I love Christine Baranski in it, she has the thankless job of only making shocked faces, showing her boobs, and being disturbingly horned up for a family movie about The Grinch, but dammit she still gives it her all
It was panned when it came out minus carrey’s performance, which is quite effective. I won’t debate that it’s become a staple but that’s in spite of the movie.
One of the most vivid memories of my life was watching this movie during the last two hours of a long train-to-bus trip up to Maine around Christmas during which I was very obviously getting sick. Just sitting there, 101 fever on the bus from Boston to Portland, watching that shit. Everyone's noses.
It’s the perfect movie to watch while you medically can’t move, because Carrey and all the actors are perfectly cast but Ron Howard’s presence is a lead weight that feels like being half asleep. Cat in the Hat is also like this too but 10 times worse.
The perfect movie to demonstrate to little mini domestic terrorists that are borderline sociopaths that the world doesnt revolve around them isnt a good movie and that its ok to care a few times a year about others ????
I love this movie only because it's a Christmas movie lmao
I have so many good memories with it, much like how I have good memories with Rudolph and Elf! I do agree this version of the Grinch isn't the best though...
I actually think Jim Carrry is kinda great in it, he’s just acting in a way designed in a lab to be maximally annoying. Ron Howard is the worst part of the movie. https://bsky.app/profile/kayin.moe/post/3lceweyys3s2j
It's SO horny. There are so many references to people getting laid. Carrey's face wedged in Baranski's cleavage, people having affairs. Even at the beginning when the teenagers dare each other to go to the Grinch's house, one of the girls has the biggest fake padded ass. Stop wanting to fuck Whos!
Both this movie and the Cat in the Hat starring Mike Myers are the reason why we no longer have live action Seuss movies, CitH is so much more feverish in everything though, he’s a public menace! 😂😂😂
Between that, the bit about the baby looking like the wifes "boss" and christine baranskis entirely delightful, over the top too spicy turn and subplot, its a fairly funny movie wrt whovilles tawdry subtext
I just bought this movie on DVD because I can never find it on any streaming services when I want to watch it. I love the silliness and obscene innuendos throughout the movie. 😂
there's a really cool (bad, but cool) grinch movie tie-in game for the playstation. I always appreciated the voice actor's attempt to channel Jim Carrey https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oavqcVuDWC0
The last decade of green screen blockbusters has made me appreciate even the most middling late 90s/2000s big budget production because they had to make most of that stuff for real.
