There! I Fixed the Movie!

  Okay, I know I fixed two Dr. Seuss movies this year, but I swear - I don't hate them.

Nothing great (unless you count Green Eggs and Ham ) but still watchable enough. Even the 2018 Grinch , they did a pretty okay job with it, but at the same time, they also got a good amount wrong.

I honestly don’t think they could’ve been handled worse than how they are in this film. Ralph went from a villain with a heart of gold to basically a really tall baby with a clinginess problem, and Van...
