Totally unnecessary. Ron Howard just wanted to direct a movie he liked as a kid. One thing though, Ron: someone already made it.

Weak, overblown and charmless, there's so little of the original Seuss heart in this that it's difficult to view it in any sort of positive light (although, unsurprisingly, Hopkins's narration is a definite plus). For the love of all that is Christmas, either watch the Chuck Jones version or just sit down with your family and read the book.

No reason to remake something that was perfect as it was.

The book is always better.

I know it is not right to give points for a good song of a film nor the Christmas atmosphere, but the song is very good... while the atmosphere comes from our family and Carrey is better with a white skin in a serious movie.

Almost too dark for children, but not good enough for adults. They went for the in between age and failed, it didnt speak to its audiences, it didnt re live the classic story as it should have. No christmassey chear was left in you at the end. The Grinch was always my fave christmas story because it wasnt sappy or happy and it was dark and he was an outcast, much like Rudolph just 10 times darker. Even Carrey couldnt manage to add depth to this character. A sloppy film

A very enjoyable Christmas film that simply put wouldn't be the same if it wasn't for Jim Carrey breathing life into the character of 'The Grinch'. While it's aimed at the kids it's still rather enjoyable for adults to watch as well, with a clever storyline and likeable cast and characters. Taylor Momsen is also a total cutie-pie (before she turned trashy on 'Gossip Girl'). Overall it's the perfect Christmas movie to get you in the holiday mood, and one of my favourite Christmas movies.
