Memorable, crazy movie

Highly Overrated But Still Good

Great Film overall

A great movie, one of the best of this year. There was a bit of confusion at one point in the plot, but nothing serious.

I love this film! It is unique, touching and really funny! It's a film that really gets you into the Christmas spirit while still providing an intriguing storyline. The grinch is portrayed amazingly by Jim Carey and is worth watching for him alone. Cindy Lou Who is also likeable. It has lots of great laughs and the grinch is more relatable than one might first imagine! It also has a satisfactory conclusion and leaves you looking forward to rewatching it next year.

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.

Depending on why you've decided to watch this movie, you'll either love it or hate it. For me, I was looking for another fun Christmas movie to add to the list because it's my favorite time of year. Man, was I disappointed. Although the plot is obviously well-known, the incorporation of human characters made it more frightening than memorable. On one hand, I will admit that the make-up and costume department did a phenomenal job, but on the other hand, I found the whole cast to be more likely to be seen in a horror movie. I was unable to connect with the characters because I simply felt repulsed by them throughout the entirety of the film. Beloved classics like "Where Are You Christmas" sung by Cindy Lou Who were cringe-worthy instead of charming. The best movies for me are the ones where you're transported into that reality and for the duration of the film, you forget where you are. Throughout How the Grinch Stole Christmas, I was looking at my watch rather than glued to the screen. Although, I will say that Jim Carrey did a phenomenal job embracing the character and making it his own. Unfortunately for me, I found the Grinch to be dull and not as comical as he was meant to be. If you come into this movie looking for nothing more than background noise to open presents to, then this is the movie for you. I found it to be neither emotional nor exciting, adventurous nor inspiring. The main character, the Grinch, summed up my feelings about the production with a perfect quote, "Hate, hate, hate, hate, hate, hate, double hate, loathe entirely."

"How the Grinch Stole Christmas" is such a great and heartwarming story! Jim Carrey gives an amazing performance as the Grinch. He is so funny and brings so much joy to every moment that he is on the screen. How The Grinch Stole Christmas is a story about a Grinch who never really fit in with his town and because of that he lives apart from all of the Whos down in Whoville. One Christmas he meets a Who named Cindy Lou Who. Cindy invites the Grinch to come down off of his mountain and join the rest of the Whos at their big Christmas celebration. While at the celebration the mayor of Whoville gives the Grinch a present that reminds him that he is not really apart of Whoville and that he is an outsider. The Grinch is outraged and decides to steal christmas from the Whos. With help from Max, his dog, Grinch's steals everything that is reminiscent of Christmas from Whoville. He takes the tree, food, ornaments, decorations, presents, etc. so that Whoville won't be able to celebrate Christmas. Much to his dismay, the Whos manage to celebrate Christmas without the presents and decorations by remembering that the most important thing about Christmas is who you are with and not what you have. Cindy Lou Who goes up the mountain to invite the Grinch to celebrate Christmas with her. While she is there, she is nearly crushed by the sleigh that the Grinch used to steal all of Christmas. The Grinch saves her and together they go back down the mountain. The Grinch apologizes for stealing Christmas and is forgiven for stealing Christmas. He then spends the rest of Christmas with the Whos.
