How some people seem not to like this movie is amazing. This movie for
me shows Jim Carrey at his best, his acting as the Grinch was flawless, I
actually believed that this man hates holidays. The movie didn't play it close
to the book it was adapted from, which to me was the high note for this movie.
Based on Dr. Seuss' How the Grinch Stole Christmas and to me a
better adaptation than the first (and only other adaptation before this) 1956
Christmas TV movie.
The plot goes, after a horrible childhood, we have up in the mountains
someone known as the Grinch. The Grinch (Jim Carrey) was mean, cruel and very
much unlikable. What he hates most is the holidays. He has a stern dislike for
the Christmas season and if possible he would rather torture himself than
experience it.
In Whosville, the town he lives in, the people have decided to make this
year’s Christmas celebration the best and the most outstanding. He found this
out and decided to do all he can to make sure this never happens.
His plan to end this was to find a way to steal from the town and
instead of happiness and cheer all around the town on Christmas day, there
would be gloom. His plan involved him dressing up as Santa Claus and instead of
giving presents away, he planned on taking them all.
Everything he planned on doing would have been perfect and even his
heart would have been fine with its present size, but she came around. The she
was Cindy Lou Who, a little girl who wanted very much to give back to the
Grinch for saving her life in the beginning of the movie.
The movie is the second highest-grossing holiday film of all time with
over $345 million, only behind Home Alone. It was directed by Ron Howard
who was responsible for Apollo 13 (1995), A Beautiful Mind (2001)
and The Da Vinci Code (2006).
It won the Oscars for Best Makeup and was also nominated for Best Art
Direction and Best Costume Design. Jim Carrey, for his part, won the MTV Movie
Awards and Kids' Choice Awards for his performance as the Grinch.
Here is a movie you can see every Christmas, just along with Home
Alone. Jim Carrey was in a class of his own in this movie. Although every
other cast in this movie was a little lost to me, that doesn't matter and will
not matter to you when you do see this movie.
