Speaking of Disappointments…

I'm just now watching — or trying to watch — the Cat in the Hat movie with Mike Myers. I like Myers and I like everything Dr. Seuss ever did. Alas, the book doesn't translate into a whole movie and the make-up they have Myers in is just too freakish to accept him as a character. Art direction's great and the screenwriters came up with some very clever gags…but it's all built on a very bad idea to begin with.
