An absolute cinematic disaster.

Doing what he does best, the Cat spreads joy to kids in his hilarious, signature, and singularly irreverent way, transporting them and audiences on a fantastical journey through a world they've never seen before. Our hero takes on his toughest assignment yet for the I.I.I.I. (Institute for the Institution of Imagination and Inspiration, LLC) to cheer up Gabby and Sebastian, a pair of siblings struggling to move to a new town. Known for taking things too far, this could be this agent of chaos' last chance to prove himself...or lose his magical hat!

If The Cat in the Hat was a meal, it'd be unsalted rice with extra ego.

Watched The Cat in the Hat so you don't have to. You're welcome.

Cried during The Cat in the Hat. Mostly at the ticket price.

The Cat in the Hat is 90 minutes of merch-tie-in with a story bolted on as a legal afterthought.

The cinematography in The Cat in the Hat is doing all the heavy lifting and it shows

Honestly, The Cat in the Hat would be a tight 95-minute movie. Instead we got a bloated runtime padded with B-roll and lingering shots that add nothing.

Why does no one talk about how mid the writing in The Cat in the Hat actually is?

Rewatched The Cat in the Hat last night and noticed even more plot holes than the first time. The motivations don't track at all once you stop and think about act two.

Unpopular opinion: The Cat in the Hat is the most overrated film of the decade

Just got out of The Cat in the Hat and I'm convinced critics are being paid in residuals. Two genuinely good scenes do not make a film. Convince me otherwise.
