Featured review
Based on the Dr. Seuss book of the same name, the movie takes the the book and keeps the overall framework intact while reimagining it as a Plains, Trains, and Automobiles type misadventure road story with grumpy inventor Guy (Michael Douglas) and energetic optimist Sam I Am (Adam Devine) being thrown together by circumstance and embarking on a cross country journey involving all manner of complications and characters related directly or indirectly to a creature called a Chickeraffe.
Dr. Seuss has had a rough path in terms of adaptations. While some adaptations like the Chuck Jones How the Grinch Stole Christmas or Friz Freeling Lorax are well respected one off TV specials, other adaptations range from passable to outright disastrous. Green Eggs and Ham is not the first attempt at adapting Seuss for a TV series, but it's easily the most successful. Filled with beautiful animation, imaginative designs that feel true to the Seussian source material, and terrific voice acting from not only our two leads but also from an eclectic group of voice talent including Diane Keaton, Ilana Glazer, Tracy Morgan, and Eddie Izzard to name a few. The show is incredibly clever and can be enjoyed by both children and their parents, but doesn't have feel the need to cram in out of place dirty humor as was seen in The Grinch or Mike Myers' Cat in the Hat. This is a very fine family friendly show that gets by on its creativity, imagination, and genuine likability. Highly recommended!
