I’ve made it clear a couple of times that I think that the 2004 cinematic adaptation of the Cat in the Hat is without a doubt the worst Dr. Seuss adaptation out there with its horribly dated pop culture reference, unnecessary adult humor, forced morals, and horribly miscast Mike Meyers as the titular character.
