Dr. Seuss How The Grinch Stole Christmas – Edited

He's mean, he's green, and he hates the Christmas season. Jim Carrey stars in the live-action adaptation of the classic story by Dr. Seuss. Atop Mt. Crumpet, the Grinch observes the residents of Whoville joyously celebrate Christmas. The Grinch was born in Whoville, but was shunned because of his scary appearance, and his love for Martha May Whovier turned him bitter. So the Grinch decides to wreak havoc on the small town of Whoville and ruin their Christmas fun.

Dove Review

“How The Grinch Stole Christmas” is one of my all time favorite Christmas movies, but it’s also a great one to watch all year round. Jim Carrey is the perfect actor to play the Grinch with his funny faces and Grinch-like movements. He really makes the classic Dr. Seuss character come alive. The costumes are amazing also. The masks that the actors wear turn them into completely different creatures: the creatures from Whoville. I enjoy this movie to the fullest every time I watch it.
