Occasionally, the creative joy of Dr. Seuss's work shines through.
Occasionally, you get an inspired moment of Mike Myers doing his comedic
thing. Unfortunately, occasionally is not nearly enough. Much of the
storyline has nothing to do with the book--admittedly, a thin volume as a
screenplay basis--and does not hold up to the original's 'vision' of
inspired, crazy fun. Dump this kitty with the litter.
Kind of a major disappointment. A pretty good cast headed by Laura Dern, and a
good plot idea (satirizing the abortion debate), but it never really
clicked.
