In my opinion, Dr. Suess greatest story ever told goes to the big screen. Who would of thought it would be such a success!!

Inside a snowflake, like the one on your sleeve - There lies the greatest fictional Christmas story to be re-created as an outstanding film. Whoville, were everyone loves Christmas. Except the Grinch (Jim Carrey) who hates Christmas, partly due to a bad childhood experience. But with the help of Cindy Lou Who, she can discover what Christmas is really about and bring everyone together for this special holiday, including the Grinch.

If you haven't already figured it out, I really like this film. Its something special and has a warm story to it. Hats off to Jeffrey Price who turned a short story into a magical hour and a half long movie. The direction was amazing and Ron Howard knew this film could be something memorable, allot of his family had roles in it and he dedicated it to his mom. I don't think The Cat in The Hat will beat this film.

This is my favourite film that stared Jim Carrey, It looked like he enjoyed himself making it to. The scenery has some of the best I've seen and the graphics were good, but noticeable. Defiantly the best makeup I have seen too. It really looked like skin! The music wasn't bad. The score wasn't really memorable but Faith Hill's theme was amazing.
Bad Points? Well Clint and Jeremy Howard can't act to put it bluntly and more jokes could of been added. All in all a 9.6 out of 10.
Acting 8 - Story 10 - Direction 9 - Music 8 - Overall 9

Go get this for your kids, NOW!
