Live-action take on classic has some crude, scary moments.
What Parents Need to Know
Parents need to know that How the Grinch Stole Christmas is an imaginative version of Dr. Seuss' beloved classic picture book, but it may be too intense and scary for the youngest or most sensitive kids. Ominous music accompanies the Grinch and his cartoon trouble making in multiple scenes. Jim Carrey, behind a rubbery green face, is the master of cackles and distorted facial expressions. A heroic little girl is in danger more than once. Kids who understand the difference between the real and the fantastical will delight in the chaotic, very funny mayhem. So will grown-ups. There are a few moments of crude humor along the way (i.e., the Grinch sticks his butt out and says, "Pucker up and kiss it," and several males ogle a buxom woman).

Fun film
In 2018 Universal released an animated version of the story however it doesn't have the heart or the laughs that this Jim Carey version does.
We all know the classic cartoon version story about "The Grinch" but this film shows us why he is this way.
Lots of heart and there is a message of bullying here that is beneath the surface here. Perfect for family viewing anytime of the year.
