Audience Member I thought it was an enjoyable story and a look into the time period of Charles Dickens life to inspire him to write one of the most memorable Christmas stories even to this day Rated 3.5 out of 5 stars 01/13/23 Full Review Audience Member A hard to find story of how Dicken's was inspired to write The Christmas Carol. Very family friendly..well it was produced by a family friendly company. It has discussion questions at the end of the movie. Rated 3.5 out of 5 stars 01/11/23 Full Review Audience Member Almost harmless family fluff. Rated 2.5 out of 5 stars 01/25/23 Full Review Read all reviews
