Jim CarreyAfter Ace Ventura:Pet Detective and When Nature Calls Jim Carrey is on a roll being in all of these hysterical movies and making a big success in all of them.I love how if the Grinch didn't make a mess picking something up he would just throw everything around until it made a mess and then he would just walk away.I love how he wore a wedding band on his leg then he ripped his clothes off.And how he went into the post office and put everything in their wrong boxes.Great movie but now in real form not cartoon.

Universal Studios Dr. Seuss' How The Grinch Stole...It's a travesty that one of the best written children's stories that has a pure and simple message about the true spirit of Christmas being love and sharing would be bastardized by this crass film. They paid little or no heed to the intent of the story and padded it with poorly executed movie cliches and Hollywood formula story elements. Worst of all, they actually had the audacity to use the film as a vehicle for product placement and commercialization of the Christmas season, the very thing that Dr. Seuss wanted to put an end to by writing the story. The film should have been picketed by the followers of Dr. Seuss for being sacrilegious. Did you find it helpful or unhelpful? Top

Universal Studios Dr. Seuss' How The Grinch Stole...I give this movie a 3. The cartoon version is much better. Jim Carrey, however, has a few funny moments with his one-liners. Did you find it helpful or unhelpful? Top

Universal Studios Dr. Seuss' How The Grinch Stole...Horrible remake of a kids cartoon that needed no such treatment. It expanded the 'Grinch' universe. It just speaks to the arrogance of Hollywood. The notion that they could do something like this is appaulling That did not need doing either. Jim Carrey plays him ok, but not what it should have been. They should learn from their mistakes and not do things like this. Twenty-two minutes is just right for the Dr. Seuss classic. Did you find it helpful or unhelpful? Top

Universal Studios Dr. Seuss' How The Grinch Stole...I first heard about this film and dreaded Jim Carrey playing The Grinch. I just did not intially think that it suited him. But after watching it, I see that they could not have picked anyone better fit for the role of the grinch. A lot of slapstick, sarcastic, in your face comedy while still sticking true to the book itself. A really good one to watch around the holidays! Did you find it helpful or unhelpful? Top

Universal Studios Dr. Seuss' How The Grinch Stole...I like this movie I love to watch it around Christmas. They really stuck to the book. I like the little extras too like the grinch as a kid and it shows why the grinch hates Christmas in the first place. My favorite character is Max the dog. I think that Ron Howard did a good job directing this movie. I thought that Jim Carrey did a pretty good job as the Grinch. I like how they made whoville look is was really neat and how they used the makeup to make them look a lot like the whos. Did you find it helpful or unhelpful? Top

Universal Studios Dr. Seuss' How The Grinch Stole...I was very disappointed to hear that Jim Carrey was going to play the Grinch. Why didn't they get a good actor? I can't bring myself to watch the whole thing. I'm afraid it would tarnish the memory of the classic cartoon. Did you find it helpful or unhelpful? Top

Universal Studios Dr. Seuss' How The Grinch Stole...Wow, I am really in a minority here! But I really don't care. I feel this needs to be said. THIS FILM WAS TRASH! I got it for Christmas and only watched it once. This was nothing at all like the cartoon. I can't believe they consider this a children's movie. Scenes of the Grinch eating the top off of a beer bottle, COME ON!! There is no way I can justify anyone allowing a small child to watch this film! As far as I am concerned, Hollywood has once again butchered a classic. Did you find it helpful or unhelpful? Top

Universal Studios Dr. Seuss' How The Grinch Stole...As a lifelong fan of the original animated version of “How the Grinch Stole Christmas” I was skeptical that it could be stretched into a 2 hour movie. Then I discovered that Ron Howard had directed it, I considered his good record and that gave me new hope. However, about 45 minutes in my hopes were dashed. This is just a cheesy overblown version of the original – and one in which the original, tight story has simply been pulled and stretched until it is barely recognizable. For obvious reasons, Jim Carrey was without a doubt the best choice for the part of the Grinch (although a very close second could easily have been Tim Curry – who would have also been wasted on this). As you would expect, Carrey manages his usual spastic, scenery-chewing interpretation to perfection. Still the whole premise that the Grinch isn’t so much mean as he is maladjusted due to problems in his early childhood is just a tad too PC for me to accept. I also think that the show would be pretty frightening to really young children – especially some of the snarling close-ups of the Grinch early in the film. Another point I noticed was the cheap, rude humor involved - such as when the Grinch pins misletoe to his rear and shakes it at the crowd. There was also the time he fell on a woman and ended up (predictably) landing face down on her chest. This kind of stuff may be hilarious in frat boy flicks like “Animal House”, but I don’t think it has a place in something widely touted as a children’s Christmas movie. I will add an extra star for the great makeup alone. Even with that, it didn’t take me long to lose interest in this fiasco and long for the voice of Boris Karloff and that classic little animated film with the simple, to the point message.

