Dr. Seuss' How the Grinch Stole Christmas is a 2000 American Christmas comedy film directed by Ron Howard and written by Jeffrey Price and Peter S. Seaman, loosely based on the 1957 children's book of the same name by Dr. Seuss. It is the first of two Dr. Seuss books to be adapted into a live-action feature film (alongside the 2003 film adaptation of The Cat in the Hat), and is the second adaptation of the book following the 1966 animated TV special. Narrated by Anthony Hopkins, the film stars Jim Carrey as the Grinch, a misanthropic green creature living on Mount Crumpit, who despises Christmas and the joyful residents of Whoville and sets out to sabotage their holiday celebration. The supporting cast includes Jeffrey Tambor, Christine Baranski, Bill Irwin, Taylor Momsen and Molly Shannon. How the Grinch Stole Christmas premiered in Los Angeles on November 8, 2000, and was released theatrically in the United States on November 17 by Universal Pictures. The film received mixed reviews...
