Mister Scrooge to See You

In Mr. Scrooge to see you we learn just what Paul Harvey called the rest of the story. A year after those ghosts at Christmas altered his outlook on life, Scrooge takes in Bob Cratchit for a partner. And the firm continued as such down to the present day and even went international as now they are a real estate firm with offices in the USA.

One thing the creators of this film forgot was that Ebenezer Scrooge did have a nephew named Fred who married and presumably also had descendants. I'm wondering where they were as the present Timothy Cratchit shows Scrooge like behavior at Christmas time 2013.

Matt Koester is the current Crachit and old Ebenezer time travels to 2013 to share what those ghosts gave him back in those Victorian times about the joy of Christmas. Koester wants to foreclose on Shannon Moore and her coffee shop. Truth be told Moore really is a bad businesswoman, but has a good heart.

Mr. Scrooge To See You looks like it was shot on a budget in four figures. The players who but for Ruprecht it's unlikely you ever heard of any of them are sincere enough. The direction they have is uninspired though.

I still want to know where Fred Scrooge's descendants are?

David Ruprecht's Scrooge ironically works his mouth a bit like the old grinch W. C. Fields who hated Christmas but the Scrooge in this is definitely a post-transformation Xmas lover. Perhaps Ruprecht had been watching Rich Little's 1978 W. C Field type version of 'A Christmas Carol' while leading up to his role in this. Jacob Marley somehow transports Scrooge in time to 21st Century America where he has to adapt to busy modern life. Ruprecht apart the acting is not all that good but I got to like the characters even Timothy Cratchitt towards the end. I should point out that it is Tim Cratchitt who is the meanie in this version. This low-budget and gentle production cheered me and had me chuckling at times especially Ruprecht's performance. I thought that it was going to overstay it's welcome but there are some comic little twists at the end that just about merits it's long-running time. Strangely enough I find this faith-based version seemed to pleasingly cut down on some of the sentimentality and lectureship of Dicken's original story. I think this is the first 'A Christmas Carol' version I've seen where a period character (Scrooge) is given chance to deal with an out-of-period world. The 2019 British TV 2-part adaptation of the story remains in Dicken's time period but it's dark and dreary and foulmouthed take would probably have the author turning in his grave. Whereas I like to think that 'Mr Scrooge To See You' would meet with his approval and have Dickens smiling on his cloud from on high.

It has been over 150 years since "A Christmas Carol" was originally told. The film has gone to made into more movies, television movies, plays then almost any other book.

I am not sure if anybody has ever tried a sequel before but here someone did and they screwed here.

SInce we all know the story so well the film should have focused on the newer characters more carefully. They didn't. They cast this film with people that try their best with a pedestrian script.

This film also drags on & on. The same story could have been better with a tighter script. In fact if the cast talk a little faster then maybe the film might not of been as bad.

In this film its one year later. Scrooge is "Sent in to the future" to tell "Tim Cratchit the Vii" mend his ways.

Well you know how it will end! It just takes forever for it to end.

Yes, there is somewhat of a cheesy factor about this movie, but it was done in the spirit of the Christmas season. I thought it was quite a comical and halfway decent film. It certainly rates higher than a 4.5 star, for sure. I'm not sure why it has such low reviews. Someone else adored it and gave it 10 stars and that didn't even boost the 4.5 star it currently has. I hope more people get to see this movie and come on IMDb to give it more of a thumbs up than a thumbs down. It's a time-travel kind movie. Don't discount it just because it has a lower rating. See it and judge for yourself.

The concept of a sequel to "A Christmas Carol" was questionable to begin with. Then add time travel we open up a huge can of worms. That is what this is "A can worms".

The once mean and miserly Ebenezer Scrooge was forever changed by his ghostly Christmas Eve encounter. Now one year later, Scrooge receives another posthumous visit from his old business partner. It seems Jacob Marley is not yet finished with Mister Scrooge! Sent on a journey 170 years into the future, Scrooge encounters a world even colder and greedier than his own, a world that includes a young cutthroat businessman named Timothy Cratchit VI. Will Scrooge be able to turn Cratchit from his selfish ways and teach him the true meaning of Christmas?

Now this film isn't terrible but it makes zero sense. Any film that deals with time travel is always tricky. What I liked about this film was that dialog that we heard in the countless films and books is once again repeated here by different people.

The blessing this film has is they have a great actor that played Scrooge. David Ruprecht is great. He plays all the layers of Scrooge that we expect but also shows a few new things that I am sure that other actors in the future will copy.

Now if I were to make a "Sequel" to the classic tale I would have had the Cratchit Children track down Scrooge's long lost love and have them reunited on Christmas Eve. That would of been a better to approach a sequel. But then again who can compete with "Charles Dickens".
