Dr. Seuss’ How The Grinch Stole Christmas

All of us know the classic story of Dr. Seuss about the Grinch, a green meanie, who wants to stop Christmas from coming to his local neighbor’s, the Who’s. This film version of Ron Howard’s who’s main actor rubber faceman Jim Carrey simply act the role of the story and adds a bit more to it (to fill the extra hour and twenty minutes of running time compared to the original cartoon version’s of only 25 minutes).

I always wondered why did the Grinch don’t like the Who’s so much and what made him dislike Christmas? These questions are well answered with some well imagined backstory of the Grinch as a child who actually grew up among the Who’s, but being ridiculed and was made fun of for his strange look and unique behavior. It seems that the Green one became interested in a young girl that another boy also liked who eventually later became the Mayor of Whoville. The film evens goes on to have Cindy Lou Who to question her family’s values of what really Christmas is all about …buying stuff? …presents? ..is that’s all it’s about?…then she wonders what’s more. It is she who realizes the good in the Green Grinch and crusades for him to be the new head chairmeister of one’s of the Who celebrations.

I’m not sure what other people were really expecting about the movie compared to the cartoon version, but this is pretty much what I thought the movie should and would be like. The movie location and costumes are amazing. And Jim Carrey portray the chacracter very well…Well, I personally believe that Jim Carrey is great in everything he does and doesn’t recieve enough credibilty by critics and certain moviegoers mainly because of where he came from (like Ace Ventura and Pet Detective). Anyways, I will still of course watch the cartoon version, but this DVD version will also find plenty of time in my DVD player as well!
