This is a long movie. It feels like it takes a long time to get through it for what it is, its premise and story and all.

But that being said, it's not horrible.

There are a couple of times that I actually chuckled.

Out loud and genuinely.

The lead actress is actually quite good in her role as the title character.

This feels a step above a direct to dvd type film. To me, it almost feels like one of those Hallmark Channel Christmas movies.

It has that look.

Maybe that was its goal?

Other actors who play the ghosts are decent as well.

You see, the storyline here follows the same pattern as A Christmas Carol with the Karen being a Scrooge-type character, which makes total sense.

It also makes this less of a one punchline joke of a film more suited for a TikTok video and more of a fully realized film which is good and effective.

But it also forces comparisons to far superior films and their takes on Dickens' classic.

I hit play on my TV expecting to watch 5 minutes of this and turn it off. Surprisingly there were a few really funny parts that kept me watching, mainly Jackie, Karen's deceased best friend. She was the best character. I was expecting some Christian garbage that you see on Pureflix but it had a lot of dirty jokes and it wasn't overly preachy. The actors do a decent job, which is uncommon for a low-budget movie. I really hope more "Karens" watch this so they can learn to mind their own business and not call the police over minor inconveniences. It's not a classic, but I'm not angry I watched it. Maybe I'll watch it again in a few years during the holiday season.

Wow where to even start with this one. I woke up the next morning and felt like I'd been through my own Xmas Carol rendition - did this movie really happen last night??? Yeah I was inebriated but still I'm not sure if this movie is real or not.

Some of it is straight up asylum style david decoteau levels of bad acting and sets. Some of it is actually funny jokes that work. Some of it is almost meta and making fun of itself.

It's a retelling of a Christmas Carol with the 3 ghosts and everything. One is a zombie looking homeless lady with a sign in the street, one is a fabulous gay man with amazing fashion sense, one is an Australian 50s housewife who may or may not be pregnant, and the last is a skater/EDM looking 20 year old kid.

Imagine if Ebeneezer Scrooge spent the entire opening act complaining about various drinks and sending them back - then apply that same drubk logic to the rest of the story - and you get the idea of this movie. Oh and don't forget the CHILDHOOD CANCER SUBPLOT.

You've honestly just gotta watch it cause the end is wild and makes no sense.

THINGS I LIKED: I hate never seen Michele Simms in anything before. She did a great job painting the "Karen" we've all come across over the years.

Each of the ghosts was unique and entertaining.

I love segways! It always makes me laugh when someone rides one in a movie.

Entertaining special effects.

The humorous dialogue made me laugh on the inside and outside at times.

THINGS I DIDN'T LIKE: It's definitely a low-budget movie. I imagined how much better it could have been with a bigger budget and an A-list starlet in the role.

There are some bad acting moments.

You probably won't recognize most of the actors in this.

So many offensive moments that will make you cringe.

So many missed opportunities in the script.

This cinematic offering, though intriguing in its premise, failed to hit the mark for me. Falling into the grey zone between good and bad, it struggled to embody the festive spirit one expects from a Christmas movie. The narrative lacked the humor that typically defines the genre, leaving the audience wanting for those hearty laughs that make holiday films memorable. What's more, the predictability of the plot hindered any potential surprises, robbing the viewing experience of the excitement that comes with unexpected twists. Regrettably, I cannot wholeheartedly recommend this movie to others, as it lacks the essential elements that would make it a standout choice for festive or comedic entertainment.

An entitled "Karen" who intimidates and bullies all those around her discovers the meaning of Christmas via three ghosts who show her her past, present and future. I only expected to watch this for a few minutes but found it quite amusing and even touching at times. It's obviously the umpteenth version of Dickens' "A Christmas Carol" with the new cultural icon (Karen) at its center but it's a fun movie despite the well worn plot. Michele Simms is really quite enjoyable as the horrible Karen who might have some good reasons for being so horrible. Rolin Alexis, Leyla Lawrence and Lee Karlinsky are also quite entertaining with their modern takes on the Dickensian ghosts (I particularly liked the portrayal of the ghost of Christmas Yet to Come as a nervous gamer dude who still retains a menacing edge.). It lacks the professional sheen of a big Hollywood release and there are a few awkward moments where the screenplay doesn't quite work but it's been awhile since a movie surprised me and this one definitely did.

