1/10 (could've been 0). Here's why:


IT'S CHRISTMAS, CAROL! is the worst of the adaptations. Not just because it's boring, but because I actually agreed with CAROL (who represents SCROOGE) on some things. At times she's a cold-hearted bitch, but at other times she's just a business woman who thinks about profits before dreams. I thought that Emmanuelle Vaugier would be a star by now. Putting it in perspective, I realized that I thought of that because I've seen her in many shows and movies; not because of her talent. I'm not saying she doesn't have any; just that it wasn't my focus. I don't remember her past roles enough to judge them but, here, her performance is bad. She tries to be a grumpy woman, but she comes off as someone who pretends to be mean out of boredom. When her mom tells her about how she dreamed about the future, CAROL completes her sentence, revealing that she had seen it. However, her mom didn't notice it. Maybe she is a bad mother after all. When CAROL tries to remember the title of A CHRISTMAS CAROL, EVE starts to name Christmas movies. At one point, she mentions STAR WARS, which is an in-joke (EVE is played by Carrie Fisher). Ummm... It would've made more sense if she had said THE STAR WARS HOLIDAY SPECIAL. Oh, I forgot. Nobody wants to acknowledge its existance.
