Carrey brings the Grinch to life

Lucas Lakatta, Staff Writer

The Grinch, played by Jim Carrey, is an evil, cold-hearted, green monster-like character who hates Christmas. He plots to steal all the town’s presents to stop it.

The Grinch, who lives at the top of the mountain with his dog, Max, has an evil plan to steal the townspeople’s presents, but his plan takes a turn when he meets a girl name Cindy Lou Who, played by Taylor Momsen.

He learns that maybe Christmas does not come from a store as the Whos continue their celebration without gifts.

How the Grinch Stole Christmas was directed by Ron Howard, but the story was originally written by Dr. Seuss.

This movie is streaming on HBO Max and Amazon Prime Video.

 The Grinch is one of the most classic Christmas stories with one of the most classic characters.

This version with Jim Carrey playing the Grinch is especially good, as he does a great job at being creepy but also funny for the movie audiences.

Released December 1, 2000, it is still a very popular movie which kids and adults look forward to watching every year.

Overall, the movie is not too long or too short at one hour, 45 minutes and has some funny scenes. Some say this is the perfect length for a movie because it’s long enough to be entertained for a while but not too long where you get bored and waste your day away.

It is also very cool how they are keeping Dr. Seuss’s stories alive for more generations to see.
If you are looking for a fun movie to watch with a great plot, you should watch this. It is definitely recommended.
