[.ca] Dr. Seuss' How the Grinch Stole Christmas (Widescreen)

Additional features:
The best of the half-dozen short segments on The Grinch DVD mirrors the best part of the movie itself, namely Rick Baker's Oscar®-winning make-up. Baker and star Jim Carrey are such interesting personalities that their stories about the time-consuming process are entertaining. For the kids, Max's Playhouse has some simple games and three sing-alongs. How interesting you find the rest of the extras will depend on how much you liked the film. An unhosted segment on deleted scenes is nothing special, and the segment on how the movie extras, including members of the Cirque de Soleil, worked on their bits could have been far longer. Trying to match the movie's scale, the DVD even boasts recipes. --Doug Thomas

Loved it!:
I really liked it a lot! I watch the original cartoon every Chrsitmas and I've read the book to my little brother. This is a really cute movie I would definitly reccomend. I think the Grinch's cold hearted spirit is captured really well (until he turns good that is). Some people don't like this and feel it ruined the Grinch because it's not strictly to the book, but what do you expect? The book wasn't very long. It can be read in about five minutes more or less... Anyway I do suggest you watch this provided you aren't one of those affor mentioned people that freak out over every little thing. I do NOT reccomend the Cat in the Hat movie. I thought that movie seemed too much like Austin Powers in a cat suit to tell the truth,

So THAT'S how he stole it...:
That was Jim Carrey in that costume? I don't think anyone could have pulled it off better, but for me, Taylor Momsen, who played Cindy Loo Who, was the most enjoyable to watch. What a gifted little actress. Christine Baranski and Molly Shannon, both musically-inclined favorites of mine, also danced across the screen. So this isn't exactly the same storyline as the one penned by the good doctor himself. But it is very close, with some details added in to give adults a few more chuckles. And if you like it for nothing else, you will love the fantasy world created by some outstanding set and costume design; terrific old and new music; and vivid special effects. Worth a viewing or two for all of you Who's.

Did these people even read the BOOK????:
What a terrible movie! How could you possibly ruin such a classic Dr. Seuss book? Dr. Seuss is one of my favorite authors (no kidding, the books are for much younger readers than me...but I own every Dr. Seuss book, anyway.) It drives me crazy that Dr. Seuss' wife let them PRODUCE this rot! If I were her I reject them and I might even (as Dr. Seuss said on DR. SEUSS GOES TO WAR) smack them in the snoot! I even didn't watch the whole thing, I left as soon as I could. Unless the ending was about sixty times better than everything prior to that, it was one of the worst movies I've ever watched! Jim Carrey DID do a good job, but he can't save a movie like THAT! And did we really have to go into his long, boring and disturbing childhood? It tells us WHY he hates Christmas, whereas in the book no one quite no the reason why he hated it. (And don't even get me started on how much I hate THE CAT IN THE HAT with Mike Myers (who, by the way, can't act)! Not to say I don't like the animated TV Special THE GRINCH WHO STOLE CHRISTMAS. That was maybe better than the book was. Although, what could you expect from a master like Chuck Jones who actually KNEW what he was doing! That movie at least 1000 times better than this! And one of the best parts of the book was "Maybe Christmas DOESN'T come from a store, maybe Christmas perhaps, means a little bit more." But how can you believe THAT on THE GRINCH, the vulgar movie that was merchandised to the BONE!!!!! After watching this film, you realize: The Grinch didn't steal Christmas...but the directors RUINED Christmas!

Suprised.:
I can't believe I liked this movie. I hate Jim Carrey. He was nothing like he is in his other movies. This movie is great. I love how they added more to the story than the original cartoon version. A must own.

Puttin' on the Seuss:
Many kids Enjoy Christmas They like it a lot And this film Is about the Grinch Who did not The film gives the background, and fills in some blanks The Grinch as a child was subjected to pranks He fancied a Who, with the name Martha May He tried to impress her and to his dismay They laughed at his efforts, his gift and his face So he destroyed the classroom and fled from that place Then, He moved to Mount Crumpet And made him a home While the green hairy creature seethed under the dome Until one cold day at the town Christmas party When young Cindy Lou showed him how to be hearty Then Mayor May-Who went and spoiled all the fun By taunting the Grinch 'til he came all undone He went up his mountain, and he started scheming And when he was through he was smiling and beaming He'd ruin their Christmas; he knew what to do Revenge is the sweetest when it's overdue If you've read the story you know how it ends How the Grinch stole that Christmas from his former friends So what happened next? I won't give it away This Christmas this movie will show every day So if you're a Grinch you can run, but not hide As you try to stifle the feeling inside Just gather the kids for a clean yuletide treat Merry Christmas to all!
