A Superb Holiday Film - For All Ages! Jim Carrey Is Great!
You really can't say enough about Dr Suess' How The Grinch Stole Christmas. It is, in my opinion, the greatest Holiday film ever. It would'nt have been as good without Jim Carrey. I think he did the best job as "The Grinch". He is believable, hilarious, and exactly what the real movie Grinch should have looked like. The visual effects are extremely great, as well as the Who's. (Molly Shannon is very good). Based on the book & the cartoon, the magic of the film is unbelievable, as you will laugh until you cry and you will not belive your eyes as the brilliant brings How The Grinch Stole Christmas to life. This film will be a classic from now on, and Jim Carrey will always be remembered as the "vile" Mr. Grinch!

Remake of a Classic
It's difficult to transform a classic, twenty-some minute animated film into a full-length movie, but director Ron Howard does a pretty good job with "The Grinch". The potent asset of this movie is the casting; Jim Carrey does an awesome job in his portrayal of "The Grinch". I don't know of any other actor who could play this part with such animation and credibility. Cindy Lou Who, played by Taylor Momsen, is also a definite casting plus. And Anthony Hopkins is a perfect choice for narrator. The excellent makeup and set designs also deserves kudos. There are a few downsides to this movie, however: 1) The length - it could have made the same impact if it were 85 mins. rather than 105. 2) At times it is obnoxiously loud. (I found myself lowering the volume often). 3) The story line digresses quite a bit from the original animated version (perhaps embelished to accomodate a 105 minute film?) which tends to divert the attention of real "Grinch" fans. Overall, the movie is entertaining and appropriate for the entire family. Would I see it again? Yes. Would I buy it? No. I give it 3 stars.

Loved it!
I really liked it a lot! I watch the original cartoon every Chrsitmas and I've read the book to my little brother. This is a really cute movie I would definitly reccomend. I think the Grinch's cold hearted spirit is captured really well (until he turns good that is). Some people don't like this and feel it ruined the Grinch because it's not strictly to the book, but what do you expect? The book wasn't very long. It can be read in about five minutes more or less...

Anyway I do suggest you watch this provided you aren't one of those affor mentioned people that freak out over every little thing. I do NOT reccomend the Cat in the Hat movie. I thought that movie seemed too much like Austin Powers in a cat suit to tell the truth,
