6.2?! WHY PEOPLE ARE SO INSANE THESE DAYS!?!
"Great and Delightful Film. Funny Enough and Great Message. This was a True Christmas Spirit I would say. The Characters are So Great. This Movie touches my Heart From The Ending. They should make movies like this someday..."
💡 Did You Know?
The Grinch directing his dog, Max (Kelley), before stealing Christmas, is a result of Jim Carrey making fun of producer and director Ron Howard, imitating his style of directing. Howard found the scene hilarious and decided to include it in the movie.
