I didn't think it was THAT bad
Carrey's ramblings as the Grinch were a bit too much, though. It's on Christmas night every year on ABC. I know there are so much better Christmassy movies they could put on for us to enjoy. They could put on "Elf", "Bad Santa", "Jingle All The Way", or even a Christmas variety special. They insist on keeping showing this movie. It's Christmas. It by no means gives us the special feeling in our hearts like the 1966 cartoon does, but it works! It's NOT Ron Howard's best work, but i give it a 7 score. It could have been soooooo much better!! If we wait another 10-15 years, someone will do another movie version of "How The Grinch Stole Christmas", and perhaps it will be cuter, and a hit. I never understood why people who HATE a movie choose to write stuff in the movie's IMDB message section about it, criticizing it, hating on it, etc. If you don't like a movie, or if you HATE a movie, don't post anything about it. Just forget about it, and post on message boards of movies you DO like.
Now, about the person who said he was FORCED to watch it 5 times, and hated it everytime, what country is he from??? Is he from a communist country, where he had a gun to his head, and was forced to watch it? I can't believe that someone was forced to watch ANY Christmas movie. Did he have a pop quiz on the movie afterwards, where he had to answer questions on it, and he had to get them all right, or he was murdered in cold blood? Geez! Give us a break! You were not EVER *FORCED* to watch this movie!
