Review: Horton Hears a Who

Rating: Four out of Five Stars.

I liked this movie much more than I thought I would. I love Dr. Seuss. I have not loved the previous movie adaptations of the books. They always seemed to be much more about the commercial tie ins rather than the stories. Although I have seen Jim Carey plays roles that I have enjoyed, I have also seen him totally take over a movie.

But this one walks a fine line. Yes, it is a Jim Carey take on Horton, but the character's sweetness does not get lost in it. Steve Carell and Carol Burnett are great to listen to. The movie is better than good, but not a knock-out like Ratatouille. But it I would still definitely recommend it.
