The Mean One is a Grinch-Horror parody film filled with alright and pretty bad acting, kills, and the story. The story with it being that the Grinch, but in the film referred to as "The Mean One", that it does its Christmas yearly kills to whoever puts up Christmas decorations or is in the Christmas spirit for the holidays. The origin story of Cindy (main protagonist) witnessing her mom die, while she was a kid, because of the Grinch right in front of her and seeks retribution to end this nightmare once and for all as she is older. Overall, I tried to like it because it is a Grinch Horror parody, the story, and my favorite scene being with the douche Christmas party people entering the bar, then getting killed off. Disliked it because of the cringe and awkward sheriff and half the deaths were off screen, then we see the aftermath of their dead bodies afterwards. In my opinion, it is a mid-level film of entertainment because it is bad and good at the same time.

This filmed is nothing but Mean-Spirited, Disturbing, and Traumatizing at the same time along with The Banana Splits Movie, it's also ruined everyone's childhood of The Grinch. Which The Grinch is better than The Mean One that gives everyone nightmares. (Although I like Horror films) I would just stick to the better R Rated Christmas films like Die Hard (although Live Free or Die Hard is Rated PG-13), Lethal Weapon, Harold And Kumar, Vacation (although European Vacation and Christmas Vacation are Rated PG-13 and Vegas Vacation is Rated PG), and Trading Places are better than this pile of cow pie.

I'm baffled this got a theater release cause it was mostly cheesy I praise for the horror and fun mindless entertainment. The Mean One is solid for a Christmas screwball horror, I enjoy the story, the narrator, and stylish violence. The acting is the worst aspect! I'm glad I have the regal subscription that helps I got my moneys worth despite complaints I had fun. Nice to see a full audience except for the kid that sat next to me that was obnoxious numerous times kinda funny when drop most of his candy and farted; the better person was a couple seats to the right of me named Josh he was cool. Might be a hit to some others will hate The Mean One, I liked more than you'd think.

When I first read online that they were making a Christmas Horror Movie based on Dr. Suess' timeless classic "How the Grinch Stole Christmas", It really flipped my mind and was like "seriously?!", one thing's for sure is that ever since the failure of the live-action movie adaptation of "the Cat in the Hat"; Audrey Giesel told every movie executive not to adapt any of his classic stories into live-action films and almost 2 decades later, they never listen! The story is just bland and awkward and so are the characters that are literally just stereotypical characters even this movie has a lot of awkward acting, and cheap blood effects and the makeup design of the Mean One looks just plain cheesy and awkward at the same time. Whatever you do fans of this Dr. Suess story, do not see this since he and his wife are rolling in their graves by now and stick with the Original story as well as the Animated Special animated by the legendary Chuck Jones and even the 2000 film version starring Jim Carrey as the Title Character, plus the 2018 animated movie made by the studio that brought us Despicable Me films; it's okay and decent enough for anyone who enjoyed one of Dr. Suess' best-beloved stories both young and old.
