How The Grinch Stole Christmas
Dr. Seuss
Jim Carrey stars in the Ron Howard adaptation of Dr. Seuss’s enduring tale of the evil Grinch in Whoville and the Christmas he looks to sabotage. Carrey also lends his quick mouth to “Grinch 2000,” a rap duet with Busta Rhymes, and to “You’re a Mean One, Mr. Grinch,” which he goes alone in a voice somewhere between Buster Poindexter, Don Rickles, and Pavarotti on acid and amphetamines. The mistletoe has its place above country-pop star Faith Hill, who delivers the album’s first single, “Where Are You, Christmas?” Other high-profile names here include those Canadian jokesters Barenaked Ladies, ska-punks Smash Mouth, and that omnipresent boyband ‘N Sync. Lesser names like the Eels, the modest pop experiment of a man called “E”, and the orchestral grandeur of the Trans-Siberian Orchestra contribute solid festive tunes. A few dialogue bits are scattered throughout, and James Horner’s movie score finishes things off.
