"Now you listen to me, young lady! Even if we're horribly mangled... there'll be no sad faces on Christmas." - Grinch, to Cindy Lou Who

Why watch this? The merging of Jim Carrey into Grinch is absolutely PERFECT!

Plot Summary: On the outskirts of the cheerful town of Whoville lives the Grinch, a grumpy green creature who despises Christmas and all its festivities. Determined to put an end to the holiday, the Grinch devises a mischievous plan to steal everything Christmas-related from the Whos. However, a young Who named Cindy Lou Who crosses paths with the green-meanie and attempts to understand why he hates Christmas so much.

Dad's Preview: This is a zany, live-action re-telling of the Grinch story. First, the world creation of Dr. Suess' winter wonderland is first class, including incredible sets and the best make-up on film - for the entire cast. We witness the Grinch's origin story, which helps us see why he's so grumpy about the Who's jingly holiday in the first place. Taylor Momsen's performance, as the adorable Cindy Lou, matches Carey's hilarious antics. This is an instant laugh-out-loud holiday classic.
