My 6 year old was scared of the first half of the movie because the grinch is mean and scary. The second half was better though when the grinch is still mean but in a funny way. My older kids laughed throughout the movie, so it's better for kids age 9 or older.
While my children really enjoyed this movie, I'm convinced that Dr. Seuss should not be adapted into film. The types of books he writes are not condusive to movies, so why bother.
This is one of the best movies of all time that don't dissapoint you in the ways of messing up the story. The ad-ins and the noses are hilarious. The Whos are really well costumed. They also did a great job making the Grinchs' costume. The Grinch himself was very sly and clever, a detail that I think Dr. Seuss looked over and the film makers did a wonderful job of expressing it. Cindy is kinda to cute, and the Where are you Chrismas? song was a little to much sugar in my tea. But it was otherwise a great movie!
I can't believe they gave this 5 stars. I was bored watching it in theaters, and watching it a few years later, I'm equally bored.
Stick with the animated one!
Nothing really to be concerned about. The Grinch acts apon his crush on a classmate. Later he tricks the mayor into thinking that classmate wants to kiss him, when it's really the dog's rear end. Yuck!
I love How the Grinch Stole Christmas. The book is one of my favorites, and so is the animated movie. This movie isn't bad, it's just pointless. But if you want, go ahead and try it.
This is a delightful holiday movie. I do have a concern, though. The Grinch eats glass in one scene. This has troubled me ever since I first saw it-- before I even had children. That is the only thing that concerns me about really young children watching it.