Universal Studios Dr. Seuss' How The Grinch Stole...The Grinch was deserves an OKAY rating. Not Great and not Terrible. It was a fun movie for kids but was a little drawn out and somewhat boring. I found myself checking my watch to see how much longer it would last. Did you find it helpful or unhelpful? Top

Universal Studios Dr. Seuss' How The Grinch Stole...This is a great movie to see around the holidays. Jim Carrey plays as The Grinch who plots to steal Christmas. This is also a good movie because it explaned why the Grinch hated Christmas in the first place. My favorite character is Max the dog. Did you find it helpful or unhelpful? Top

Universal Studios Dr. Seuss' How The Grinch Stole...How The Grinch Stole Christmas is one over stuffed movie, and by the end of the first hour, it nearly explodes, and starts losing all of it's momentum and stuff. Jim Carrey however, for the first times isn't annoying and that's a record. Did you find it helpful or unhelpful? Top

Universal Studios Dr. Seuss' How The Grinch Stole...What a foul and terrible waste of Jim Carrey's talent. This movie was little more than eye candy with ridiculous subplots. I was not at all impressed at this film that I thought would do at least a little justice to the Chuck Jones cartoon version. Sad to think that this movie was the highest grossing of the year.

Universal Studios Dr. Seuss' How The Grinch Stole...Even if you don't like Jim Carrey, this is a great see for adults. Ron Howard does an excellent job of really bringing Whoville and its characters to a cartoon. May not follow just by the book, but a great, creative and funny movie. Can't tell the Grinch is Jim Carrey. Definitely a good film to see. Did you find it helpful or unhelpful? Top

Universal Studios Dr. Seuss' How The Grinch Stole...My family has begun a new tradition for Christmas Eve. We venture out to dinner and then a movie together. This year we selected this film. Having read the book I was interested in the way they would thread the original text through the film. Cindy Lou Who's character is greatly enlarged in this version, but then it is appropriate to the story line. She is the main bearer of the message that you are left with at the end. Yet even more magnificent,and what I did not expect, was to be enthralled by was the set and costumes used to tell the tale. What a wonderful job! I would love to watch it again to study the settings etc. I also loved the little dog. Hard to believe that they found him in a pound. This film has a real message for all to see. I hope it becomes a Christmas Clasic in years to come. As an added note - when my family left the theatre that night and walked to the car we saw a shooting star. Perhaps it was heralding the birth of a new king of Christamas films. Or perhaps, since it was Christmas Eve it was simply the Grinch delivering presents. :) Did you find it helpful or unhelpful? Top

Universal Studios Dr. Seuss' How The Grinch Stole...So I had little expectations when going to see The Grinch but I left thinking, what a fun movie. The costumes were colorful and festive and that one song was so darn catchy. I was impressed with how well Ron Howard managed to stick with the book while at the same time using artistic liberty to create an imaginative world and entertaining sub-plots. Max, the dog, was the coolest movie dog ever and you have to give Jim Carrey credit for his great improvisations throughout the movie. I especially like his Ron Howard-esque pep talk to Max on how to portray Rudolph. Great matinee movie, see it with the kids. But watch out, it runs to almost two hours so there are bound to be some slow parts where you'll be wishing it the movie would just hurry up! Did you find it helpful or unhelpful? Top

Universal Studios Dr. Seuss' How The Grinch Stole...I had been looking forward to seeing the Grinch for awhile due to all the hype of Jim Carey and Ron Howard. The movie stuck to the book and was definitely geared towards kids. It was good, not great. I went in expecting more humor (or adult humor). I thought it would be the kind of movie for adults and kids. Like more of a comedy but I was wrong. It definitely is a kids movie. The moral is strong and it is a great movie for kids to see. It is incredibly creative. The sets and costumes are amazing. The makeup is unbelievable. It is a good movie to get you in the holiday spirit but don't go expecting too much.
