 Jim Carrey and Ron Howard's Grinch: yay or nay?
 Ron Howard's live-action adaptation of How the Grinch Stole Christmas: a tremendously lucrative film (its domestic total adjusts to around 415 million) which seems to have found a certain footing among the aired-on-television-every-year holiday canon, but which also seriously gets under certain people's skin with its stranger elements (Baby Grinch, the Whos' pinched faces). In general, for you: yay or nay?

Despite being a big fan of Howard, Carrey, and Seuss.

I've always thought The Grinch was ugly, soulless, and unfunny.

Big nay. But my favorite Christmas movie is Jingle All The Way, so who am I to judge?
