Yar, you be here: The Grinch (Interactive Playset & Full Screen DVD) > Customer Reviews The Grinch (Interactive Playset & Full Screen DVD) Customer Reviews (1 - 3 of 44 Reviews)Great! But could have been better...
I saw this movie in theaters and I did not know what to think of it. The cinematography and the sets were absolutely amazing, and the two dimensional world of Dr. Seuss so effectively brought to life visually was stunning. But despite the beauty of the setting, there are a few details that do muddle this movie. Although Jim Carrey as the Grinch is outrageously funny (The presents! They'll all be destroyed! AND I CARE! What's the Deal?) some of the humor goes a bit too far and eventually stops being funny. Had Ron Howard used restraint on the crudeness and pushed the emotion and story forward a bit, you would have a wonderful heart-warming retelling of the classic story that does have a few hilarious moments that are truly hilarious and not crude or stupid. (3.5 Stars) It's not all that bad....
Really, this isn't all that bad, but it'll never live up to the cartoon. I can think of something just as worse: Lord of The Rings. Awful
This movie was trite, predictable and probably Carrey's worst over acting. Him hamming up the cardiac arrest when the Grinch's heart grew actually made me leave and go play a couple of video games in the lobby. Missed the innocent yet insightful spirit of the cartoon completely.
