Product Description
Product Description
Discover the magic of the Mean One this holiday season! Oscar-winning director Ron Howard and Oscar-winning producer Brian Grazer bring Christmas' best-loved grump to life with the help of the irrepressible Jim Carrey as The Grinch. The Grinch is a celebration of the holiday spirit no home should be without! Why is The Grinch (Carrey) such a grouch? No one seems to know, until little Cindy Lou Who (Taylor Momsen) takes matters into her own hands and turns both Whoville and The Grinch's world upside down, inside out… and funny side up in her search for the true meaning of Christmas.
Bonus Content:
Set Contains:
The best of the half-dozen short segments on The Grinch DVD mirrors the best part of the movie itself, namely Rick Baker's Oscar®-winning make-up. Baker and star Jim Carrey are such interesting personalities that their stories about the time-consuming process are entertaining. For the kids, Max's Playhouse has some simple games and three sing-alongs. How interesting you find the rest of the extras will depend on how much you liked the film. An unhosted segment on deleted scenes is nothing special, and the segment on how the movie extras, including members of the Cirque de Soleil, worked on their bits could have been far longer. Trying to match the movie's scale, the DVD even boasts recipes. --Doug Thomas

As far as image quality this is Leaps and Bounds above the previous DVD and Blu-ray releases. Both the DVD and the Blu-ray previous releases had a fuzzy or soft effect to the image since it was on both I assumed this was normal. Apparently it wasn't because this 4K Edition is crisp and clear and the details are dazzling. The special features are carried over from previous versions, but again this sound quality and image quality is worth this upgrade. It must be said however that it is missing the scenes that were edited in for the TV version. so do not expect to get them here, They are currently not available on any home video version, including this one. So if you're familiar with the TV version of this film you will notice some scenes are missing.
My wife puts together a Christmas paper chain every December. There is one link of the chain for every day between 1 Dec and Christmas eve. We open the link for a day in the morning and sometime during that day we do a family activity. One of these that has become a family tradition is our annual "Grinch Party." Everyone dresses in green, we eat green treats, drink green soda, and watch this movie.
Jim Carrey overacts the part of the Grinch to perfection. He is completely manic and fun. While initially coming across as terrifying he is the proverbial monster with a heart of gold, well, maybe tin, but some kind of metal. He is completely hilarious, and the quotable quotes never stop!
Though we watch the movie only once a year, it's quoted year-round.
The story line, the costumes, sets, caste, are all absolutely top-notch!
In my opinion this is not just a movie to be watched, it's an event. Make watching this movie an event at your place!
And though I would not say that if you are going to watch only one movie during the Christmas season that this should be it, what I WILL say is that you should make this a fun part of your Christmas season.
5 stars through and through! Christmas is coming....
Showing the Grinch as a somewhat psychotic, eccentric loner who has a good reason for HATING the Whos.
Giving us a peek into the perspective of said Whos, turns out they don't like him either!
The Christmas obsessed Whos are driving him crazy with their supposed love of giving while dumping their old gifts on his mountain, -which provides him with all the misc. things he needs to build a garbage Man Cave to live in.
Literally living off their garbage.
One little girl starts to wonder, is Christmas just about gifts?
Or does it mean a little bit more?
Wanting everyone to be together for Christmas she goes out of her way to invite the Grinch to town for a Christmas celebration, but when things don't go well...
The Grinch gets an idea...
An AWFUL idea...
As Michael Keaton’s crazed Billy Blaze of Night Shift livens the scenes he’s in, Carrey’s Grinch commands attention for every single frame he’s shot on. As embellished as the film is from Dr. Suess’ book, the adaptation succeeds because Carrey’s performance delivers on letting the audience see him interact with the villagers of Whoville.
The story’s modifications allows for the emotional orchestration of the Grinch’s backstory. The audience knows that the Grinch will eventually steal Christmas, but the inciting incident allows for Carrey’s (arguably correct) denunciation of Christmas frenzy.
While shifting between a faithful adaptation and an amplified backstory, the balance may seem a tad off, yet it reaffirms the Grinch’s intention to totally wipe out the holiday. Therein lies the Ron Howard snag: the juxtaposition of Carrey’s inability to actually steal the holiday and the young Taylor Momsen’s (Cindy Lou) inability to open up the hearts of the adults.

The Grinch is a movie that kind of slipped below the radar for me when it was first released. My 5 year old daughter loves The Mask and also The Incredible Hulk so she wanted to try this film...She likes green creatures! She seemed to enjoy it very much but thought the Grinch was a bit too angry and sinister...I think she expected a much brighter and happier film, and even at the finale when the Grinch redeems himself it's not particularly bright or colourful. Shame really. There's no taking away from Carrey's wonderful and zany performance though and my daughter and I only seemed to enjoy it when he was on the screen.
Jim Carrey does an excellent and entertaining job as The Grinch but is not his best role by far, and Taylor Momson is excellent and adorable in her first major film role but the story is just too random to make much sense to kids and the jokes just fall too short for the adults.
Fine for Christmas day but couldn't drag myself to watch it any other time.
Tons of 'behind the scenes' bonus features.

Amazon did refund me after I spoke to customer services a load of hassle I didn’t need after a day at work!
