In Theaters: November 9, 2018

This week we have just one wide release to talk about.

Dr. Seuss' The Grinch

So I think it looks funny.

First of all, it's animated, as God intended.  Jim Carrey is talented, but he's not talented enough to play the live-action Grinch in a way that ages well eighteen years later.  Secondly, Benedict Cumberbatch voices the Grinch.  Perfect.  I think this one could emerge as a classic.

I can't really explain my faith in this movie.  I definitely don't like everything Illumination does.  Actually, I think I dislike most of what Illumination does, but there's no denying their animation style fits like a glove for a Dr. Seuss book.  It just looks so right, visually.  Maybe that's why I'm a believer.

Dr. Seuss' The Grinch is rated PG for brief rude humor.
