How the Grinch Stole Christmas: Original Motion Picture Soundtrack (2000 Film) Review
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.--Rob O'Connor

Fun Christmas music with a beautiful score!

I originally bought this CD for Faith Hill's "Where Are You Christmas", but I fell in love with the score as well after hearing it! It is a wonderful score with a holiday feel to it, and I love it! All of the songs at the beginning of the albuim are fun, with a warm and cheery holiday feel to them as well. It was an audio version of the movie, in my opinion, which is truly the best Christmas movie of today!

Not Quite What the Dr. Ordered, But Fairly Close.

I bought this cd to play on the internet radio show I host. The album basically contains some modern-sounding Christmas songs, sprinkled with a few traditional-sounding Christmas tunes, interlaced with movie dialogue and ending with the musical score written by James Horner. This isn't the typical Christmas album and neither is it the usual movie soundtrack. Instead, HOW THE GRINCH STOLE CHRISTMAS Soundtrack is something of a strange hybrid of the two. Besides the songs updated from the original televsion special, the only songs I really enjoyed were "Green Christmas" sung by the Barenaked Ladies and "Where Are You Christmas?" sung by Faith Hill. Those two songs along with the score and movie dialogue make this an interesting piece of holiday music to listen. I don't think it's quite what Dr. Suess would have had in mine, but it's fairly close.
