Summary: Completely Magic, for Kids and Adults
Review: This film is one of the best I've seen in a really long time. It starts with touching, hauntingly perfect narration by Anthony Hopkins (who seems born to narrate Dr. Suess - his velvety voice is magic), and from there, things just keep getting better. The mystical sets and costumes seem so in place, so right, that the comic aspect of them is almost lost in the wonder of it. Jim Carrey is a lovable, laughable Grinch, and some of his improv is hilarious on an adult level. His 'Die-Hard' and 'Chariots of Fire' spoofs, as well as a funny take on Ron Howard (the brilliant director) are too out there for young kids but provide great relief for grown-ups. Too perfect. Everything is just great, and even teens I know have enjoyed the film. All ages will adore it.

Summary: How bad can you make it!
Review: Being a long time fan of DR. SUESS's true version of the Grinch, you wouldn't think they could destroy the story that badly but, congratulations Ron you've succeeded. Don't get me wrong I really enjoy watching Jim Carrey acting or a Ron Howard film. The only reason it got two stars out of me is because no one could've played the Grinch better than Jim Carrey. I don't know it really upset me that they even had the audacity to make a movie out of this classic tale. Sometimes it is better to leave things the way they are, we didn't need a live action version of the Grinch the original was just fine......

Summary: The Best Christmas Movie Ever
Review: I have have always been a fan of the Grinch movies for years. Last year when I had seen the movie in the movie theatre, I had thought that it was the best Christmas movie ever. Mrs. Seuss couldn't have picked a better man to play the Grinch. Jim Carrey had really done a magnificant job. The faces of the people were so detailed and the whole scenary with the thousands of Christmas lights and houses was amazingly done. I can't wait until the movie comes out. This is a must see for all ages.

Summary: Jim Carrey IS the Grinch!
Review: It's no wonder that "Dr. Seuss' How the Grinch Stole Christmas" ended up being the number one, top-box office money-maker of the year 2000. Jim Carrey IS the Grinch! His portrayal is obviously based on not only the book and the 1966 animated special, but also the other Grinches as seen in Dr. Seuss' "Grinch Night" and "The Grinch Grinches The Cat In The Hat" .... His facial expressions and mannerisms are perfect (and approved by Seuss' widow- a real Grinch lover herself)! It’s amazing to see him do that famous Grinch smile that seems to go on forever! Jim manages to speak clearly and sound like a Grinch, even with those huge prosthetic teeth, (which as he told Rosie O’Donald, force you to talk as he did in the movie). And to be as flexible as he ever was, even in that suit! In fact, he's actually rather cute! The film is funny both for kids and adults since it has a variety of humor to appeal to all ages. My 7 year old and her 60 year old Grandpa loved it as much as I did and I’m 33, making this a rare film that can be enjoyed by all generations. The whole production is amazing; sets are right out of a typical Seuss book, like “The Troubles I Had in Getting To Solla Sollew” or Whoville as seen in “Horton Hears a Who”. Lots of details (like the 1950’s style refrigerator from the original book), make it all the more spectacular, yet, they still managed to make it feel some how modern, too. Cindy Lou Who is adorable and the new characters work well. The story is fantastic as we finally find out WHY the Grinch hates Christmas. The last part of the movie is right out of the book and cartoon but with a few of it’s own inflections. And I LOVED the new version of “You’re a Mean One, Mr. Grinch” much more than I ever loved the version from the animation. Anybody who tells you Ron Howard was off the mark or that Jim wasn’t good simply doesn’t know Grinch! I’m a Grinch fanatic and a Seuss fanatic and I can tell you that every bit of this film was researched and designed incredibly well. In “Horton”, Whoville was inside of a speck of dust. In this film, it’s in a snowflake- perfect! I can't wait to finally own this one!

Summary: This was a magical getaway
Review: I saw this movie in theaters, and let me tell you, the whole thing was just, so magical. My favorite thing about the movie, was how wonderful whoville was. The sets for the movie were very great. The new ideas for the newer grinch movie added to the creativity of the original. I loved the fact that the film makers of the grinch were able to change the story a little, and add on to it , without changing it into something too different. the story is cute,touching,and magical. if you loved the original, you'll love the new touch of this one.

Summary: How the Grinch Stole Your Hearts
Review: This film had excellent costumes and makeup. It was well done, a good family movie that had heart. You saw why the Grinch was so mean. There are scenes in this film that are just darling and outright hilarious. This is a film that the whole family can enjoy and the parents don't have to worry about the usual garbage writers through into the script. It's not too long, not too short, but just right.
