**Olivia** (0:50)
Yay.

**Ethan Klein** (0:52)
It's been a long time since we've done a movie review. I believe the last one was Lord of the Rings, was it?

**Hila Klein** (0:59)
Oh my God.

**Ethan Klein** (1:00)
It's been a while.

**Olivia** (1:01)
Oh no, Mean Girls.

**Ethan Klein** (1:02)
But we like to get in character, and we like to really feel.

**Hila Klein** (1:06)
Oh yeah.

**Ethan Klein** (1:06)
Oh yeah, Mean Girls was.

**Olivia** (1:08)
We didn't get in character for Mean Girls, did we?

**Ethan Klein** (1:10)
No.

**Dan Fucks** (1:10)
Not really.

**Ethan Klein** (1:11)
We kind of already are Mean Girls. Yeah, I'm a catty bitch.

**Dan Fucks** (1:16)
Yep, it's true.

**Ethan Klein** (1:17)
But now a lot of us haven't seen this movie, Cat in the Hat, 2003, starring Mike Myers, Mark Myers.
And Tamara is, it's hard to tell sometimes when she's kidding. She seems to have, I understood serious that this is one of her favorite movies.

**Tamara** (1:44)
I don't know why, okay. I love this movie, and I'm very anxious that, I'm gonna try my best to not take it personally. Let me, you know, but I do, I love this movie, and I was up till 5 a.m., very worried.

**SPEAKER_7** (1:58)
Oh, stop, really?

**Ethan Klein** (2:00)
Okay.

**Olivia** (2:00)
No, I enjoy, I really enjoyed it, just to get it.

**Ethan Klein** (2:03)
What are you worried about?

**Olivia** (2:04)
Make you feel better right away. What is this?

**Ethan Klein** (2:06)
Yeah, you're worried we didn't like it?

**Tamara** (2:08)
I know you didn't like it.

**Ethan Klein** (2:09)
But do you understand, you've seen what people think about this movie.

**Tamara** (2:13)
I know it's a divisive movie, but I saw at least more than one person in here would.

**Ethan Klein** (2:17)
It's not, I wouldn't call it divisive. I would say the people are very decisive about this movie.

**Olivia** (2:21)
No, no.

**Ethan Klein** (2:21)
Critically.

**AB** (2:22)
Samara, you're looking at this the wrong way, I feel like. See, this is, I mean, You love this movie and look at what we're doing for you.

**Ethan Klein** (2:28)
10% on Rotten Tomatoes.

**Olivia** (2:30)
I think, well, let's be honest. 10% on Rotten Tomatoes does call for icon status. That is very, very, very important.

**Zach** (2:41)
4.7 on IMDb, 4.2 on IMDb.

**Ethan Klein** (2:45)
No, I'm not saying, I'm not saying my opinion. I'm just telling you, it's not, the people are decisive, decisively do not like this film.

**Olivia** (2:52)
It's so.

**Dan** (2:52)
Critically speaking.

**Olivia** (2:53)
We're just making 100% sure, Olivia, calm down.

**Ethan Klein** (2:57)
Now, I'm not saying I always agree with the critics. Some of my favorite movies are not critically acclaimed. I'm just pointing out.

**Olivia** (3:03)
Like what?

**Ethan Klein** (3:04)
The setting from which this review comes from.

**Hila** (3:06)
Fifth Element, or which one?

**Ethan Klein** (3:08)
Fifth Element is one, for example, which it wasn't critically slammed or anything, but it doesn't deserve, it deserves much higher marks, in my humble opinion. Stop.
Anyway, we got an outfit, and we're gonna review the dang film.

**Dan Fucks** (3:22)
Fifth Element has a 70% on live.

**Ethan Klein** (3:25)
Seven?

**Dan Fucks** (3:26)
Seven D.

**Ethan Klein** (3:27)
No, it doesn't.

**Dan Fucks** (3:28)
Yes, it does. I'm looking at it right now.

**Hila** (3:29)
Yeah, but.

**Ethan Klein** (3:30)
I thought I saw 10, hold on.

**Olivia** (3:32)
Cat in the Hat, I wrote down in my notes that it was 10 So it said it on Apple TV.

**Ethan Klein** (3:36)
Yeah, it said it 10%, I also saw 10

**Dan Fucks** (3:39)
