THE PLOT:
Everyone in Whoville, the tall and the small liked Christmas allot, but the Grinch who lived on the top of Mt. Crumpet did
not. The beloved Dr. Seuss tale comes alive as the Grinch comes that fateful Christmas Eve night to steal Christmas from
the town who riducled him and drove him away. But can one smunky little girl give him back what he lost so many years ago?
Or will Christmas be destroyed by the Grinch?
THE OPINION:
I liked what they did with this classic piece of children's litature. It expands on why the Grinch hated Christmas and why
his heart was so small. After all hearts grow cold they aren't born cold. But this may not be for everyone, it is centered
for kids and all adults may not like it.
I GIVE IT (9 STARS)
ON THE POSITVE SIDE (+HITS)
+ GRINCH SUIT (I live the Grinch costume, it's a perfect match to the animated special starting Boris Karloff)
+ HISTORY (The history of the Grinch and the Who's added depth to the character of the Grinch and made him even more likable)
+ NEW CHARACTERS (The book was alittle thin on Characters, so I liked the addition of the evil Mayor, his fluncky and all
the other new characters)
+ FUNNY (This is a really, really funny movie.)
+ TOUCHING (There is some truely touching moments in this film)
And Finally:
ON THE NEGATIVE SIDE (- MISSES)
- NOT FOR EVERYONE (If you don't like cutsy monsters then you will not like the Grinch)
