 A Must for Christmas Lovers November 8, 2008
Lisa Maria Smith (Hope Mills, NC)
1 out of 1 found this review helpful
Patrick Stewart is the PERFECT Scrooge. I own this version and watch it every single year. It never gets old. It's one of the best "A Christmas Carol"'s I have seen. It always puts me in the Christmas spirit. I highly recommend it to anyone who loves Christmas movies. It's a perfect movie to watch over Thanksgiving weekend to get yourself in the spirit.
A wonderful version of a classic. October 23, 2008
Larry Pound (Hartford, CT)
Patrick Stewart is masterful as Scrooge. Stewart's Scrooge is rich and true to the written story. In addition, Stewart is supported by a wonderful cast including Ian McNeice as Fezziwig, Richard Grant as Bob Cratchit and Saskia Reeves as Mrs. Cratchit.
Although relatively minor characters in the story, McNeice, Grant and Reeves are perfectly cast and enrich the production. In particular, I found Saskia Reeves' Mrs. Cratchit to be absolutely wonderful. She played the part so beautifully that she WAS Mrs. Cratchit. I have seen many productions of the story, but Reeves' Mrs. Cratchit was the best. Richard Grant was a first class Bob Cratchit and Ian McNeice gave a sterling portrayal of "old Fezziwig." Of course, many have noted the quality Joel Gray's Ghost of Christmas Past and he was excellent in the part.
With the support of such excellent actors, and a first class production...costumes, sets, etc., this was a wonderful version of a classic tale. Stewart is a great Scrooge and in my opinion, this version of Dickens' story is one of the very finest every produced.
Most accurate, awesome movie! September 18, 2008
C. Hayes (stix, MS)
This movie was the closest Ive seen in comparison with the book. I love this famous Christmas story, and since there are so many different variations out there, I couldn't help but read the book. I was very impressed with how close this was with the book. I really love this version.
Another Retelling? February 17, 2008
B (Grand Rapids, MI)
I was leery of another retelling of a classic that i have enjoyed on the stage and yet I was stunned by what i saw.
Patrick Stewart IS Scrooge, his long time experience in a one man show has perfected his Scrooge down to the gruff bah humbug and the rusty old man cackle. Pure Enjoyment is as close to how i feel about this movie.
Not since the theater days have i found a Scrooge worthy of the part and here is one that shines above all others.
Patrick Stewart Shines February 9, 2008
Dennis Carlson
Patrick Stewart shines in this faithful adaptation of the Dickson's classic. Stewart has a great supporting cast, especially in Bob Cratchit and family. But for the multi-talented Stewart, this is a tour-de-force. Whether you're a Patrick Stewart fan (and who isn't?) or a Christmas Carol fan, this movie is a must.
