Crime against Grinch fans

Illumination's "The Grinch" is the epitome of corporate slop.

There is nothing outstanding or good about the movie whatsoever. It is impossible to hate watch because of how God damn boring it is. They made the Grinch into a mildly annoying asshole instead of leaning into the original Grinch's malice or the Jim Carry Grinch's sheer eccentricity and cartooney evilness. They also made the Grinch do good things BEFORE THE FUCKING CLIMAX WHERE HIS HEART GROWS, this, alone, shows how little care Illumination put into being accurate to the source material and trying to be new and innovative. The closest thing they had to innovation, was a forgettable B-plot where Cindy Loo Who tries to get into contact with Santa to tell him to give her mom a break; this plot goes nowhere, has no soul, and all of the antics that happen in this "plot" are so fucking vapid and boring that it makes the fitness gram pacer test look like a blessing sent from the heavens because you wouldn't have to watch this piss stain of a movie anymore. Most of the main plot involves Shrek's cum sock, dicking around town doing baby safe "wACkY" antics around Whoville while he complains about Christmas the whole time. Most of the Jim Carry version is the same, however the antics in that movie are so cartoonishly awful that they become hilarious, and Jim's acting adds to that to make a great time. However in the Illumination version, none of the antics or jokes made me laugh or feel anything once, the most entertainment I got from me feeling my surroundings like it was a meditation practice. Frankly, I wish I could say more, but there is nothing else of note to talk about.

Final Consensus: this movie sucks ass, and I'd rather participate in a 4D eye surgery simulator because I would at least feel something
