Not the best Scrooge adaptation, but has its moments
Modernizing and slightly rewriting the Charles Dickens classic Christmas Carol is an oft used formula, and this Hallmark offering is one of the more awkward in attempting it.

First, the idea of merging all four ghosts (Marley, Past, Present, and Future) into one character doesn’t seem to work as well as the movie makers hoped. This latter day Scrooge is a toxic publishing exec named Carol (get it?), who is visited by her deceased predecessor, who also has a Christmas reference name: Eve (Carrie Fisher). Fisher plays it well, but an immediate problem develops as we see little if any change in Carol’s demeanor. Faced with only ghost visitor throughout the story, someone she knew personally, their banter becomes a stalemate where Carol persistently demands to go home to bed; Eve talks down to her with sarcastic tolerance like she would talk to a child. Scrooge had different reactions as the various ghosts got through to him–each in their own way, and this story misses that.

The life story of Carol really has none of the human interest of her 1840’s counterpart, either. She just stepped on people’s faces her whole life, and doesn’t seem to be touched emotionally when confronted with this. It’s difficult to identify with someone this deep into denial and lacking in empathy, and the character does not change in a logical or believable manner.

The acting of the cast in general rises above the script, although some of them are stuck with tiresome and annoying stereotypes.

There are many versions of the Scrooge story out there. Among the best are George C. Scott’s and Alistair Sim’s. Catch one of those if you can this Christmas season. Carol is OK only if you have nothing else to do.

Not bad, could be better
Another re-hash of Dickens’ classic the has some interesting points but, as Don Adams used to say in the old “Get Smart” TV series, “Missed it by that much”. I am a “Carol” lover and I own more than 20 versions so I can comment on this with a clear conscience. The idea of having Eve, Carol’s old (and dead) boss take the place of Marley is understandable. The idea of her also taking the place of the three ghosts is less so. As in all the re-tellings of the story the protagonist, Carol, is Scrooge-like and pretty well hated by all the people who work for her. Again she sees the past, present and future but, unlike other tellings she doesn’t gradually realize how nasty she is until the last moment and then she suddenly switches and is a nice person. This alone makes her transformation less than believable. Not a really bad movie, but it lacks the heart of several of the other versions. For the best see the Alastair Sim version with the George C. Scott and Patrick Stewart versions running a close second.
