I have seen every style of A Christmas Carol pretty much out there. We all know how many there are. The issues I had with this one are many. The fact that they turned it into some weird musical is a little too much for me. Whenever they opened their mouths to sing, I'd get out my phone and distract myself because the songs are awful. To be honest, all these numb songs are my major complaint. The reason it's huge, is because of the sheer volume with these numb songs. What was the film's saving grace you ask? Tim Curry. His talented voice acting as Scrooge, was both a tiny bit terrifying, and down right spot on. I have seen a lot of his voice acting and regular over the years, and he always works. But in this adaptation of a Christmas Carol, it wouldn't be worth watching without him.
