I wasn't expecting much from this version of A Christmas Carol. But I was very pleasantly surprised.
Okay, so Susan Lucci does seem in some scenes to be acting in her soap opera, but mostly she does extremely well. She plays the menacing and the kind sides of Ebbie convincingly.
I enjoyed this film, it is very heartwarming the best part of the film is the second half.
Highly recommended!!

I love this movie too and I'm a man, lol!
I am hoping to see it on again this year..

This is definitely one of the better versions of "A Christmas Carol" around, perhaps the best one played by a woman.

Not a big fan of this. The performances were pretty cringe-worthy all around and the comedy didn't really work. I expected to like this more, but it was rather disappointing.
