The Grinch is an adorable and charming family movie that teaches not to hate, bring joy whenever we can, and love each other. Read more

This animation will certainly serve its purpose for a new, younger generation offering them a fun and festive film which will be easily revisited year after year. Read more

While not as memorable or as essential as reading the Dr. Seuss book, or in watching the original animated short film, The Grinch is vibrant and catchy enough to sate the entertainment interests of those looking for a holiday film for the younger set in the family. Read more

Works as a modernized retelling of Dr. Seuss's classic, with some compelling tweaks to the story and characters for plenty of family fun. Read more

While this is easily the most dull and forgettable version of the Dr Seuss classic, the most important aspect hits the mark: children will likely have fun with it and with the school holidays coming up that’s reason to be happy. Read more

It’s moderately amusing, but it has a difficult time justifying its own existence; it’s simply unnecessary to revisit the Seuss masterpiece yet again, especially when there’s no fresh angle from which to approach it. Read more

The Grinch had a dramatic, explosive epiphany, but this new Grinch meanders to a nauseating, inevitable disappointing meh. Read more

The Grinch is nearly as empty as Cindy Lou’s living room on Christmas morn. Read more

An unnecessary remake of the beloved film, it’s not clear if this movie is absolutely detestable because of its pointlessness, or because it never really engages with the audience on an emotional level. Read more

The Grinch is een meer kindvriendelijke versie van het verhaal, die het uitstekend zal doen bij de jongere kijkers. Read more

Een voltreffer en overstijgt het niveau van Sing & Huisdiergeheimen. Een leuke film voor de hele familie! Read more

Het stemwerk is wel leuk en zowel in het Nederlands als in de originele versie herken je veel bekende stemmen terug en zowel Benedict Cumberbatch als Carlo Boszhard hebben zich redelijk uit kunnen leven als de Grinch. Het vervelendste is misschien dat ik de film af en toe saai vond, iets wat ik bij eerdere Illumination producties niet had. Read more

Een kleurrijke vertelling van het originele verhaal geworden, dat met wat aanpassingen redelijk te behappen is. Read more

Slaat helaas op meerdere vlakken de plank mis en is soms zelfs saai te noemen. Leuk voor de kids maar meer ook niet. Read more

De focus ligt voornamelijk op het jonge publiek. Met als resultaat een kindvriendelijke film met enorm veel slapstick en flauwe humor.
