Summary: Most Enjoyable!
Review: When I went to see The Grinch, I just expected it to be a cute kid's movie. But, it was more than that. I found it to be very enjoyable and heart warming, really putting you in the Christmas spirit. I was amazed at the makeup work and the costumes and scenery. It was just out of this world! I didn't want the movie to end, and have anxiously awaited the release of The Grinch on DVD. This is a movie for all ages and will be instantly adored by anyone that has a heart!

Summary: HOW THE GRINCH STOLE THE BOX OFFICE
Review: BASED on the classic Dr. Seuss tale of "HOW THE GRINCH STOLE CHRISTMAS", THE GRINCH not only proved the durability of the multi-talented JIM CARREY (comedies, dramas, now family films), but also proved that classic stories can be modernized and still be just as enjoyable. Not only is the unique element of the story still there, but the silver screened edition adds more plot on many subjects. Most importantly - the Grinch's origin that explains his hatred and disgust for the Whos and their beloved holiday. Some will argue that this either perverts a classic or dulls it's shine. Not at all, and after seeing the movie you'll realize that it is in no way possible. The movie can't tarnish that eternal shine, and really can only make the old classic even more popular than it already is. Here are some facts and comparisons: Some say: "If you can't stick to the classic's criteria, there shouldn't be an updated version." I say: "The classic is a 2 minute read and a 30 minute cartoon. There's no such thing as adjusting a 30 minute cartoon's subject matter into that of a required (atleast) 90 minute film. The updated version actually contains all that is in the cartoon and book, adding the rest was simply needed. Could you imagine stretching out 30 minutes of material into 90 minutes?! Anyways, THE GRINCH is BASED on the classic childrens book. B A S E D." Some say: "I went to THE GRINCH in hopes of seeing something alot more. That movie is basically the Grinch stealing Christmas, where's the rest? Surely the story needed something different!" I say: "Saying you knew the Grinch would steal Christmas and that you expected more is like saying you went to TITANIC in hopes of the true story having a manipulative-movie-happy-ending where the boat doesn't sink. Too bad because besides the added origin/reasoning, great make-up (Oscar winning), excellent design and portrayal of the Whos and their town (Oscar nominated Art Direction)...you also get JIM CARREY who gives another Oscar-snubbed performance as the Grinch. Not only does CARREY go through with hours and hours of make-up each day to get the job done, he also makes the Grinch his own. He keeps the tone and attitude of the classic character solid while adding humor, plenty of facial expressions he could do without make-up, and most of all... ironically likeable." Some say: "Where's the rhyming and Seuss-like feel? The movie had dialouge and singing...but that dialouge should be in rhyme!" I say: "Pleeeeaaassseee!! That's the one thing this movie definetely did not need and wisely kept out! Constant Seuss rhymes would only bore the adults of the FAMILY MOVIE AUDIENCE much like Disney movie songs and Barney sing-a-longs. A little rhyming is allright, a whole 90 minutes..." Some say: "Many parts of THE GRINCH are not for children audiences! Kissing a dog's rearend! Belching in someone's face? That is so immature and vulgar for a PG rated movie!" I say: "Firstly, it's a PG (Parental Guidence suggested, let's all say it together...again...one more time). Lastly, it doesn't show a close-up (or at all) of the dog's butt meeting the lips of it's victim. It's not as graphic as you make it sound. Belching...yeah, gross. Nobody does that until they see a movie to influence them to do so. Yeah, whatever...next?" Some say: "There's quite the run of dry spots that can drag on." I say: "I must not have noticed, nor left the house with such a Grinch-like attitude. I went to the movie to have fun. The parts I thought were dry was the little girl singing "Where Are You Christmas", but atleast, thank god, they didn't go overkill with it. JIM CARREY also gets in on the singing with his version of YOU'RE A MEAN ONE, MR. GRINCH." I haven't seen THE GRINCH since opening day (11/17/00) and would gladly deem it in the Top 5 Movies of 2000. AND, it certainly isn't as bad as THEY make it seem. Either they are JIM CARREY bashers or not a fan of modernizing classics, but I can't think of one real reason not to see it. Though I won't and can't ever forget this NOW-CLASSIC, I do highly recommend this one for everybody. At the moment I am wishing I had seen it more than once, 'cause now I'm suffering from withdrawls to know when it will be released to own on DVD! Remember, not all classics set the standards. Sometimes it can be the upstaged by it's successor.

Summary: Not Good
Review: I don't know where the numerous praises saying that this movie was good for kids came from. I'm a kid and I hated it. Compared to Jim Carrey's previous work, this movie barely had a serious moment and wasn't even funny. The extras that they added were gross and juvenile. I'm not Carrey's biggest fan, but some of his comedic talent are bizzarely hilarious. This isn't one of those moments, though.

Summary: The Grinch is almost as classic as the book
Review: This movie was absolutely delightful... It kept me laughing constantly because the humour was well delivered and written (thanks to the great Dr Seuss himself) and it was so full of fun. The friends i went with loved it too, and this movie made me love Jim Carrey even more. His facial expressions and portrayal of the grinch was so cool!! ggggggreat movie!!

Summary: Excellent Christmas favorite for years to come...
Review: Ron Howard's directing at its best -- Jim Carrey seems to have found a role where he doesn't seem annoying. I was impressed by his acting, the set, and even little Cindy-Loo-Who. In addition, this movie has a great soundtrack. I plan on watching this every Christmas for years to come!

Summary: A Movie to Watch Each Christmas
Review: I was a bit skeptical when I heard they were doing a live action movie. I did not want to see it but my kids did. So the Friday before Christmas, we ventured to the theatre where I was prepared to take a nap. I told myself to remember it is a make believe story. If I wanted reality I could watch the News. Much to my surprise, I enjoyed the movie enough to go back a second time. Jim Carey was magnificent. No one could have done it better. Ron Howard was fabulous. Though the additional storyline got carried away, it worked. The scenery was awesome. I loved Cindy Lou Who. And the story about why the Grinch hated the Who's. When it is released on DVD, it will totally become part of my Christmas Movie Collection.
