Watch How the Grinch Stole Christmas Movie Online No Survey He's mean, he's green, and he's doesn't like the Yuletide season one bit -- Jim Carrey stars in this live-action adaptation of the classic children's story by Dr. Seuss (aka Theodore Geisel). High atop Mt. Crumpet, the Grinch (Carrey) observes the residents of Whoville joyously preparing to celebrate Christmas. The Grinch was born in Whoville years ago, but was shunned due to his scary appearance, and his unrequited love for Martha May Whovier has turned him bitter; the good cheer of the Whos has been a thorn in his side ever since. Finally the Grinch decides he's had enough of all this happiness, and with the wary aid of his dog Max, the Grinch conspires to steal Christmas from Whoville, making off with their presents, holiday decorations, Christmas trees, and everything else used to enjoy the holiday. Molly Shannon, Christine Baranski, Jeffrey Tambor, and Clint Howard play several of the citizens of Whoville, while Anthony Hopkins narrates (taking over from the late Boris Karloff, who memorably read Dr. Seuss' story in Chuck Jones' 1966 animated adaptation of the story). Ron Howard directs. ~ Mark Deming, Rovi Release Date How the Grinch Stole Christmas Nov 17, 2000 Wide

Review For How the Grinch Stole Christmas
Five-year-olds might go for it, but people who grew up with Jones' version will be looking at their watches and grinding their teeth. David Edelstein-Slate Cloying fancy gives way to gross-out comedy, twisted social commentary, affecting pathos, and weirdly sexualized romance in this lurid live-action version of the classic children's book. Lisa Alspector-Chicago Reader Shrill, strenuous and entirely without charm. Todd McCarthy-Variety How the Grinch stole Christmas is one kind of larceny. How Jim Carrey steals the picture is another matter entirely. Rick Groen-Globe and Mail Perhaps 20 minutes too long and subject to torpor. J. Hoberman-Village Voice Less entertaining, less enlightening and less educational than either the book or the video. Joel Siegel-Good Morning America Live-action version of classic has some crude, scary moments. Nell Minow-Common Sense Media An unforgivable transgression from the usually reliable Ron Howard, "Grinch" boasts the visual polish of a Menards tree aisle and resembles not a cheerful Christmas, but rather what the bloodcurdling onset of a mescaline bender might feel like. Nick Rogers-Suite101.com Howard and the rest of the crew do something the late Dr. Seuss never would: take chronological age over the youthful, innocent spirit that lingers untouched in everyone--and never goes out of style. Michael Dequina-TheMovieReport.com Parents can relax: Ron Howard's version of Dr. Seuss' tale of the Christmas-napping Grinch is a smartly stylized hoot. Steve Simels-TV Guide's Movie Guide The costumes astound, the sight gags abound, but the heart, oh the heart, now that must be found. Vera H-C Chan-Contra Costa Times ...A jumbled mess, art-directed to within an inch of its life... Rob Gonsalves-eFilmCritic.com Unfortunately, Ron Howard is the Grinch who stole Christmas from Jim Carrey. Jeffrey Overstreet-Looking Closer A holiday gift, The Grinch just may steal the hearts of kids and grown-ups alike. Thomas Delapa-Boulder Weekly This cinematic candy floss honours the Seussian universe by satirising our own. And Carrey's comic tornado of a performance is a triumph. -Time Out Universal Pictures has definitely left something under your Christmas tree, but you might want to clean it up soon before it leaves a permanent stain. Chris Gore-Film Threat In adding material, The Grinch loses much of its rhythm and the heart within it shrinks three sizes right along with it. Ryan Cracknell-Movie Views How the Grinch Stole Christmas is thick with irony but doesn't have the guts to explore any of it. Jeffrey M. Anderson-Combustible Celluloid If God is in the details, then this is the most righteous movie ever made.Jim Carrey is the only man deserving to interpret Chuck Jones' animation. Karina Montgomery-Cinerina It's funny, it's sincere and it's gloriously bizarre. Eugene Novikov-Film Blather This delightful fantasy offers Happy Who-lidays to the young and the young at heart. Susan Tavernetti-Palo Alto Weekly
