Kicking and Screaming/Dr. Seuss` The Cat in the Hat (DVD)

This double-feature contains two wild comedies for the whole family. In KICKING & SCREAMING, funny man Will Ferrell`s (OLD SCHOOL, SNL) humorous man-child antics meet actual kids on the soccer pitch. He plays vitamin salesman Phil Weston, a sensitive man easily capable of both crying and sewing, whose mild manners come under scrutiny by his tough-as-nails father (and soccer coach) Buck (Robert Duvall). Upon Phil`s begging to get his son more playing time, Buck trades his grandson to the last-place team, the Tigers. Not just any normal cellar-dwelling outfit, the Tigers feature a cast of lovable losers who prefer eating worms and telling jokes to playing soccer. When the Tigers` coach leaves, putting the season on the line, an inexperienced Phil steps in to helm his son`s new team. Fueled by a raging caffeine habit, Phil starts to overly obsess with beating Buck, losing sight of why he took the job in the first place--to be a better dad to his own son.DR. SEUSS` THE CAT IN THE HAT: This adaptation of the classic children`s book stars Mike Meyers (AUSTIN POWERS) as the wily talking cat with a tall striped hat and more than a few tricks up his sleeve. Set in a colorful make-believe world, the film tells the classic tale of a sister and brother, Sally (Dakota Fanning) and Conrad (Spencer Breslin), who pass a rainy afternoon with their crotchety baby sitter Mrs. Kwan (Amy Hill), during which they receive a visit from the mysterious Cat in the Hat, who leads them on a series of colorful, illogical, silly misadventures. Meanwhile their mother (Kelly Preston), her paranoid boss (Sean Hayes), and her phony boyfriend (Alec Baldwin), present obstacles for the children as they become part of the Cat`s chaotic world.
