The Pitch: Live action version of the beloved Christmas spacial. Excuse me, I mean, book.
What Took Me So Long: The thing about Christmas movies is that if you don't watch them in December, it feels wrong and I could never find time for it in December.
Why I Saw It: (Club 50) I like when Jim Carrey is having fun. I like him at other times too, but I think his is one of the most naturally entertaining comedy actors out there. Overall, it is really impressive how well the movie recreates the Doctor Seuss world, which I really always assumed could only successfully exist in animated form.
Why I Wish I Hadn't: There isn't enough to this story for a full movie. The animated special is the perfect length for this story. Adding everything they did to this left it feeling very bloated.
Verdict (?): Weakly Don't Recommend
