Movie Review - The Cat in the Hat

I thought Cat in the Hat was an unexpectedly cute and heartwarming story. I also loved the animation/CGI style that captures a modern version of the classic art style from the books.

I wouldn’t have expected a movie like this to be so hard to find Peetimes for, but it was. I struggled to put together even a few Peetimes and none of them are recommended.

Kids Laughed

While there wasn’t much that made me LOL, there were three groups of kids in the theater and I could hear them laughing from time to time and they seem engaged with the story.

Message

I feel that the message the story explores is rather original. The plot involves a mother and her two kids who have just moved to a new city and the kids will have to change schools. The daughter is upset about leaving her friends and the school where she was happy. She thinks her mother did this for selfish reasons. But as the story evolves, we find out that the mother chose this move specifically to help her kids thrive—but she never says this directly. The basic message is that sometimes parents do things for their kids that the kids don’t like, but it could be what’s best for them.

There’s also a lot about the daughter learning more about her mother and what her mother really cares about. It’s really about a daughter coming to understand her mother more and see her as a person and not just a parent.

Grade: B

Plot
Assigned his toughest mission yet, the Cat must cheer up siblings Gabby and Sebastian as they adjust to life in a new town. Known for pushing boundaries, this agent of chaos must prove himself or risk losing his magical hat forever.
