		Foster on Film - Christmas: How the Grinch Stole Christmas
		Half the film appears ad-libbed, which could have been acceptable had the ad-libs been in character, funny, and even a fraction as witty as the book's dialog, but they are none of those things.
		How the Grinch Stole Christmas isn't just a horrid Christmas film, but is one of the ten worst films ever made.

		She believes that in his heart, the Grinch is as good as anyone and she is determined to show the Grinch - and the people of Whoville - that the Grinch really is one of them and belongs in their midst.
		But even beside the Grinch’s immediate antics, director Ron Howard managed to create a small world that is rich, filling in details and information that were not part of the original story, but feel homogenous in the overall context.
		Faith Hill’s beautiful "Where Are You Christmas?" music video is also part of the release, and I have to admit I was amazed at the clarity and sharpness in which this letterboxed music video presents itself.

	How the Grinch Stole Christmas
		The sick irony in quoting Dr. Seuss to review the newest version of How the Grinch Stole Christmas is that there may not be a better or more accurate description for this movie.
		The new live-action movie tells the story of how the Grinch came to be and why he hates the Who's down in Whoville -- and Christmas -- so much.
		What made the animated Grinch so endearing were the things he didn't say, the expressions he wore and the great internal change that transformed him before our eyes.

	How The Grinch Stole Christmas . . . and My Heart
		Yet, the Grinch taught me a valuable lesson, at an early age, that Christmas was not about the most presents I could get, but the amount of love I carry in my heart and about giving it to others.
		Grinch" and "Welcome Christmas" (composed by Albert Hague, lyrics by Dr. Seuss and vocals by Thurl Ravenscroft), as well as the Grinch's celebrated sleigh ride and by developing the part of his devoted canine friend Max, who was originally a minor character.
		After ransacking Whoville and stealing every bit of Christmas, the Grinch's tender moment happens when he realizes it is not about the noise, or the tree trimmings, or the "roast beast" feast, not even the blissful singing.

	Dr. Seuss' How The Grinch Stole Christmas
		Way back then, the Grinch became a sustained Christmas icon and Carrey and crew have reinvented the creature whose heart "grew three times that day." The best moments on the screen are when the Grinch is giving his mordant soliloquies to no one save his faithful dog, Max.
		Those things that are invented specifically for the film - Who society, the flashback story on how the Grinch became the lonely creature he is - do not have the same imagination as the original Dr. Seuss work and it shows.
		Anthony Hopkins was chosen to narrate the film, perhaps to recall the English accent of Boris Karloff from the vastly superior original animation, a move the filmmakers should have avoided.

		Grinch" song is reduced to a pale shadow of the original.
		Although many of the shots from the cartoon are reproduced verbatim (such as the Grinch skittering across the floor on the tips of his fingers and toes, and his plucking the sugar plums from the Whos' dreams), there are just enough scenes missing to render the sequence a disappointment.
		Overall, the film is a bit of a letdown after such a tremendous publicity buildup, but it has enough laughs to be enjoyable in its own right.

		Grinch” is a disaster, but the montage of him creating various evil devices are pretty cool despite the song.
		Although he didn’t seem to affect many of the kids at my screening of the film, this Grinch would have scared the crap out of me if I were a little kid (my fear of the Hamburglar almost turned me into a child vegetarian).

		Taylor Momsen as Cindy Lou Who as the girl who believes the Grinch is good despite what everyone says is fine as earnest little girls go, but really they should have deleted her singing scene.
		Her rendition of "Where are you, Christmas?" made me ask where my earmuffs where and what the quickest route to the top of the Grinch’s garbage dump was.
		There are a few genuinely funny scenes, such as Cindy Lou trying to convince Grinch to come down for the Cheermeister and his reasons for not doing so given his busy schedule (which includes wallowing in self pity, staring at the abyss, and jazzercize).

	DR. SEUSS' HOW THE GRINCH STOLE CHRISTMAS - DVDs
		The Ron Howard film version of the perennial children's favourite has horror movie limbs that spring up independently of Seussian intent, the most extended of them going by the name of Jim Carrey, who wants to be the only Grinch remembered and marks his territory with piss and vinegar.
		There is an early scene in which Carrey's Grinch reclines in a chair and considers his next move: it goes on about a second longer than it should, and that superfluous space feels like an eternity of hemming and hawing from the filmmakers.
		Seuss' How The Grinch Stole Christmas is disturbing in its cynicism: Internet gossipers didn't think Opie was up to the task of achieving a suitable malevolence and Ron Howard reacted, if I may armchair psychoanalyze, from the core of his manhood.

		We all know the story: a mean, tiny-hearted green creature known as the Grinch hatches a plan to steal Christmas away from the inhabitants of Whoville.

		The second is to have a romantic triangle forming between the Grinch, the mayor of Whoville (Jeffrey Tambor) and socialite Mary May Who-vier (Christine Baranski) that goes nowhere fast.

	Filmtracks: How the Grinch Stole Christmas (James Horner)
		With these additional revelations about the past of the Grinch, audiences get a better idea as to why he would be motivated to sneak down off his mountain of garbage and steal all the Christmas presents and decorations on the eve of the holiday.
		One of the main attractions of the film was the title performance by Jim Carrey, which was strangely wasted by the amount of makeup placed on him to mirror the drawn version of the character.
		Horner's primary two themes for the film, the first of which is the simplistic title theme adapted into the cast and Faith Hill songs, receive significant attention in the latter half of the score.

	How the Grinch Stole Christmas
		How the Grinch Stole Christmas unavoidably becomes a Jim Carrey vehicle, a cluttered stage upon which he can prance, pout, preen, and gnaw large holes through the scenery, inexhaustible and, finally, exhausting.
		So we get an awkward sequence in which the Grinch is elected the town's Cheermeister, which, like most of the scenes, has no beginning or end; it just arrives, putters around, and peters out.
		How the Grinch Stole Christmas is a garish rummage sale, in which Hollywood's great Tasmanian Devil Jim Carrey must suffer the ultimate indignity: not the painful latex, not the crude slapstick, but the plot that requires him to learn to feel.

	How the Grinch Stole Christmas movie review (Site not responding. Last check: )
		The film adds to the 22 minute 1966 cartoon by illustrating the events that led to the Grinch (Jim Carrey) becoming the Scrooge of Whoville, weaving a political/romantic web involving the town's mayor.
		Besides his trademark crazy antics, the most amazing thing he does in the film is actually mimic the faces made in the cartoon version.
		This film's commercial nature is bit incongruous given its message but that doesn't mean one can't compartmentalise.
