I remember first seeing this movie back in primary school. It was enjoyable yet weird. I also see it whenever it's on television too during Christmas. It's one of these "okay" Christmas movies out there I guess. I only see it due to the Grinch, yet there's something I just don't like about him. Maybe because he's shown to be a menace during the Christmas season - sort of like the opposite to Santa.

Ron Howard's big screen version of the beloved Christmas book is one of the few modern Christmas 'classics' (and I use this word loosely) that we have.For me though it's not that great. The visuals are great, the story well adapted, but it didn't do a lot for me.Jim Carrey is given full reign to mug and clown around, with his own brand of humour not always hitting the spot. Christine Baranski is the best of the various supporting players.So, sorry, for me this is not a Christmas classic. Just another fairly average attempt at being one.

It's Christmas day tomorrow so me and my family decided to watch how the Grinch stole Christmas and this is a great Christmas film. The Premise of the film sees a land of whoville trying to celebrate Christmas when a Grinch decides to ruin Christmas. Jim carrey plays the Grinch in this film and he truly owns the role in this film, he is in allot of makeup but it shows in his great physically hilarious performance that is hard not to enjoy. He is very charismatic and you can tell that he improvised allot of his lines and is having fun which is great to see. The little girl in the film is good and gives a performance that works well with the grinch an you understand how their relationship progresses. Jeffrey tambor gives a fun performance as the mayor of whoville and he is good as the annoying antagonist in the film. Unfortunately, there are other characters that are just pretty dull and you don't really care about some of the who's. The story has some really good drama in it and you actually see great character progression from the Grinch. You end up caring about his story arc and you like seeing his character grow. The script has so much great dialogue, so much humour from the Grinch but also drama and depth to the great message in the film. The style is really unique with some absolutely amazing make up and costume designs that is award worthy. However, some of the effects are very dated an they just really take you out of the film. Overall this is a great Christmas film that has a great message that the whole family can enjoy.

I was not even a little excited to watch How the Grinch Stole Christmas , but I decided to take a chance and really enjoyed it , the direction is good Ron Howard, who did so much good movie as bad over here he hits , the picture is nice the costumes are good, the makeup is very competent , the soundtrack is good , the script is pretty simple , more is compelling , the cast is good, Jim Carrey is unrecognizable , and many will disagree , the more this is one of your best performances , Jim Carrey is great as Grinch , he is very funny, the film can get a little boring . It has characters dull , featuring the Grinch is good , but I admit that I was bothered by the appearance of the inhabitants of Whoville , How the Grinch Stole Christmas is a fun and funny movie , has forced moments , and some boring dialogues , most have a cool script and a main character and charismatic and funny .
