Quotes / The Cat in the Hat

Quotes from the movie:

Sally: Who are you?
Cat: Who? Me? Why, I'm the Cat in the Hat! There's no doubt about that! I'm a super fundiferous feline, who's here to make sure that you're...'meline'...'key lime'...'turpentine?' I got nothing. I'm not so good with the rhyming, not really, no.

Cat: This is the Super Luxurious Omnidirectional Whatchamajigger or S-L-O-W for short.

Quotes about the movie:

"They turn it into a ghastly looking, shoutfest, with double entendres, potty humor, and a general mean spirited nature. Part of the problem is the film confuses chaos with fun. Characters shouting and making messes is not in and of itself pleasant to watch or entertaining."

— Rachel's Reviews' review of the film

"When the set design is a film's best feature, you know you're in deep trouble."

— Empire Online's review of the film

"Not only is Myers the entire show here, but he's also his own most appreciative audience. His anthropomorphic protagonist has an obnoxious habit of laughing at himself, and it's a shrill, wheezing laugh of infinite self-love that grows increasingly insufferable as the film progresses."

— AV Club's review of the film

Arthur: It don't make no sense! The mom just up and leaves her kids at home, alone? It's just, "Sayonara, kids! Good luck! I'm off to Pizza Hut or whatever!" What mom does that? You're just ASKING for a large, be-hatted cat to walk in and start messin' up the works.

Gramp: (dryly) I think you need to get outside more.

Arthur: And what's with the SIZE of that Cat?! He's, like, 800 fet tall! That boy can eat.

—Sheldon
