Dr Seuss': How The Grinch Stole Christmas

The curmudgeonly recluse Grinch, who hates Christmas, becomes annoyed with the out-of-control Christmas festivities in Whoville, the town lying below his cave dwelling on Mt. Crumpit. But after the Grinch conspires to deprive the Who's of their favorite holiday by sneaking into town on Christmas eve to steal everything associated with the holiday, he learns that the spirit of Christmas goes much deeper than tinsel and toys.

Festive family comedy directed by Ron Howard. The Grinch (Jim Carrey) is a grouchy green monster who lives high up on a mountain overlooking the town of Whoville. The Grinch hates happiness, hates merriment, and most of all, hates Christmas. So one year, as the festive season approaches, he decides that enough is enough and draws up plans to steal all of the decorations and presents from the poor, unsuspecting citizens below. Does this mean the residents of Whoville won't be celebrating this year? Not if little Cindy Lou (Taylor Momsen) has anything to do with it.

Critic Reviews:

• " Live-action version of classic has some crude, scary moments. " – Nell Minow

• " It's sweet enough for the very young, edgy enough for teens, and world/pop culture savvy enough for adults. " – Glen Oliver

• " Parents can relax: Ron Howard's version of Dr. Seuss' tale of the Christmas-napping Grinch is a smartly stylized hoot. " – Steve Simels
