My brothers and I, my children and my grandchildren have always loved this story and the 1966 animated version seen every Christmas. As a huge Jim Carey fan, I expected to love this too. I didn't. I love Ron Howard films, too, but not this one. I particularly disliked the scene in Grinch's lair with broken glass and onion. However, Taylor Momsen is a delightful actress and her song "Where are you Christmas?" was perfect and truly touching! She was, however, the only character I enjoyed watching. Sorry, I find this lavish production very disappointing.
