The grinch is entertaining and fun - Dr. Seuss' How the Grinch Stole Christmas Reviews

As the first live-action movie to be based on a Dr. Seuss book, The Grinch makes a good start. Jim Carrey as the Grinch, Jeffery Tambor as the mayor of Who-Ville, and Taylor Momsen as Cindy Lou-Who are some of the right actors they chose for the right roles. They have some added features that weren't in the book, but remember that if they had not put any in, the movie would have been around twelve minutes long. The story is about a city on a snowflake called Who-Ville. The Grinch lives above it on a mountain, and really cannot stand anything about the Whos (they abandonned him when he was young), but he especially hates Christmas. He tries every way to get rid of Christmas, but his ways never work. Then the Grinch comes up with a Dr. Seussy way to get rid of Christmas- steal it. He dresses as Santa Claus and steals all of the trees, presents, and decorations of Who-Ville. But in the end, the Grinch finds out that this isn't what Christmas is about. The movie suceeds in keeping the Christmas spirit, Dr. Seuss' story, and the Grinch's sneaky grin behind it all. This movie is slick, humorous, and lovable. To all who worked on this movie, great work.
