Top Critics Reviews
rotten:
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.

rotten:
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.

rotten:
Shrill, strenuous and entirely without charm.

fresh:
How the Grinch stole Christmas is one kind of larceny. How Jim Carrey steals the picture is another matter entirely.

rotten:
Perhaps 20 minutes too long and subject to torpor.
