Synopsis: The Grinch steals Christmas…kind of.
The Good: I was very impressed with how they did this one. Somehow it was my first time seeing this version but it was wonderful. The commercialism and capitalist criticism was refreshing and Christine Baranski was very fun.
The Bad: It must just be the story itself that lulls for me because again I had a hard time staying invested during the middle with the Whoville plot but the Grinch jumped off screen every time.
Best Line: Oh, the Who-manity!’
Fun Fact: The scene where the Grinch is directing his dog, Max (Kelley), before stealing Christmas, is Jim Carrey making fun of producer and director Ron Howard, imitating his style of directing. Howard found the scene hilarious and decided to include it in this movie.
Verdict:
Technical: 7.75
Entertainment Value: 7.75
Genre Rating: 7.5
IMDb Score: 6.3
Total: 7.75
