Product Details of How the Grinch Stole Christmas [DVD] [WS; Collector's Edition; DVD/CD]

Description

Director Ron Howard casts comedian Jim Carrey in the title role in this live-action adaptation of the famous Christmas tale by Dr. Seuss, giving this rendition of HOW THE GRINCH STOLE CHRISTMAS a delightfully manic spin. Carrey is virtually unrecognizable in his elaborate green makeup, but his anarchic comic touch is unmistakable. He manages to fully embody the grumpy title character, while still supplying his own comedic touches, and it is his performance that makes the film a treat for adults and children alike. The candy-colored set design for the town of Whoville and the jubilant score contribute to the overall feeling of innocuous fantasy that the Grinch disrupts with his dastardly deeds. The familiar story of the Grinch stealing every present in town on Christmas Eve has been expanded to incorporate flashbacks to the Grinch's childhood, which serve to explain his hostility toward the Whos. As Cindy Lou-Who, a little girl so sweet she sees goodness even in the Grinch, young Taylor Momsen strikes just the right note of adorable ingenuousness. Howard gets the performance the film needs from her, as her character makes the Grinch's eventual change of heart both believable and touching.

Jim Carrey

After 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...

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...

I give this movie a 3. The cartoon version is much better. Jim Carrey, however, has a few funny moments with his one-liners.

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...
