How the Grinch Stole Christmas movie stills
Reviews provided by RottenTomatoes
Susan Stark, Detroit News: Dr. Seuss' How the Grinch Stole Christmas means to amaze, beguile, delight. And it will. Read more
Philip Wuntch, Dallas Morning News: Nobody wants to leave Grinch feeling grouchy. And probably nobody will. Read more
Stephen Holden, New York Times: Shrill, overstuffed, spiritless cinematic contraption. Read more
Lisa Alspector, Chicago Reader: 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. Read more
David Edelstein, Slate: 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. Read more
Steve Murray, Atlanta Journal-Constitution: It's the rare holiday movie that manages to entertain the kid in all of us, without forgetting that grownups love the Grinch, too. Read more
Kenneth Turan, Los Angeles Times: Dr. Seuss' How the Grinch Stole Christmas is one overstuffed movie, but it's by no means a turkey. Read more
Paul Clinton (CNN.com), CNN.com: If you have little moviegoers around for the holidays, you should still make the trip to Whovillie. Read more
Steven Rosen, Denver Post: Should be more heartfelt and touching than it is. Read more
Owen Gleiberman, Entertainment Weekly: This is Jim Carrey's show, and he just about wraps the movie around his spindly green middle finger. Read more
Rick Groen, Globe and Mail: How the Grinch stole Christmas is one kind of larceny. How Jim Carrey steals the picture is another matter entirely. Read more
Eric Harrison, Houston Chronicle: Generally delightful live-action adaptation of the children's classic. Read more
James Berardinelli, ReelViews: Carrey enables Ron Howard's version of the classic story to come across as more of a welcome endeavor than a pointless re-tread. Read more
Roger Ebert, Chicago Sun-Times: I think a lot of children are going to look at this movie with perplexity and distaste. Read more
Peter Stack, San Francisco Chronicle: Overall, the film sparkles. But it's a curiously unaffecting sparkle. Read more
Peter Howell, Toronto Star: This Grinch isn't so bad. It's quite merry. Very! Read more
Time Out: This cinematic candy floss honours the Seussian universe by satirising our own. And Carrey's comic tornado of a performance is a triumph. Read more
J. Hoberman, Village Voice: Perhaps 20 minutes too long and subject to torpor. Read more
Desson Thomson, Washington Post: It's not Christmas that's being stolen here. It's the spirit of Dr. Seuss. Read more
