Here we have a holiday classic ruined.
The original story was a display of someone who is an outcast from the mainstream because he does not, for some unknown reason, can't relate to his neighbors. So thinking that he can not fit in decides to ruin their fun so they will feel as bad as him at this time of year. As his plans come to fruition, to destroy their holiday, he realizes that the holiday is not about material things and thus gains happiness for himself and others.
In this remake FORGET IT. Now we are surrounded by the most evil, vile and duplicitous race of things (think a race social climbing insects) whose only though is "How can I show I'm better than you".
This time we are given a history why the Grinch is a self imposed outcast, because of a bad childhood trauma, this is a nice touch. From this point on the film goes down hill and fast. Every person you meet is only acting for their self interest. What can I do to show how much better I am than everybody around me. Quite frankly if I was to go to this town and was around these people, even for a short time, I would get out of town as fast as the Grinch had. The only saving grace is little Cindy, the incorruptible child. Who sees the good in all and in the end helps all in the end come together.
This film is a complete disaster, with the exception of filming some of the animated sequences in live action.
Skip it and watch the original animated TV show or better still read the book with your kids.

This MOVIE was so Dang Good. This Should Be The Best Christmas Movie EVER! Jim Carrey As The Grinch Was Total Awesomeness, The story was so sweet, thought-Provoking, and Fantastic. This Movie Makes The Drama So Well, The music is just so sweet, and special. I Really did enjoy this movie, and if you are a big FAN of Christmas, Then this is The movie for you! 10/10

This movie is okay, it's your standard feel good Christmas movie. But, I just cant watch it comfortably, it's the village peoples (Whos) faces. They just make me cringe to the point where I have to turn it off. Which is annoying because I am a big fan of Dr. Seuss and I wanted to enjoy this film. Apart from that, it's not too bad. Prefer the book (for once).

at first sigh, it is his film. in fact, he is only the key to discover a different, lovely, seductive about the holiday. because Grinch is the perfect puzzle of states of everyone. the old memories, the need of solitude, the joy of the others as dangerous attack to the precious silence. and the metamorphose in front of the family spirit. the film is a nice trip in the heart of childhood. this is all. and the motif to see again and again not only in the period of Christmas but in each time when you become more than lonely. the details, the spirit of a small community, the flavor of innocence and the Grinch who redefines the image of evil are good points who does this film adorable.
