I saw it last night and my manager and I thought the movie was very offensive. They implied so many dirty meanings that anyone over the age of 10 would understand right away. Some things parents should know before bringing their kids...they bleep out the B-word, they use an acronom that spells out the S-word, stops short of saying ass, there is a rave scene, and The Cat refers to a garden utensil as a "dirty hoe" (then winks becasue he knows it's WRONG TO SAY IN A KID'S MOVIE!). This movie should not be rated PG it is at the shallow end of PG-13 rating.

Historians have come to a general consensus about which creations constitute the pinnacle of human creative achievement: Michelangelo's David, Da Vinci's Mona Lisa, Shakespeare's Hamlet. Few of us are fortunate enough to live in a time where an artist finally masters his medium and creates a work of such inspiring, enduring brilliance that its light shines across the ages. Now, however, ours will be remembered as the age when film finally found its champion. The debate which once raged about the relative merits of Citizen Kane vs. Casablanca can now fall silent: As the end of the twentieth century nears, The Cat in the Hat has achieved cinematic perfection.

As The Cat, Mike Myers delivers an interpretation of mentally-challenged existence that is so powerful that actors across the country will likely observe a moment of awestruck silence when Myers accepts his Academy Award for Best Actor in March. Bo Welch is sure to get the nod as Best Director for evolving the medium to unprecedented levels .

In fact "The Cat In The Hat" is so stirring, it was as if director Bo Welch had reached into my body and poured a little bit of wonder into my soul. His masterful skills in telling this epic of survival and hope reduced the audience to stunned silence; many, including this reviewer, wept openly.
