Enters Cindy Lou-Who, a six-year-old girl who questions the town's obsession with over-the-top presents and investigates just why the Grinch is so grumpy. An unlikely friendship forms between the two. With a little help from the young girl, the Grinch discovers something about himself, and begins to realize what he has missed all the years he has hidden himself away.
Jim Carrey is amazing and fun as the Grinch. He earns big laughs without ever stepping out of character. Although the film won't appeal to all ages, this would make a great movie for any young person new to film and the Christmas holidays.
