Review by Zā ★★★★★ 54

Reasons why Letterboxd should take this film more seriously:
- Ron Howard's best film. Can you think of something better? I can't.
- One of three Oscar noms Jim Carrey was robbed of.
- I'm sorry but the script is funny as hell and makes this trainwreck so pleasing.
- Utter madness on the screen.
- ORIGINAL SONG "WHERE ARE YOU CHRISTMAS" SANG BY THE TALENTED FAITH HILL (and co written by the Queen of Christmas herself, Mariah Carey)
- Narration by Anthony Hopkins
- Max is such a good dog???
- Lesbians
- Baby Grinch
- Tiny girl who will one day become The Pretty Reckless
Case closed.

"even if i wanted to go my schedule wouldn't allow it.

4:30: stare into abyss.
5:00: solve world hunger (tell no one).
5:30: jazzercize.
6:30: dinner with me. i can't cancel again.
7:00: wrestle with my self-loathing."

Review by Reece ★★★★½ 10

I legitimately and without any shred of sarcasm or irony think that Jim Carrey deserved an Oscar nom for this
