Sure, Myers looks pretty ridiculous in that costume (and nowhere near as good as Carrey in his make-up), but everything around him looks amazing. In fact, I have a hard time thinking of any movie that pushes it to 11 in the visual department like this one. I have The Cat in the Hat book, and I’ve read it several times, both as a child and as an adult, and in no way, shape, or form is it as explosively colorful as this movie. In fact, the movie might be going overboard a little bit. However, The Cat in the Hat takes it to a whole other level with the vibrant colors, the bizarre architecture, and just the overall look of everything. Seuss book, what with all the strange hairstyles and whatnot. That said, one nice thing that I can say about that film is that it does look like a Dr. If I’m being completely honest, though, I find that movie to be torture! I don’t find Carrey’s mugging for the camera to be funny in the slightest (which I’ll get back to later), and I also just really don’t like the story in the first place, so I always balk whenever we have to watch it.
My mother-in-law really loves Jim Carrey’s version of How the Grinch Stole Christmas, and we watch it almost every year. The Cat in the Hat on a couch It Really Does Visually Look Like A Dr. When my kids asked, “What? Why’d you get all excited?” I of course shrugged it off and said, “Oh, nothing, nothing,” but I damn well made sure to pay closer attention to the rest of the movie after that. However, when I heard Myers say, “Dirty ho!”, I instantly looked up and exclaimed, “What’d he just say?” The visual didn’t help, either, as I found him in a cat suit petting a garden hoe and getting ready to lick it, all set to some seemingly bow-chicka-wow-wow music. And, let me tell you, I couldn’t believe some of the stuff that I was seeing in this “kids’ movie.”įor instance, the first time my kids were watching it, I was kind of paying attention, but also kind of on my phone. Here, I was watching for the very first time WITH my kids. No, I had already seen that movie and was just reappraising it.
But, this wasn’t like when they clicked on Tim Burton’s Charlie and the Chocolate Factory, which I also kind of like. I actually saw The Cat in the Hat quite recently, as (How else?) it was on Netflix, and my kids clicked on it.
