Last year I started watching all the Christmas Carol movies I could find and rating them. I gave this a 2 out of 5 and wrote in my notes, "um, holy cow". I couldn't remember why. I just rewatched it and my guess is it has to do with the singing in it. It is not natural or pleasant, and at times, downright goofy. ("Why Ghost of Christmas Present, you can do stupid stuff!"). Scrooge is fine. I kind of like them making the first two ghosts resemble people Scrooge knows, just for some variation. (For the most part I like the variations of all the different movies, otherwise it can be a bit boring, even if it is a great story). The song at the end that just rests on Scrooge's face is hilarious. This movie is close to "so bad it's good" territory. I recommend watching it with friends and booze.
