Benedict Cumberbatch, with an American intonation, makes a nice showing voicing the Grinch, who lives on a mountain high over the gingerbread-pretty town of Whoville, where bubbly generosity is spreading like a plague. Like that other noted Christmas skeptic, Tightwad, there’s a clarification for his wilted heart that is established in the Grinch’s origin story: he grew up disliked in a halfway house where Christmas came not even one time each year.
To obliterate the diversion for every other person, this year the Grinch is mimicking St Nick to take the town’s presents. Simultaneously, charming as-a-button poppet Cindy Lou (Cameron Seely) breaks an arrangement to trap St Nick as he descends the smokestack to be doubly certain her Christmas wishes work out.
As the storyteller, Pharrell Williams conveys Seuss’ sing-tune rhymes delightfully, and the movement is supreme. There are likewise several stopping scenes that set Cumberbatch to work. In the best of them, the Grinch wanders into town to do his food, stepping on the townsfolks’ holiday spirit and joy with pernicious joy. For what it’s worth, the film might leave you feeling as though you’ve been remaining on the elevator in Hamleys for an hour and a half during the Christmas rush.
