Review of Ebbie

Ebbie (1995 TV Movie)
7/10
Yes, all right I shed a tear or two
20 December 2017
I've seen qute a few adaptations of the class Dickens tale, it's hard to mess it up with the exception of the musical version (OK it's not that bad) they are all watchable. This one has a different take with a female Scrooge and Cratchet which predates the black female version Ms Scrooge.

Thankfully the story is pretty much the same so no surprises, unless you count the double act Ghosts of Christmas past. Most of the acting is pretty good for this level of production. I note previous reviewers slagging Taran Noah Smith for his portrayal of Tiny Tim. OK not the best performance but then he wasn't given the best lines. The worst bit was him singing, could have lived without that bit but you can't blame Taran for that.

Overall I enjoyed it and yes I did shed a tear but then I'm a bit of a softie for these sort of things.
