the part of the grinch be make for jim carrey and i be extremely impressed with his performance . not be a great fan of his i be apprehensive but pleasantly surprise with the outcome . taylor momsen a cindy lou who be the cut little girl i have see on the screen for a long time and she show a maturity beyond her year in her acting skill . i be even draw to tear at one point . i have never read the dr seuss book of the tale so i didnt know what to expect and the humour be quite dark . overall and i enjoy the film ( apart from the song . ) and would recommend it and for family view especially .
