THE GRINCH (DVD) Green mean and hairy the scrooge-like creature from Dr. Seuss' picture book comes to disconcerting life thanks to Jim Carrey and some exceptionally impressive makeup. Ron Howard directs this quintessential yuletide adventure while consulting the Tim Burton Book of Weird. Green and grumpy he may be The Grinch is so bitter and cynical he makes Shrek look like Marry Poppins. So it's a bit of a shame then that everything else in Ron Howard's version of Dr. Seuss' book is so grotesquely sweet. Set in Whoville a fairy tale town built inside - it seems - a snowflake The Grinch rejected as a (green fluffy) child no lives up the mountain being generally bitter and spiteful about the nice Christmas lovin' snub-nosed folk who live down below. Deciding to "steal" the festival from them this plans are foiled by the cute as a button Cindy Lou Who (most of the characters seem to be related which might explain their inbred appearance) drags him into town to revel in a bit of seasonal spirit. The trouble with transforming a slim picture book into an 100 minute movie is obvious. There's simply not enough story to go around. As such the film feels padded out with extraneous details (such as The Grinch's motivation I jest not) and sight gags. Originally filmed as a 22 minute cartoon (narrated by Boris Karloff) the film's major assets are Jim Carrey and Rick Baker's astonishing makeup. The film is at it's best when it's a Carrey one man show and while the set design is quite impressive elsewhere it feels a little overdone more like Batman & Robin than Batman say. The sheer Christmassy overkill of the film might prove a little cloying for some (there's a sort of half hearted dig at the commercialism of Christmas in there somewhere though) full of Santa suits fairy lights and glitter also some adults hoping for the next Jim Carrey comedy might find it a little childish but then that shouldn't be a surprise at all. A good looking fairy tale well worth catching for the makeup alone. ...
