Review of The Grinch (2018) by Spongeswift — 15 Nov 2018
"The Grinch" falls in line with "The Lorax" in which the movie is good but is dumbed down with childish toilet humor. I think this move doesn't deserve the heat it's getting. It's nice holiday fun and is a slight improvement from the already alright "The Lorax" fronting with Zac Efron and Taylor Swift.
Benedict Cumberbatch was a problem for me. I didn't like his voice behind the Grinch. Overall that was a pretty easy pill to swallow. The rest of the movie is fine, but it picked up in the third act. That was a tear jerker which was really uncommon for the quirky Illumination studio.
Overall I enjoyed the film mildly but had some gripes that could've been fixed.
