Live-action feature film based on the classic illustrated poem written in 1957 by Dr Seuss. Mike Myers stars as the eponymous Cat, who arrives at the home of Conrad and Sally Walden (Spencer Breslin and Dakota Fanning) when their mother (Kelly Preston) has gone out, having left strict instructions that the house must be spotless on her return. The cat proceeds to show the children how to have fun, first balancing an incredible array of household objects before sending them all crashing to the floor, then unleashing the uncontrollable duo Thing 1 and Thing 2, watched with horror by the children's pet fish. How will they clear up 'the mother of all messes' before their mother gets back? (Dreamworks Animation UK)

I found this so stupid that I actually liked it in some places. Visually, it's very imaginative, if incredibly garish and kitschy. I'm not sure if Dr. Seuss intended the character as portrayed by Mike Myers, and based on other works, I don't think so, but here and there, it's quite funny and not as dumb as I thought it would be.
