Decent watch, might watch again, and can recommend, but more for older audiences. While "The Cat in the Hat" is a famous children's book, this is clearly just aimed at the folks that might have read it when they were children. That mixes the nostalgia factor with the slew of adult oriented jokes (like infomercials) and the unnecessary addition of mother being single and dating. Kids aren't going to find humor in…

A funny, catotic masterpiece. But not suitable for 7yr old kids.
