Why does everyone hate on this movie? I think it's great. This, Elf, and A Christmas Story are must-watches every year.

Nobody could of played the Grinch better than Jim Carrey. He brings so much energy. I never realized that it was Anthony Hopkins that was the narrator. He has a perfect narrator voice. The Grinch love story is a little weird.

I now realise this monstrosity is intentional, the Grinch isn't the monster…
