Having never read or watched any of Dr. Seuss' novels or adaptations before, i had no idea what to expect from this film. I am currently 19 years of age, and from the cover, i had a sneaking suspicion this film could be too childish for me.
However, I could not have been more wrong.
The film follows Sally and Conrad, brothers and sisters living in a very quirky town, who are locked in on a rainy day. They are visited by a large talking cat (played by Mike Meyers) who causes much disruption for them. The town reminded me massively of 'The Grinch', because of it's over-colourful nature and almost plastic-like imagery. However, this does not detract at all from the film, giving it a much more comic-like style.
I enjoyed the film immensely, it covers all the comical bases, keeping young children entertained with its zanny ideas and colourful images, but also has a lot of adult humour to keep the adults happy as well. In my opinion, this is a massively worthwhile film to watch, for all the family. Its quirky, colourful and happy, and left me smiling from the start right through until the end.
