How The Grinch Stole Christmas

Original review by Top 100 Christmas Movies · Independent & ad-free

2000 - PG - 104 MINS - COMEDY

Top cast: Jim Carrey

In a nutshell

In this live-action version of the classic, on the outskirts of Whoville lives a green revenge-seeking Grinch who plans to ruin Christmas for all the citizens in town.

Our review

Does not have the warmth of the animated short, but Carrey's performance keeps this adaption whimsical and entertaining. If your heart does not grow larger after watching this, I don’t know what will.
