While in typical illumination affair, the movie is very stylized and pandering and bland, but it still is mostly cute and inoffensive and the most important parts of the Grinch story, the song, the theft, and the message, are handled well and in some ways handled better than most Grinch incarnations, so I think it perfectly fine to watch with the family. In the very least it was better than the dumpster fire that was Christmas Chronicles 2.
