    6 / 10

    Translated from swedish: "How the Grinch Stole Christmas" is a very idyllic story. At times, it may be a little too saccharine, as Hollywood often likes to mix honey into the syrup, but Carrey adds a touch of acidity to the whole thing.

    4 / 10

    Translated from swedish: Jim Carrey is occasionally brilliant as the grumpy, humorous, and deep down warm Grinch, but for the most part, it just becomes too much.
    - Anders Eklöf
