Patricia J I loved it. I watch it every Christmas ⛄ Rated 5 out of 5 stars 12/06/23 Full Review bill t Bit of a painful version of A Christmas Carol here. Cicely Tyson looks practically immobile as the imaginatively named Ebonita Scrooge. sSe goes through the motions as she comes across three ghosts to tell her what she's done and what will happen in the future. All the cast here looks like they're doing it for the paycheck and for the glamour to be in a TV movie on the Hallmark Channel. Rated 2.5 out of 5 stars 03/30/23 Full Review Audience Member A cheesy spoof of A Christmas Carol without intending to be.Cicely Tyson sounds like she has marbles in her mouth throughout the film and is nearly incomprehensible as a result. A direct to tv 90s film that is great for a laugh over the holidays. Rated 2 out of 5 stars 02/25/23 Full Review Audience Member So-So Update Of The Classic Christmas Tale, The Basic Plot Is Good (Being A Christmas Carol) But That's About It. Theres Not Much More You Can Say Apart From The Fact Its Watchable, But Not A Very Well Put Together Film. Rated 1.5 out of 5 stars 01/21/23 Full Review Audience Member This take on A Christmas Carol has Cicely Tyson playing Scrooge. Me thinks, A Christmas Carol has been done so many times that it's starting to give me a headache. This one has great performances from all but the sound was off so much of the film. I don't know if it was my copy or if it was the sound mixing but the sound was awful. Out of all the Christmas Carol's I have seen this one, is one that I felt the redemption the best and because of the that it was worth the watch. www.what-to-watch.com Rated 1.5 out of 5 stars 02/25/23 Full Review Read all reviews
