Get ready for the fur to fly as Dr. Seuss’ beloved tale comes to life in this very special, live-action family film starring Mike Myers, Alec Baldwin, Sean Hayes and Dakota Fanning. When two bored kids let the magical, madcap Cat in the Hat (Myers) into their home, he shows them how to have all sorts of fun and laughs while their mom is away. But when he and his crew – Thing One and Thing Two – take over the house, it’s up to the children to get things back to normal in this wild, hilarious adventure.

Top Critics' Reviews
Rotten: The Cat in the Hat is long on visual dazzle but short on warmth, and the humor is excessively raunchy for a family film.
Rotten: The younger the viewers, the better reactions are bound to be, while grownups will sit still in varying states of bemusement and discomfiture.
Rotten: The best argument yet made for extending artists' rights beyond the grave.
Rotten: It is hard to say who is less recognizable in The Cat in the Hat, Mike Myers or the actual Cat in the Hat.
Customer Reviews
Funny kid movie!!
I don't know why some people would say that you shouldn't show this to your children. It was one of my all time favorites when I was in middle school. And my younger sister loved it as well. Funny and creative, not creepy and disturbing. I sought out this movie so I could watch it again! And I'm 23 now, very nerdy but I loved this movie.
