All the Who's love Christmas, yet just outside of their beloved Whoville lives the Grinch.

Tagline(s):

You're a mean one, Mr. Grinch!

He puts the mean in green.

All Whos beware: He's mean and green!

Writer(s): Dr. Seuss(Book); Jeffrey Price; Peter S. Seaman

Producer(s): Linda Fields; Brian Grazer; Todd Hallowell; Ron Howard; Aldric La'Auli Porter; Louisa Velis; David Womark

Director(s): Ron Howard

Runtime: 104 minutes

Rating 9 1/29 1/2 9 1/2out of 10

Rated PG for some crude humor.

Notes:

Jim Carrey gives a remarkable performance. The facial expressions are marvelous! Sure to be a Christmas classic enjoyed by many for years to come. The sets are amazing. The only reason I didn't give it a 5 is because I felt that there were some boring scenes, for instance the musical scenes. It just didn't fit!

Bottom Line: Take my word for it and BUY it before you rent it!
