This was a fun and light-hearted rendition of a classic that the whole family enjoyed. Benedict naturally voiced the Grinch brilliantly. It seems that many of the complainers were looking for a clone of the original; however, why would you pay big bucks to see something you can wait to see on national television in a couple weeks?! I enjoyed what changes they made and feel they kept with the original sense/spirit of the book and Christmas time.
p.s., I may be biased cause I generally love all Christmas movies, carols, lights, and more. Perhaps I'm too easy to please. Merry Christmas and God bless everyone!
