THE GRINCH (PG) OUT NOW Based on Theodor Seuss Geisel's poem, the Grinch is a pot-bellied, yeti-style green monster who lives with his dog above the town of Whoville. He hates the rodent-featured "Whos" but most of all he hates their version of Christmas - known as Who-bilation - and all the schmaltz that entails. ———————— SPONSORED BY SIEMENS ————————— SEE SKY.COM TO WIN A SIEMENS MOBILE PHONE NextRelease Gossip MoviesA-Z TV Index

However, one of the Whos - little girl Cindy Lou - sees through all the superficiality of her people and the rampant consumerism they embrace. She can't understand why the Grinch is excluded from the celebrations and is determined to include him... ———————— SPONSORED BY SIEMENS ————————— ARE YOU A LUCKY LOTTERY WINNER? p114 NextReleasj Gossip MoviesA-Z TV Index

I can't help feeling that it was a mistake to have Sir Anthony Hopkins link the action in a voice over by reading from Dr Seuss's poem. What this serves to point up is how much less subtle and witty the movie's dialogue is. ———————— SPONSORED BY SIEMENS ————————— WHAT'S COMING UP. TV GUIDE P120 NextRelease Gossip MoviesA-Z TV Index
