The Grinch is up there with Ebenezer Scrooge. An all-timer of a Christmas heel. He stole the holiday simply because he hated the noise. That’s it. His heart was two sizes too small. End of story. There’s a simple lesson to be learned from Dr. Seuss’ How the Grinch Stole Christmas when that’s all there is to it, but as Illumination’s The Grinch proves it’s a lesson that gets muddier the more you try to explain it.
Entire generations have grown up with the story so the film doesn’t have too many surprises. The Grinch lives alone and angry in a Whoville-adjacent cave while the Whos that live in the town below are loving and merry each and every Christmas. For 53 years The Grinch sat in his cave hating it until finally deciding to literally steal Christmas from The Whos. In the end, moved by the Whos’ persistent Christmas spirit even after his holiday heist, the Grinch has a change of heart and returns the gifts.
When the Grinch is as one-dimensionally grumpy as the Whos are one-dimensionally loving, it’s easy to catch the moral of Dr. Seuss’ original book. But the wrinkle added to this Benedict Cumberbatch-voiced Grinch makes buying it a little tougher.
Dr. Seuss' The Grinch is a fun and fast holiday movie, updating the classic story for the audience that made the Minions a billion-dollar industry. However, the straightforward moral of the 30-page children’s book and one of Dr. Seuss’ most memorable characters get a little handcuffed by this update.
