Dr. Seuss' How the Grinch Stole Christmas : 2 of 5

Before I comment on this movie, you first need to know that I revere Dr. Seuss (Mom used Dr. Seuss books to teach me to read, and I still collect them) and that I hate Jim Carrey. That said, this film is just okay. I was most worried that they would destroy the story and that Carrey would Ventura-ize the Grinch. The good news is that the story additions are just fine (and even narrated well by Anthony Hopkins). The bad news is the Grinch is just like every other Jim Carrey character - Jim Carrey is the Kevin Costner of comedy! Sheesh. The same stupid voice, stupid slapstick, stupid exaggerated motions - the only thing missing was a talking asshole. Anyway, Cindy Lou Who is adorable, so the film is at least passable.
