This is by far my favorite Christmas movie of all times. Jim Carey did a great job on it and I absolutely love it. If I don't watch it at least 10 times every Christmas season, then something is wrong.
I'm sure most know about the Dr. Seuss story, "How the Grinch Stole Christmas". The story of a character named the Grinch who hated the who's and their celebration of Christmas, so he devises a plan to destroy Christmas. However it doesn't work and he ends up feeling bad and then returns Christmas and celebrates with the Whos.
This movie follows that basic story, but hollywood boosts it a bit. I actually like the boosts it makes to it, which is actually pretty different for me.
Firstly, do you remember Cindy Lo Who? The Little girl in the book that comes down when the Grinch is shoving the tree up the chimney? Well she's a main character in this movie, and she's a bit older than 2 years old.
She's seeking the meaning of Christmas (Just like the little boy from the Polar Express). For the Whos, Christmas is prepared for year round and is very important to them. Cindy Lou can't figure it out, and she would very much like to.
Cindy sees the Grinch as a person that hates Christmas and she wants to figure out why, after he saves her from a packaging machine in the beginning of the movie. She invites him to christmas events, but in doing so, the mayor makes sure to embarrass him and then the Grinch decides to ruin Christmas. You pretty much know the story from here.
The Grinch dresses up as Santa Claus and steals all the Christmas food, presents, and decorations. When he is done and is back on the mountain, he can hear the Whos singing and doesn't get it at first, then it snaps and his heart grows. Then he finds Cindy on top of the sled and the sled is falling off the mountain, so he saves her.
