Synopsis
The cranky Christmas classic from Dr. Seuss is getting an update, courtesy of the producers behind the Despicable Me franchise. Benedict Cumberbatch voices the big green mean one himself, who lives in self-sufficient solitude up on Mt. Crumpet with his dog Max. From his cave, the Grinch conspires to silence the holiday celebrations of his neighbors down in Who-ville… by dressing up as Santa Claus and stealing their Christmas cheer. Of course, he doesn’t realize that one of those unsuspecting neighbors is a little girl named Cindy-Lou Who, and she’s hatching her own scheme: to personally meet Santa Claus. By, you know, trapping him. It's save to say these schemers are on a collision course. After all, nothing says "Christmas" quite like the intersection of naughty and nice, right?

why is everyone rating this so low? y’all just hate fun
rachNov 7, 2018This critic hated “The Grinch” for almost its entire duration, he sighed and he cried and he dreamed of vacation. It could be his head wasn’t screwed on just right. It could be, perhaps, the midterm polls were too tight. But it seems the most likely reason of all, may…

Pharrell Williams staggers out of the narration booth, gasping for a drink. "Please, I can't do this anymore, let my wife and kids go..." Illumination Entertainment at first decline the musician's requests, however looking at Pharrell's shriveled vocal cords, maybe it…
JayNov 19, 2021Here me out... Wouldn't the Ginch be more successful if he only took the presents from half the houses. That way instead of all the Who's singing together in a unifying sadness, he would have divided them into the haves vs the have nots. Those who have the presents feel…

Obviously it doesn't beat Jim Carrey's grinch, but it's a good adaptation.
Bianca lovedThe GrinchI love this grinch movie the Jim Carrey will always be a fan favorite but I love the feeling, the imagery and the portrayal of these characters. The animators did an amazing job with the characters and small details.
lou lovedThe GrinchI need an Option between like and love, because this is better than many others I’ve liked, but it’s not a love yk???

Super funny, love it
Obihulk lovedThe GrinchNote it’s not as great as Jim Carrey’s version but it’s very wholesome. It doesn’t really deserve the hate that it got. Its a good Christmas movie. I definitely enjoyed it, I hope everyone else does too.
Blaze Carlton likedThe GrinchNormally remakes don’t turnout good especially when Jim Carry did an amazing job. Love the animation, this was overall enjoyable to watch. 7/10

beautiful animation and movie altogether
FWFrances WangGreat family movie. Good movie to kick off the holidays.
RLRichard LatourMuch better than I ever expected and the musical score by Danny Elfman was top notch. I though the film makers did a great job of retelling a semi-stale story and they included just enough fresh material to keep it entertaining. Highly recommended for a family with just…

It has a great meaning! Especially with all this negativity in this world. I think everyone should go see this.
JMJanay McClintonThe original is way better and at times it felt like the plot was slow to take off and develop. It was cute and had its funny moments.
ABAdam BowensThis was an amazing movie! Loved it, my daughters loved it, great great movie!

From time to time you’ll laugh and maybe shed a tear But this isn’t the kind of “Grinch” you’ll want to see each year.

Credit goes to the film’s visual effects folk, who made fur alive and gave texture to smoke. But retreading this story with a Cumberbatch, should send Hollywood bigwigs into the booby hatch.

With its charming character animation and inventive art direction, The Grinch is a vast improvement over Ron Howard’s live-action adaptation of the same story.
