The Grinch

The message that Christmas is not about presents and candy canes but about kindness and being together is always welcome. And when the Grinch gets invited to dinner with Cindy Lou’s family, you may find your heart growing a couple of sizes, too.

While the first “Grinch” I will always adore It’s possible that there’s still room for one more. Hearing the Who’s sing their songs to the skies — It’s still movie magic, whatever the size.

Subtlety is not The Grinch’s forte, nor is brevity, and the filmmakers further sodden the plot’s momentum by pausing to explain the origins behind the Grinch’s pre-existing condition (a heart two sizes too small, side effects include an intense loathing of all things Christmas).

The filmmakers keep the visuals merry and popping bright. Benedict Cumberbatch, voicing the Grinch, opts not to compete with Karloff at all, which is smart, and speaks in an American accent, sounding rather like Bill Hader, which is confusing.

This new ‘Grinch’ is too weak to steal Christmas

Instead, Tyler’s weirdo howls are drowned out by the film’s sheer and depressing conventionality: its runtime-padding subplots, bog-standard computer animation, wishy-washy Pharrell Williams narration, and desperate attempts to pack as much yuletide cheer as possible into every single frame.
