Critics Consensus: A high-energy sprint through the world imagined by Dr. Seuss, The Cat in the Hat's eagerness to please has some charm but could have benefitted from smaller stakes and a less frantic pace.

Reviews

The Film Yap

Christopher Lloyd

An unexpectedly fun and clever take on the Seuss classic, as the Cat works his magic with some grumpy kids while trying to save his own job, and maybe the universe.

Pop Culture Leftovers

Connor Petrey

The Cat in the Hat returns, and while it's not a direct adaptation of the book and takes serious creative liberties with the author’s work, the film is surprisingly magical.

For all its visual flamboyance, “The Cat in the Hat” has surprisingly little of the spontaneous creativity or mischievous spirit that made Dr. Seuss’ work so beloved in the first place.

A cat that once stood in for children’s unchecked ids has been turned into something closer to a fairy godfather. And the movie doesn’t have enough rhymes.

Its hectic bombardment of noise and phantasmagoria goes beyond wearying to come close to unendurable.
