how the grinch stole christmas be a wonderful little christmas cartoon that anyone could easily enjoy and i never do see the reason for a remake . not to mention a remake that be make with human and the cartoon be just perfect enough and what the purpose of this film . but it also seem a little odd for jim carrey to be the grinch . i mean he a great comedic actor and but him a the grinch . it just do not make any sense to me . his performance be a little over the top and unintentionally laughable at moment . not to mention some of the added dialog be a bit childish and not enjoyable . the whole story of the grinch and cindy lou who be over do and wasn not need . they actually just destroy the story and period . all the who in whoville be get ready for their best christmas season yet where everything be intend to go perfectly . but cindy lou who be curious and worried about the grinch that live above them and that he not go to get a good of a christmas a the other who . he kick her out and decide that he doesn not want christmas this year and that in fact he should just steal christmas all together to show the who what his version of christmas be all about . but soon he realize that the who may know that it a little bit more than what be the materialized version of christmas . how the grinch stole christmas wasn not need and be a bit over the top . i really recommend that you stick with the cartoon just for the simple fact that this be a pretty disturbing version and at least in my opinion . the make up and presentation of the whole film be just a bit over do and not to mention that how the grinch stole christmas . be more meant to be a a cartoon rather than a version star jim carry . but at least this version make you grateful for the boris karloff version that be play every christmas . negative .
