In this kinetic live-action adaptation of the beloved children’s tale by Dr. Seuss, the reclusive green Grinch (Jim Carrey) decides to ruin Christmas for the cheery citizens of Whoville. Reluctantly joined by his hapless dog, Max, the Grinch comes down from his mountaintop home and sneaks into town to swipe everything holiday-related from the Whos. But the bitter grump runs into a roadblock in the form of the endearing little Cindy Lou Who (Taylor Momsen). Directed by JBFC Board Member Ron Howard and featuring supporting turns by Christine Baranski, Jeffrey Tambor, Molly Shannon, and narrated by Anthony Hopkins, The Grinch won an Academy Award for legendary make-up artist Rick Baker’s transformative work turning Carrey into the tempestuous green monster.
