Author's Review

I am an avid Christmas season lover. I adore everything that has to do with the holidays - the lights, the carol singing, the presents, and most importantly: the holiday movies. All my favorite movies have to do with Christmas: Home Alone, A Christmas Story, Christmas Vacation, etc. And now I have a new one to add to my list: Dr. Seuss' How The Grinch Stole Christmas.

Now, you probably have read the story, and seen the original cartoon, but seeing this new live-action Grinch is a totally new experience. Little Ronnie, ahem, I mean Ron Howard really brought this movie to life, with vivid colors, and lively scenery. You feel as though you belong in Whoville, and you're joining in on the holiday spirit.

In the beginning of the movie, you're introduced to the wonderful, happy town of Whoville, where all the Who's are joyfully preparing for their favorite time of year - Christmas. Cindy Lou Who is a child who is feeling differently than everyone else. She doesn't understand the true meaning of the holidays, and she's feeling sad and confused. Cue The Grinch. Mr. I-Hate-Christmas Grinch, only accompanied by his loyal dog, Max, is up on his mountain listing all the Who's he hates (all of them). He decided to reek some havoc by going down to Whoville and having a little fun.

Disguised in a mask and cloak, The Grinch heads to the post office to switch some packages around. He runs into the frightened Cindy Lou, who falls in the "sorter", and The Grinch, even with his heart two sizes too small, rescues the sugary sweet little girl. After "making up for it" by wrapping her in gift paper, The Grinch heads back to his cave, unhappy and confused. Cindy Lou Who is determined to help The Grinch and figure out what really his problem is.

I hate giving away plots, so I won't go any further into that. I was disappointed by the reviews these so-called critics gave to The Grinch. They look way too deep into this lighthearted flick, and by doing that they miss the whole magic of the movie. Who cares if it's not exactly like the original? That's why the original is called the original!

Jim Carrey does a stellar job as The Grinch. He's so believable, and even though you can barely tell who's under all that makeup, it's definitely Jim who makes this movie. No other actor could've pulled it off. His wicked, crooked grin made me giggle every time I saw it.

I was surprised when I walked into the theater - people of all ages were there. Everyone from ages 7 to 100 will enjoy this movie because it's made for everyone. There is obvious comedy for the youngsters, and more subtle jokes for the older crowd. And everyone will love his dog, Max, who is the cutest doggie-actor I've ever seen. The only thing I was a little mad about was with the little kids in the theater; I heard running commentary coming at me from all directions at all times. But I should've expected that because I went to an early show.

My favorite part is when they show baby Grinch and child Grinch. That little hairy boy melted my heart and brought a tear to my eye. And who knew that when he grew up he would show the Who's the real meaning of Christmas!

This movie is laugh-out-loud funny. But before you begin watching, have an open mind. Don't critique every part of every scene. Enjoy the magic and get into the holiday spirit! It's the Who way!
