CRITIC REVIEWS
Lew Irwin
Movies based on the Dr. Seuss children's books have rarely received decent reviews. Horton Hears a Who! is definitely an exception. Ty Burr in the Boston Globe calls it "a fresh and mostly refreshing approach in Hollywood's pillaging of the good doctor's oeuvre." Likewise, Gene Seymour writes in Newsday that the movie is the first "to adequately evoke the warmhearted eccentricity of Theodore Geisel's classic children's books." Still, a number of reviews are lukewarm at best. "The film is as good as o ?ne could hope for in this era of post-literate impatience," comments Desson Thomson in the Washington Post. And A.O. Scott grumbles in the New York Times: "What distinguishes Horton Hears a Who! from the other recent Dr. Seuss film adaptations ... is that it is not one of the worst movies ever made," he review begins. And it ends on this note: ""It's a marvelous stale and a hard one to ruin. And the makers of Horton Hears a Who! haven't, though I fear it was not for lack of trying."
