”You pay!…this woman!…to sit on babies?” (Pause for punchline.) ”I’d do it for nothing!” Each time the Cat drops a gag like that, he laughs. ”Let me get this straight,” he says, of the children’s fat wonk of a babysitter. Through it all, he tells jokes so bad that even though they’re supposed to be bad (that’s the joke, you see), they’re really just…bad. He coats the walls and furniture with purple Flubberish goo. He turns into a matador, a Scottish TV chef, a dreadlocked hippie petitioner (the one time I laughed), and Carmen Miranda. He burps and flounces and gets beat on like a piñata. And, oh, is poor Mike Myers ever working hard in it! As the Cat, he pays a visit to Conrad and Sally (Spencer Breslin and Dakota Fanning), who live on a block of what appear to be identically oversize, lavender Monopoly houses, and he introduces them to the joys of attention-deficit anarchy. ”The Cat in the Hat,” directed by former production designer Bo Welch (”Edward Scissorhands”), is all unhinged visual piffle the look is Corporate Tim Burton, but the atmosphere is ”Home Alone” squared. The Cat in The Hat knows a lot about virtually every thing. It’s been three years since Jim Carrey did his costume-shop Seussian duty in ”How the Grinch Stole Christmas,” and that movie, uninspired as it was, had the architecture of a good story line.
