How the Grinch Stole Christmas Honest Trailer
First up, it just wouldn't be the Christmas season without a little "holiday who-be what-ee" from Jim Carrey in Ron Howard's live-action adaptation of "How the Grinch Stole Christmas." In this case, the extended take on the classic story is getting the Honest Trailer treatment from Screen Junkies, and you will be pleasantly surprised to hear it carried out in rhyme (at least at the beginning), just like a classic Dr. Seuss book. However, you might not be happy to hear the movie described as "exhausting, like eating a cake made entirely of frosting." See? It rhymes!
