Skip this one tonight—the live-action Cat in the Hat is a chaotic mess that betrays Dr. Seuss's charm with obnoxious humor and a plot that mistakes destruction for entertainment. If you want family-friendly magic, revisit the animated classic or literally any other Seuss adaptation instead.

Plot

During a rainy day, and while their mother is out, Conrad and Sally, and their pet fish, are visited by the mischievous Cat in the Hat. Fun soon turns to mayhem, and the siblings must figure out how to rid themselves of the maniacal Cat.