This is a low budget, fun movie. I could see some people being turned off by that fact - the effects are bad, the writing is so so, and the story is obviously just A Christmas Carol with the main character changed out. But what these types of movies offer is carefree fun without ever taking itself too seriously. No 30 minutes of dialogue, needless romance, 'artistic choices', etc that bigger, more expensive projects tend to get into.

That out of the way, it's a really fun movie. It's ridiculous enough to make you laugh a few times, but stays true enough to the original to actually make for a really heartwarming movie that'll have you choking up by the end. And while none of the actors are big stars, they for the most part pull their weight really well.

I wish more would make movies this fun. Highly recommend.

As a fan of Christmas Carol stories, but having a harsh hatred of Karens, I was curious going into this one how I was going to enjoy it. I really did overall! The cast had a lot of fun with it, and it's a very modern take on the classic tale. It had quite a few laugh out loud sequences while also tugging at the heartstrings at the right moments. It really completes the gambit of an emotional rollercoaster, all wrapped up in a Christmas bow. I think this will definitely fair better with an older audience, who might be exhausted at the amount of Carol options on streaming. But for sure, there are a lot of "Karens" out there who could take a lesson from this one!

I had zero expectations going into this film, but a good friend liked it and I value her judgement.

I agree the 'Marley' of this film was just off the charts fun, and a great character to act no doubt. The films Crachit family is also well done, and is show don't tell. The script wasn't heavy on emotions or details like most versions of Dickens are, but that worked for it in my opinion. To have had the character or World too heavy with the sort of person who she's supposed to represent would have been to the films disadvantage. The film is a fun poke at the type of person associated with that name, not a message they tried to beat into our skulls.

A few laughs, plenty of wry smiles and nods, and don't take it seriously going in and you'll be fine.

This was horrible. Had to turn it off. I want a refund from Amazon. She's not even a Karen. Whoever wrote this needs to go on TikTok and learn what a real Karen. This was clearly a lazy attempt to get some holiday sales. I should've known when I watch the first few minutes of the movie that it was the same as the whole trailer. That should've let me know right away to not even waste another minute. This is so over-the-top and ridiculous. The characters that are introduced. If you're going to have Christmas Karen, you can at least make it about how Karen's actually act in the world. Do not recommend.

I cannot believe that people thought this movie was good or funny. We suffered through the whole thing, I should have shut it off after ten minutes. The movie is incredibly bad. The script is, a slanted take on A Christmas Carol, utterly ridiculous. It's clearly a cheap movie, the lighting and camera work is amateur. The sets are cheap, the special effects are similarly amateur. The music is either really bad or cliche or both. The acting is terrible, and terrible is being kind. Karen being a Karen was almost tolerable, Karen being a good person is the epitome of cringe worthy. Please, don't watch this drivel.

Not funny at all! Acting is horrible! Special effects are garbage! I don't understand how this movie got a green light to be produced.

A Christmas Carol had a message, but the writing, acting, and screen adaptation was a lot better than this junk.

The ending had me wondering if the actress was in a mental institution, and every scene the audience sees is in the mind of the main character only. I didn't feel concern or compassion for anyone in this very bad movie, and I didn't feel like celebrating Christmas or spreading any kind of cheer.

I do NOT recommend watching this crap. Not even if you have alcohol. Trust me, it won't help.

This was really bad. So bad that we shut it off after about a half an hour.

The acting and filming was terrible and super low budget as was the music which didn't seem to fit.

This could've been a pretty funny movie, but I thought the lead actress wasn't funny at all and neither was the ghost of her ex-boss - that's as far as we got.

This seemed very forced and really wooden. While Karen's are a thing now, and deserve to be completely lambasted in the movies, this one wasn't doing it for us.

I recommend that you avoid this one and look for something else that isn't so self conscious and poorly put together.

