I remember when this was announced for its theatrical release last year I could not believe that I would be interested in it. I mean, this is A Christmas Carol, a story that everyone is familiar with. It is kind of like Frankenstein and Dracula as stories that we seem born knowing about. I feel fairly certain that I knew what these stories were about in broad stokes before anyone told me about them. On top of that we already have the greats like the Muppet and Disney versions, as well as the 1951 version with Alastair Sim as Scrooge, you can even include the Bill Murray starring Scrooged, so do we really need another? I guess I shouldn't be so cynical; of course, we can use another version, so long as the creative team brings something new to the screen....read the full review
