Ebenezer: The Traveler

First off, if you're looking for perfection, just stop doing that. Perfect doesn't exist. Story telling exists. Heart exists. People exist. And none of those are perfect.

The truth is though, this is a good little holiday film. It's not huge budget star padded studio offering by any means, but it definitely outpaces a lot of the Hallmark and Lifetime quality independent films.

There's a clever story here told in a sincere way, and that's the heart of it all. You're going to be taken somewhere new on the screen, and along the way in your own heart and mind.

Like I said, it's not perfect. There's shortcomings, particularly with accents and occasionally acting. Some almost get it and some just don't quite make it, but that's about any film, even with big name stars.

The technical side, the visuals and the sound, and the music, are very good for something outside of a studio production.

But the main thing this film has is a heart, and a message, that comes through without beating anyone over the head with it. You have an entertaining story that takes you along for the ride, and along the way maybe leaves a good feeling in your heart and some good thoughts in your head.

Some of these reviews I just don't understand on both sides of the spectrum. My feeling is that a lot of the 1 stars are just personal attacks, and a lot of the 10 stars are typical hype.

The truth lies somewhere between, on the upside of the middle. Personally, I'm giving it an 8. In a world full of knock offs and flashy empty shells made to just fill content, this isn't.

Probably not a holiday classic, but a good little holiday film.

I wasn't sure what to really expect but I was pleasantly surprised. It looks as good, or better really, than anything on Hallmark or Lifetime, and it definitely had a much better story. Not the same cookie-cutter drivel.

This was a continuation of the original story of Ebenezer Scrooge and A Christmas Carol, which has been redone to death. Instead we get to see what comes next, and it was a little surprising.

There were some nice twists, some clever Easter Eggs to the book, and overall a fun little emotional roller-coaster that reminds us how important it is to keep the faith in ourselves. Without being preachy. If anything, this is how stories used to be. Entertaining first.

There's a great song and a pretty funny end scene that reveals one thing and suggests a whole other, which maybe we can look forward to.

Definitely give a recommendation. Only cropping off one star because you do have to forgive some of the accents.

Overall though, they tried and succeeded with this one.

It wasn't exactly what I expected, but it was cute. The story was clever and I really enjoyed some of the new characters, especially Fan, who I think is really the star of the show. What she does to Scrooge's tea is tame compared to what I would have done, but I guess it is a family friendly film. Lol

Some parts really tugged at my heart strings, and some parts ticked me off, and some others I just laughed. And a couple I almost swooned. The guy from Sons of Anarchy whoever he is... oh my. Show me more. Lol

Anyway, this, a glass of wine, and my spot on the couch made for a pretty good after Christmas evening.

An absolute turd of a movie, I love American movies, shows etc but they should not be doing scrooge in any format, casting horrible, acting even worse.. This was pure torture and a crime against dickens., they might just as well have used the cast from high school musical, if I had a choice of watching this or watching paint dry, the paint wins every single time, I could have sworn I lost a few iq points sitting through this pile of garbage... Dont do what I did, when you see this movie.. Walk on by, and keep walking, get a bus to the airport and then fly away to a Country where there's no WiFi and no chance of ever seeing it.

"Ebenezer The Traveler" is a unique film. The main character, Ebenezer pairs perfectly with everyone he encounters in his travels. This film is interesting, funny, uplifting and of course entertaining. It's a great addition to your Holiday favorites. There is much detail in the costumes and scenery. The locations are realistic and well chosen. The use of song was just the right touch and blended seamlessly into the story line. People of all ages will enjoy this lovely film. It should be a go to, especially for the Holidays. Ebenezer The Traveler is truly an example of a group project. It is obvious that much love, time and expertise went into making words on paper a reality. I highly recommend viewing/owning this film.
