5. The Grinch - Live Action Seuss Films Are Acceptable
No. No, they're not. At all. Ever. Look, I like the Grinch, okay? It's not a
good movie. In fact it's actually a pretty self-indulgent, poor representation of a holiday classic that needed no remake. But I still
like it. However, Jim Carrey convinced someone in Hollywood that it's a good idea to put an overacting comedian in a latex fur suit and let him play around with children. And do you know what that led to? Cat in the Hat. With Mike Meyers. After the relative success of The Grinch, Universal decided to cast the spy who shagged us all as a playful, light-hearted, whimsical fluff ball in a kids movie. There was no way this could ever end well. And it didn't. I want to like you, Grinch. I want to enjoy your antics and your pop-culture references and your subtle profanity that somehow manages to elude everyone. "It's because I'm green, isn't it?" always cracks me up. And the actual moral of the story for this movie (that Christmas doesn't come from a store) is genuinely heart-warming. But your very existence served to ruin our chances of a decent film adaptation of one of Dr. Seuss's most beloved books any time soon. For this, you've earned your place on this list.
