the costume and make up be grand and there be some exceptionally funny line and and the role be make for jim carrey . carrey do as good a job a could be do give the rather disappointing script write . sure this be mostly a movie for kid and but if you be go to spend this much money make a movie you really ought to at least give the story enough body to go beyond that of dr seuss . i expect more from ron howard . it worth a see and but it lack the necessary quality to become a major classic and by any measure .
