its because it took jokes from lesser known sketch comedy shows like mr show (where the infomercial bit was lifted from, almost verbatim), the state, kids in the hall, etc, and repackaged them into a "kid's" movie.
Jesus, if you're not american or under 30 this was probably your first exposure to some of the better sketch comedy that's been produced.
i watched the vhs of this easily over 300 times as a kid until the tape died died. i got in trouble for re- scenes at school with my friends. in class we would go "SON OF A B-" and repeat youtube poop/newgrounds bits. *sip* yeeeeeeeep it sure was good being a 2000s kid
This movie is a horrible adaptation of The Cat in the Hat but it's fucking hilarious and kino as fuck when you're older and recognize it as a Mike Myers movie. Half the humor for me comes from how a Dr. Seuss movie has jokes about clowns having hepatitis, Taiwanese government, and the mom having a bikini foldout in a picture frame with the hat getting an erection. The fact that this film was even released how it is and had no mandated cuts or changes from suits is insane.
>mom having a bikini foldout in a picture frame with the hat getting an erection.
this film gets a lot of hate but that is a simple, clean joke a kid or an adult could laugh at, and is funnier than anything put out by Hollywood in the last decade
>This movie is a horrible adaptation of The Cat in the Hat but it's fucking hilarious and kino as fuck when you're older and recognize it as a Mike Myers movie.
pretty much. There's no way kids would understand 90% of the jokes. I wouldn't be surprised if this is one of those movies where the budget and ideas got to out of control that it was impossible to bring it back down without destroying the entire production.

Wasn't this the movie that made them clamp down on these adaptations to make them soulless? I'd so much rather see someone with an idea do something left field like turn a Seuss book into a raunchy PG comedy than just see some robots turn a kid's picture book into 2 hours of inoffensive CGI.
The tone is completely wrong for a Seuss adaptation. I thought it was good as a kid, like i thought pretty much every movie was good. But imagine being the parents or critics watching hyperactive Mike Myers making retarded faces and threatening to kill people. In an adaptation of some of the most beloved and wholesome, whimsical childrens books ever. Its funny to me now, but its obvious why it was hated.
>hilarious as fuck >kino set design and cinematography
Would be remembered as a masterpiece if Seuss dickriders didn't get their panties in a wad about it being an unfaithful adaptation
>according to cast and crew, working with Mike Myers on this film was a "horrible, nightmarish experience." Actors would wait for hours for Myers to come out of makeup, he only spoke to his handlers and director Bo Welch during down time on set, he had his handlers dress his trailer, and his area was all covered with tenting because he didn't want anybody seeing him. He also had a male assistant who sole job was to feed him chocolates from a Tupperware container, and the film ended up having long and pointless additional takes of scenes because he overruled Welch on whether they were good enough or not
I love how autistic this dude is
The commentary track with baldwin and the director is hilarious. The director basically refuses to reveal any of the filmmaking “secrets” and baldwin starts cumming whenever kelly preston is on screen
Unfiltered Mike Myers kino fresh off the set of Goldmember.
AHHH JUDAS PRIEST
hahahahahahahahahaha
this movie makes me laugh so fucking hard, at this point I don't know whether me enjoying it is ironic or not
sometimes even just remembering it exists makes me giggle a bit

>i never caught on to that joke
I miss when movie studios would fund state of the art memes
kino
SON OF BI-
ahead of it's time by 15+ years

i watched the vhs of this easily over 300 times as a kid until the tape died died. i got in trouble for re- scenes at school with my friends. in class we would go "SON OF A B-" and repeat youtube poop/newgrounds bits. *sip* yeeeeeeeep it sure was good being a 2000s kid
i havnt been on newgrounds in years
im going to check it out
Don't bother, it's infested with zoomers thanks that autistic rhythm game
>got in trouble for re- scenes at school with my friends. in class we would go "SON OF A B-"
Nice to know I wasn't the only one
I did the same thing, did a stick figure animation on dsi flipnote where I dubbed over the scene whisper screaming

The Cat in the Hat is so kino that the Seuss estate banned all live action adaptations because of it
>ANYTHING!
>Anything?
>ANYTHING!!
>..Anything-
>I’ll get you, and it’ll look like a bloody accident
The joke works 1000x better without playing it up immediately afterward.
pure, unadulterated kino
this movie will eventually be seen as a masterpiece
it's seen as a masterpiece now
NOT ONLY ARE YOU WRONG, YOU’RE STUPID
honestly. authentically. genuinely. cannot understand why this movie has a bad reputation. I loved it as a kid and I love it even more now
it’s weird, yeah, but I’d prefer that to schlock

I liked the love guru, too.

that's the most based thing i've ever heard
no wonder it was pure fucking kino
>Actors would wait for hours for Myers to come out of makeup
I mean its not his fault if it took that long to put the cat face on him
this retard thinks the movie is bad
>Nobody likes a suck-up
Baldwin killed it

Kek, I just looked this scene up and laughed out loud. I really need to watch this movie.
Wow I just watched the clip this movie might not be as good as I remembered, that line was good but then they drew out the joke further
That's what Myers does always
I don't use the D-word per se cause I think it's really really wrong
I watched this movie and I felt like the walls in the room were closing in on me
Any other examples of Meyers being a pain to deal with on set for weird reasons?
The scene where he gets hit in the balls and then it shows him as a little girl on a swing is the pinnacle of comedy
>YOU'RE FIREEEEEEEEEEEEEEEeeeeeeDUH
