So was it the more subdued version of Jim Carrey, or the way too over the top overacting Grinch-like version Jim Carrey?

I give it an A-. The only reason I don't give it an A is for the fact that it wasn't live action. We did not see the 3D version. We opted for the 2D, regular version because I get sick and tired of watching these 3D films in the theater and going home with a headache.

Jim was damn good. He was subdued and not over the top. The story line, and especially the dialogue stayed almost on par with the novella. I am so happy that Disney didn't try to change this into a Disney original or adaptation. They even began it by opening the Dickens' book and ended it the same way--VERY CLASSY.

I wouldn't say it was TOO scary for the kids, as long as they are 8 and up and not little punkolas. My daughter is 10 and was completely fine.

I recommend all Christmas Carol fans go see this film. It is worth it.

More subdued. Nothing like the Grinch. He played the part of Scrooge wonderfully. But it being Jim Carrey made it that much better.
