Rating: Summary: A NEW INSTANT XMAS CLASSIC! Review: I was prepared to hate this movie because what I had seen of Dr. Seuss books, I didn't really care for. But not having grown up with the wierd Doctor may have helped me get over the complaints of some Grinch fans out there who are quibbling over the adaption to the widescreen. I am now prepared to sit thru this Jim Carrey vehicle just like I sit thru NAT LAMPS CHRISTMAS VACATION, THE CHRISTMAS STORY and, yes, even IT'S A WONDERFUL LIFE once a year. I must admit it's a little harder to get into the spirit this year but this movie had me thinking about nothing but the holiday coming up. Jim Carrey is perfect as the Grinch but the little girl looks too much like Jon Benet Ramsey. Other than that, this DVD goes right next to the other classics I mentioned above. I haven't given it 5 stars ... yet! (A couple of Christmases to go before it seeps in.)
Rating: Summary: Brutal....absolutely brutal! Review: To begin, this has to be one of the worst movies I have ever seen. It's slow, it's shabby, it's shotty and it sucks. Too much garbage was added into this movie. The Grinch going to Whoville to accept his award made me fall asleep. The Grinch "casing" Whoville in a disguise was another disaster. The ending above all should have been left alone. It should have ended just like the original. Ron Howard in his infinite wisdom couldn't even do that. All around this movie should have never been made. The extras on the DVD were boring as well. Keep away from this movie.

Rating: Summary: Carey disappoints Review: My husband and I were both disappointed with this. We like Jim Carey and did not think he was very funny in this one. Trying to stretch a 30 minute cartoon that was perfect the way it was does not make an entertaining feature.
Rating: Summary: The Grinch Review: The classic book by Dr.Suess finaly came to life. Jim Carrey stared as the grinch. This was the greatest movie I've seen this year.
Rating: Summary: A Great Chirstmas Movie Review: You all know chirtsmas is soon so you SHOULD get the grinch!Funny and of course,green!I will tell you reviews and some stuff(stuff you don't know)bye for now:)
Rating: Summary: The best movie since The Wizard of Oz Review: The Grinch was the best movie that I've seen since the Wizard of Oz. To all the people who hate this movie, I have to say, "Nobody (cares) if you like the outdated, boring, stupid, Boris Karloff version better." Leave Jim Carrey and Ron Howard alone. It's not their fault that you didn't like this film. It's your seeing it in the first place that made you not like it.
Rating: Summary: A spirtless film Review: The visuals were wonderful but the whole film lacked any spirit. It was a very paint by numbers movie. Lacks any joy or heart.
Rating: Summary: Universal Upgrades to Grinch 2.0 (and no adult language!) Review: Advantages: An expensive remake to the original, pretty props, learning more about the fairy-tale Whoville Disadvantages: Goes astray from the book, Cindy Lou Who is considered as an older, only child in this rehashUniversal did a fairly nice job at re-making this high-budget classic: expensive props, visuals, and sound effects. Unfortunately, ortions of the acting and storyline seem mediocre, and this film isn't nearly as close to the original. But hey, how can the originals be outshined anyway? This film is far better than most other PG-rated films, and it wouldn't hurt to add this to your Christmas collection. It's supposed to be funnier than the cartoon, with the aid of Jim Carrey. It makes a true classic, and is very heart-warming, especially at the end. Great, but could've been a lot better for a 100-minute film.
