How the Grinch Stole Christmas Movie Summary:
Starring Jim Carrey, How the Grinch Stole Christmas is a live-action movie based on the beloved children’s story by Dr. Seuss. (Many people have also seen the animated adaptation of the story, which is narrated by Boris Karloff, on TV.) The feature-length movie version greatly expands the original story, including a flashback to when the Grinch was only eight years old and the other youngsters in Whoville treated him cruelly. Although the film has a happy ending, it isn’t overly cheerful, and much of it has a contemporary, slightly edgy feel. Carrey does lots of physical humor and cracks lots of jokes, but the film ultimately preserves the original story and its message that Christmas is more than just decorations and gifts.