I don't like the expression "Karen". I never use it. I don't like when other people say it. It's a stupid label that I wish would just go away. So with that said, I wasn't expecting much from "A Christmas Karen". This movie turned out to be quite a surprise. There are quite a few laughs in this movie. The cast is likeable. Sure, some scenes work better than others but there are no deal breakers. The movie is also a little bit too long. Ten minutes shorter would have helped. I don't know if I'll ever revisit "A Christmas Karen" but you never know. Stranger things have happened. Honorable mention: a dreamy Ashley B. Jones.

Oh No! I'm not like that! There are some good Karen's out there! I Promise!! I was told Once that I should find a Lawyer & get my Name Changed! I was Like I was born with this Name.😢 I'm Gonna Be A Karen for the Rest Of My Life.😂 That's My Name Don't Wear It Out lol!! There are few Parts in there that would be me there 😆😂.. I feel like everyone would Consider us Karen's as The Scrooge "OR" The Grinch! The Carrie Underwood who is from my Home State. But there was no Such Barbie Doll under her Name when I was growing up! I was told the Name is a known like a Red Flag! 🤔😢 There are some good Karen's out there.

I was looking for a new Xmas movie, something lighthearted and funny. Something to half watch whilst wrapping presents and enjoying a few too many JD's.

Well, I got through the JDs but not the present wrapping because I ended up watching the movie instead and loved it!

Never heard of any of the cast or the director but I sure recognised the story.

Yes it's a different take on scrooge and sure if you're an anti-woke angry kind of Karen or Ken then you best avoiding this.

But if you're not highly strung about modern life and are looking for a few good laughs and some pretty decent entertainment then give this a shot I am sure you will love it too.

If you don't like it, just call the assistant manager haha.

At first glance, A Christmas Karen feels like more of the same story you've seen multiple times a year, and in many ways it is, but the fact that it is does not take away from the charm, entertainment, and heart that it brings. Michele Simms is so delightfully terrible as Karen, so much so that it took me a little longer than usual to empathize with her, but eventually I came around. I like how all of the ghosts are unique in their characterizations and how they are all memorable in their own way. I absolutely adore A Christmas Carol, and this modern retelling does not disappoint in warming the heart and making me smile just as much as any other version of the tale.

I watched this with zero expectations. It was hilarious! I didn't read any reviews until after I watched it. The only reasons anyone would give it a terrible review would be because they are, themselves, a Karen. The cast was filled with new actors. They did amazing. It was nice to not have to think beyond a Hollywood star to get to the character.

There were many current cultural references which made it relevant. They could have overdone the whole Karen thing but they did a great job balancing the humor with the original story line of the almost 200 year classic story. Who knows if it will become a "must watch" Christmas movie down the road but it sure works for now.

Watching this on Freeserve, my assumption was that.it would be a cheapo, and it is. It is a bit amateur, and kind of lurches across a range of emotions, from humourous to silly, to cringeworthy, to poignant.

I didn't like Michele Sims's portrayal of Karen, whereas to my mind a "proper" Karen is simply stressed, deluded and possibly on something, this one has more of a genuinely malicious streak.

It's pretty predictable, which isn't a problem as we already know the basic premise. It's basically a silly, occasionally juvenile seasonal fun, and whilst there are plenty of holes the viewer could pick, ironically at this time of year, to spend much time doing so would reveal the viewer's inner Karen.

This is a movie we watched with no expectations. It was really funny and enjoyable. The acting was descent for people I hadn't heard of and this take on a Christmas Carol was fresh and original. This was nice because a Christmas Carol has been worn out so many times but they put different and new life into it. I will be watching this every year because it gave me a laugh and had a good story line. I recommend this movie. I'm not sure how anyone gave it less than a 5 because it was original and well written and out together! It also pokes fun at so many "Karen's" we could run into! Can't wait to watch it again.

This movie was a holiday surprise. It was laugh out loud funny and had a modern twist to an old classic. "Karen" was very relatable and portrayed that role well. Good casting, excellent script and directing. This is worth your time watching, a new Christmas tradition for our family. There were some touching elements to the story, definitely a story written about inclusion. Fun for all ages! This is one you can watch over and over again. A unique and fresh take on the ghost of Christmas past, present and future. Good special effects, excellent costumes and scenes. Jon Binkowski did a fabulous job!
