    Books to film 📚=🎞️ How the Grinch Stole Christmas (1957) by Dr Seuss was adapted to TV animation (1966) by Chuck Jones & in 2000 by Ron Howard. The film expands the story considerably as it renders a more adult tale. A romance & delving into dark comedy are more variations. 🎄😈❄️ #filmsky #booksky

    Okay but even as someone who grew up with this film... I kinda agree with the critics, it is pretty bad, but it is also a fun type of bad, a "so bad it's good" kind. Kinda like the Jim Carrey Grinch movie (even though the Grinch is arguably kinda better). Lol

    Among films that opened on at least 2,000 screens, SINNERS’ 6% drop is among the lowest for a flick that didn’t have Thanksgiving (THE GRINCH) or Christmas (AVATAR) to cushion its second-weekend descent. Alas, I can no longer make jokes about HANNAH MONTANA: THE MOVIE because that comp is now toast.
