I watched this after a drink with a friend on xmas eve, and at first we thought it was just a bad, low budget movie. We then realised it is actually unintentionally extremely funny.
Firstly, the guy doing Scrooge is stupidly over the top (sometimes nick cage level). Every other reaction he made, I burst out laughing. Bob Cratchit is a woman but they decided not to change the name for some reason, so he just calls her Bob.. Instead Of tiny Tim being ill its Bob Cratchit's husband Tim who has cancer.. OMG IS THIS FILM FUNNY.
The dialogue is utter nonsense at times which was great xD. At one point some girls are collecting money for a heart charity and scrooge suggests instead of money the ill people should get arsenic or perhaps... electric shocks from cattle prods. (did I miss something? it made no sense LMAO).
For some reason lots of people are dying young in this movie: Marley is about 30, Ginny from harry potter is in this (great acting btw) and she dies young, Bob cratchit's husband is dying, scrooge sees his future grave, which makes sense in the original cos he is old but in this he is about 30. In modern Britain why is everyone dying? There's also a weird scene with a random youngish guy that was laid off from his job and is now just limping around picking up pennies for survival, which would make sense if it was 1819 not 2019.
Scrooge is a complete caricature, outrageously unbelievable, insanely heartless rich guy. special effects are from the 90s. Generally the acting and lines were not good. But that made it too funny!!
Definitely watching this movie again. Why had I not heard of this movie?? good for drinking games. Entertainment level: 11/10!
