Jim Carrey is definitely talented but, I find I don't always like all his movies. I loved "The Mask." Refused to go see "Dumb & Dumber", hated "Ace Ventura: Pet Detective", loved "The Truman Show", refused to see "The Cable Guy" and thought "Batman Forever" was good. I think my problem with Carrey is, I really don't like slapstick, never have, and he can get to be too much.

So, armed with that information about me, here is my review of "The Grinch."

1 fish, 2 fish red fish blue fish... This story is not, like the children's book. This version is really too deep to be a kids story. Although the costuming and make up were so wonderful the kids thought they were looking at the book!

At 6'2" Carrey makes a very tall very green Who, named the Grinch. This movie starts when little Grinchie is delivered by the stork, how he was tormented in school and finally how he ran away to the mountain to when his hand made Christmas present was laughed at by the other kids.

Although the book by Dr. Seuss is a children's book, I think this movie is a bit to dark for young children.
