Review title: A real life Grinch
Product review: How I wish any other actor played the male lead besides Ed Asner! Had the movie not featured an actor that became a real life nihilistic Grinch, the movie had the potential to become a holiday classic that I'd play for our family each year. Instead, the movie gathers dust and my children have never seen it.The village scenes were filmed in Chagrin Falls, Ohio and the Asner's home in nearby Hudson. Chagrin Falls is where I grew up, so one might think sentimentality would lead me to plug the movie regardless of who acted in it. But such is not the case.Asner in real life turned out to be a far more unpleasant character than is portrayed in this movie. His politics disgrace the idea of a family reconciliation. His real life divorces overwhelm what passes for acting in this movie. Ed Asner is no Jimmy Stewart! Asner's acting in this movie would be more fondly remembered had he died when the character in this movie did. Sad what an ugly, angry man he actually became.
