That's really disappointing cuz I just knew Mike Myers would be able to pull this off.

I was hoping the movie would do well. Mike is such a cool guy and very talented too. Even if the movie does suck, I hope it doesn't hurt his career.

This movie doesn't HAVE to be good. It's a holiday movie based on a Dr. Seuss book. People would flock to it even if it were directed by Roman Polanski and starred Grace Jones as the title character.


...on second thought, hell, I'd go see THAT...

I kinda think Mike Myers sadly has gone down the path of another former SNL cast member... Adam Sandler. They both do the same exact voices, type of humor and characters in just about every movie. Yeah, I'm a writer and I get the idea of developing what works and staying with it and all. The thing is sometimes they get roles that don't suit that character. It's annoying in a way because if you see one or two of their movies, just pretty much have seen them all. I do like some of Myers and Sandlers work...it just got old to me though (The Wedding Singer is cool and Waynes World wasn't bad) k... I'll just stop here. Take care everybody! :+)
SAPERE AUDE!

co-sign, but there is something about this movie that just makes me say, "no!" perhaps it's all the hype surrounding it, something just seems off.

The critics agree!!!
(courtesy movies.com)


Chicago Sun-Times 2 stars/4 … another overwrought clunker like "How the Grinch Stole Christmas," all effects and stunts and CGI and prosthetics, with no room for lightness and joy.

E! Online D … a total hacked-up furball.

Entertainment Weekly D … stuck in candy-colored synthetic overdrive.

FilmCritic.com 1 star/5 … [a] humorless monstrosity..

Hollywood Reporter N/A … a lackluster and nearly charmless affair.

L.A. Daily News 1½ stars/4 Someone is going to pay.

L.A. Weekly N/A Myers is the movie's fatal flaw …

New York Post 0 stars/4 There's little rhyme and no reason in this atrocious hairball of a film …

New York Times N/A … a vulgar, uninspired lump of poisoned eye candy …

Rolling Stone 1 star/4 Talk about your quick-buck exploitation.

Seattle Post-Intelligencer D … one shoddy piece of cultural vandalism.

Slant Magazine 1 star/4 … disastrously misconceived …

TV Guide 1 star/5 … this coarse, loud assault on the senses bears few traces of Dr. Seuss's tartly whimsical sensibility …

Village Voice N/A … comes scarily close to being the most unendurable Hollywood creation of the last dozen years.
