How the Grinch Stole Christmas
“You better watch out!”
Certified Crap. CrapScore 53, rated by 1 admin.
Higher CrapScores mean more entertainingly bad. How we score movies.
Jim Carrey's Grinch inhabits an extravagantly fabricated Whoville and treats Christmas resentment as an opportunity for physical performance. The makeup and design deserve admiration, while the expanded story and comic flourishes give a familiar tale a much louder personality.
