Rated
for mild crude
humor and some double entendres
Notes:
What the hell? This movie really surpised me. Especially since it has to try to live up to The Grinch. Don't get me wrong I really like Mike Myers but, this movie really sucked!!!!!!!! Although I LOVE the way they recreated Dr. Seuss' imagination. It probably would have been better if it was made by the same people as The Grinch. You really have to like Mike Myers to like the movie.
Bottom Line:I would have to say to RENT it before you buy it, unless you like Mike Myers. Then, you should probably buy it.
