. Eventually, they make cupcakes out of everything in the kitchen, but the cupcakes explode causing a large, purple gooey mess. Then the family goldfish, named "Karlos K. Krinklebine" a.

The Cat tries to clean up the mess with Joan's dress, much to the horror of Conrad and Sally. The Cat then brings in a large red crate, opens it, and releases Thing 1 and Thing 2. Conrad is eager to open the crate again, but the Cat explains that the crate is a transport to his own world, known as the Trans-dimensional Transportolator , and he warns him not to open it; he then locks the crate.

As Thing 1 and Thing 2 proceed to wreck the house, Conrad goes against the Cat's rules and sneakily opens the crate. The lock ends up on the collar of his dog, Nevins. Thing 1 and Thing 2 then throw Nevins out the window. The trio puts Mrs. Kwan on top the crate to buy them some time, and chase after Nevins. Meanwhile, Larry is revealed to be a rude, disgusting, smelly with poor personal hygiene , unemployed slob who is too lazy to work for a living, and the only reason he wants to marry Joan is so that he can mooch off of her.

He sees Nevins running down the street and seizes the opportunity to try to frame Conrad for being unable to take care of Nevins, just as the TV he is watching is being repossessed by a trio of Repo men, for not paying it since it was overdue and his credit card has expired.

Conrad predicts that it can't end well and Cat frantically raises a white flag but the boy stands behind him and hits the bat directly into The Cat's groin. The Cat screams for 10 seconds, then he goes into a mental state imagining himself as a woman swinging on a swing while wearing a milk maid outfit. It cuts back to him screaming with his eyes widened and he howls in pain and Conrad throws candy on the ground for the kids.

Larry grabs Nevins and heads for Joan's office. The Cat then tricks him into handing over Nevins and the crab lock by disguising himself as a hippie animal rights activist and making him sign a petition with a large, over-sized pen that requires two hands.

Having lost Nevins, Larry goes to Joan and tells her about her children's behavior. Remembering that the Things always do the opposite of whatever they are told, Conrad is able to get them to help them get home, and stall Joan and Larry, by telling them not to do either. Kwan has fallen off the crate to answer a phone call from Joan and that all terror is breaking loose as the crate erupts.

It releases big purple oozebubbles all around which makes the whole house alive. The oozebubbles effect all of the things that are inside the house, making them move, like the walls, the pictures on the walls, the couches, the chairs, the windows, the tables, the lamps, the doorways, the fireplace, the bookshelves, the plants, the flowers, -- everything including the floor and all the purple cupcake mix that is splattered on the walls.

They don't seem to effect Mrs. Kwan sleeping on the couch, but they do however lift her up with the couch moving itself, and without her even noticing since she's still sleeping.

A determined Larry decides to run to the house and tells Joan to meet him there. When Larry catches the kids at the doorway and takes them to the house, the Cat reappears. Larry stumbles backwards while sneezing, only to fall from a high cliff into the Cat's world and into an ocean of purple ooze. The kids are surprised at what has become of the house, being the "mother of all messes", just as the Cat had warned before. They finally find the crate after passing through the Cat's world, it forms a giant purple tornado twister that sucks up all kinds of objects such as bikes, chairs, teapots, teddy bears, everything, including Sally, she accidentally gets sucked into the tornado after trying to close it with Conrad, and one of her pigtails come apart, Sally almost gets sucked away until Conrad stands on top of the crate reaching her hand, he tries to put the lock back, but he can't do it at the same time while holding on to Sally, Conrad confesses with her that he can't reach the lock, and the only way he can save her life is to let go of each other so that he can quickly put the lock back on the crate as fast as he can.

They successfully close it, and the tornado disappears, making the house return back to normal, but then suddenly collapses. The kids berate the Cat for not fixing things. He confesses that he planned the entire day with the exception of cutting his tail off and he even knew Conrad would open the crate because he couldn't resist. Dismayed, he states that he thought they wanted to have fun, and Conrad angrily tells him that he was right: "It's fun to have fun, but you have to know how" and that he doesn't know when enough is enough.

The Cat then sadly leaves, Sally suggests that Conrad should get out of the house until their mother "calms down" but Conrad declines and decides to take the blame for the day's events his selfishness has caused to the house. Sally decides to share the blame with him, since it was as much her fault as Conrad's, and admits that he is a good brother. He explains that, when Conrad opened the crate, the contract was rendered null and void, thus explaining why bad things happened contrary to prior agreement.

However, he then explains that it would be reinstated if Sally and Conrad have learned from their mistakes. They clean up the mess, and the house is clean and put back to normal, much to the relief of the kids, who then thank the Cat for everything.

The Cat and the Things leave through the back door, just in time for Joan to come home. Kwan wakes up and tells Joan that the children were "angels" - she doesn't know anything about what happened because she was sound asleep the whole time. But then Larry barges in, covered in purple goo and starts telling Joan about the mess and the Cat's world, and then begins to antagonize the kids specifically Conrad but Joan states that even though Conrad is a trouble maker, he isn't a bad kid.

Not believing Larry as the Cat already cleaned the house before her arrival , Joan declines his proposal of marriage and instead sends him away for his actions, much to the disappointment of Larry but much to Conrad and Sally's delight. The party goes as scheduled; Joan carries a tray of purple cupcakes, and Sally tells her, "You can make cupcakes out of anything. After the party, Conrad, Sally and Joan jump on the couch that still has the bounce that The Cat did in the living room.

The film ends with the Cat and the Things walking away on the street into the sunset and they were thinking of going on a weeks vacation to Hawaii as the credits begin to roll. Tim Allen was originally planned to play the role of the Cat, but dropped out at the last minute, since Allen was filming for The Santa Clause 2 , and the role went to Mike Myers. On Metacritic, the film scored 19 out of based on 37 reviews, indicating "overwhelming dislike.

A characteristic evaluation was that of Ty Burr, writing in the Boston Globe : "The big-screen Cat represents everything corrupt, bloated, and wrong with mainstream Hollywood movies.

As a result of frequent mature themes, Audrey Geisel , the widow of Theodor "Dr. Seuss" Geisel who holds the rights to his work declared that there are to be no more live-action movies based on the works of Dr. Seuss, arguing that the film has clearly deviated from her late husband's family-friendly work. In January , it was announced that Warner Animation Group would be making the movie.

Oh no, there's been an error

There is an almost overpowering desire to write this review in the style of Dr. Seuss, but I will resist it - primarily because the end product is more Mike Myers and overblown production design than it is the clever text of one of the most beloved of all children's books. Because The Cat in the Hat is only something pages long with very LARGE print , it stands to reason that, to make it into a movie, a lot has to be added, and it's mostly in the padding that the movie fails to stand up. As a minute short, this might have been a lot of fun. But as an mintue feature, it seems painfully dragged out. Younger children probably won't mind, but parents will be keenly aware that longer isn't necessarily better. The earlier production, directed by Ron Howard who has a slightly more impressive resume than Bo Welch, a production designer making his directorial debut , is noticeably better for a couple of reasons. The story is stronger The Cat in the Hat , to be frank, doesn't have much in the way of a story , and the Christmas motif allows it to be tied to a holiday.
