Viewer Quotes

- “It’s Jim Carrey killing all these people.”
- “Why not use the flashlight to pull it closer?”

What We Learned
- Nothing about the Grinch at all, like what he was or why he was doing any of it.
- Jim Carrey really takes method acting to the extreme.
Final Take
This movie was pretty thoroughly enjoyable, despite being based on such a thin premise. It was jarring to go from these extreme violent scenes to basically Jim Carrey’s Grinch making whacky faces, but it did make me laugh. It didn’t take itself too seriously. In this case, that was probably the right choice.
