Trivia:
The pink-housed village was built especially for the movie in the Moorpark, California area, on a hillside just south of the 118 freeway. When it was first constructed many local residents complained to their elected officials that such an eyesore had been allowed to be built, but were assured that it was just a movie set built and that it would be torn down upon completion of filming which, by December 2002, it was. more

Waste of time!, 2 January 2006

The only good thing about this unfunny dreck is that I didn't have to pay for it. I saw it for free at college. And if a college student can't find humor in something that was free, it's hopeless.

Stale acting and poor jokes cannot be masked by an excellent, yet bewildering set design (that goes out of its way to market Volkswagon Beetles). I don't know what Michaels Myers was doing in this movie, but I have never seen anything more depressing. This was nothing more than a blatant effort to capitalize on the previous success of the Grinch (which has its opponents, but I enjoyed it very much). It's difficult not to sit through this failure and wonder what better projects were passed over to fund it.

You want a funny Seuss adaptation? Go with the Grinch.
