description |
-Mike
Meyers
-Dakota
Fanning
This
adaptation
of
the
classic
children's
book
stars
Mike
Meyers
(AUSTIN
POWERS)
as
the
wily
talking
cat
with
a
tall
striped
hat
and
more
than
a
few
tricks
up
his
sleeve.
Set
in a
colorful
make-believe
world,
the
film
tells
the
classic
tale
of a
sister
and
brother,
Sally
(Dakota
Fanning)
and
Conrad
(Spencer
Breslin),
who
pass
a
rainy
afternoon
with
their
crotchety
baby
sitter
Mrs.
Kwan
(Amy
Hill),
during
which
they
receive
a
visit
from
the
mysterious
Cat
in
the
Hat,
who
leads
them
on a
series
of
colorful,
illogical,
silly
misadventures.
Meanwhile
their
mother
(Kelly
Preston),
her
paranoid
boss
(Sean
Hayes),
and
her
phony
boyfriend
(Alec
Baldwin),
present
obstacles
for
the
children
as
they
become
part
of
the
Cat's
chaotic
world.
With
candy
colored
sets
that
pop
off
the
screen
and
zany
special
effects
that
give
the
story
a
decidedly
21st
century
spin,
this
movie
presents
a
fast-paced
and
very
nontraditional
rendering
of
Dr.
Seuss.
The
rhyming
lines
that
usually
characterize
Dr.
Seuss
stories
are
referenced
here,
but
modern
jokes
that
riff
on
television
advertisements
and
pop
psychology
are
given
more
importance.
Dakota
Fanning
is
utterly
adorable
as
little
Sally,
and
Thing
1
and
Thing
2
are
delightful
in
their
chittering
and
acrobatics.
A
bright
and
happy
film
packed
with
dazzling
stunts,
DR.
SEUSS'
THE
CAT
IN
THE
HAT
is
an
entertaining
treat.
