An interesting re-telling of the Dickens classic, and a cut above most Lifetime movies. The cast does a commendable job here, and the film has a nice look to it.
But there are a few really weird moments: the Ghosts of Christmas Past costumes (but a nice bonus, see below); the character of the Ghost of Christmas Yet To Come, who looks like Mike Hammer; and the company Christmas party (held in a department store?).
The script also glosses over how Ebbie takes over the department store, and the payoff on Christmas is somewhat undeveloped.
If you're a Carol buff fan or a huge Susan Lucci fan, it's worth a viewing, otherwise skip it.
One bonus: watching Jennifer Clement (as one of the Ghosts of Christmas Past)in a harem costume top which is little more than a bikini top.
