The Grinch is 90 minutes of merch-tie-in with a story bolted on as a legal afterthought.
“Certified chaotic energy.”

The Grinch is what improv class warned you about.

Laughed twice during The Grinch. Once was a sneeze.

The Grinch put every joke in the trailer and then dared us to sit through the rest.

Unpopular opinion: The Grinch is the most overrated film of the decade
Honestly, The Grinch would be a tight 95-minute movie. Instead we got a bloated runtime padded with B-roll and lingering shots that add nothing.

Hot Take: The Grinch's third act ruined what could have been a masterpiece
Everyone praising the The Grinch performances must have watched a different cut. The lead is sleepwalking through this and the supporting cast can't save it.

Why does no one talk about how mid the writing in The Grinch actually is?
Rewatched The Grinch last night and noticed even more plot holes than the first time. The motivations don't track at all once you stop and think about act two.

[Serious Discussion] Is anyone else completely checked out by the pacing in The Grinch?
Director clearly thought The Grinch was deeper than it is. There's a difference between ambiguous and unfinished, and this leans hard into the second.
