5.0 out of 5 stars an original twist on "A Christmas Carol", December 20, 2006

This review is from: Chasing Christmas (DVD)

I loved this film! I highly recommend it to kids and adults. It's a modern take on the classic Dickens story, "A Christmas Carol." I've seen a few versions of "A Christmas Carol," so I picture bleary blizzards, old grumpy guys, and poor, poor little Timmy--so depressing. But when I saw this film, I was pleasantly surprised at how funny and original it was. It's set in modern day, and dad (played by the always entertaining, Tom Arnold) hates Christmas 'cause it reminds him of his awful divorce. And all his daughter wants for him is to enjoy Christmas and move past his past. Cue the ghosts--but this time it's not what you expect, ghosts don't always cooperate...I won't give away any more, you'll just have to watch it. It's the perfect film to get in the holiday spirit!

3.0 out of 5 stars New look at an old story......, September 30, 2008

This review is from: Chasing Christmas (DVD)

I own every version of Dicken's Christmas Carol that I can find, and they all have their good points. In "Chasing Christmas" the "scrooge" character is about as unlikeable as any I've seen, because this one is the dad of a beautiful teenage girl who longs for a normal Christmas. Her dad, who is embittered about Christmas because he caught his wife cheating on him on a Christmas Eve 7 years ago, hates everything about Christmas. Of course there are the usual Ghosts of Christmas, but in a unique twist, the Ghost of Christmas Past is also embittered at the world he sees now, and wishes to live in the past himself. Scrooge and Christmas Present embark on a funny and touching race to find "Past" before midnight, when everyone will be stuck in the past forever.
Not the greatest version of the classic, but a fun and likeable one.

3.0 out of 5 stars An American Modern Christmas Carol, January 2, 2008

This review is from: Chasing Christmas (DVD)

There are several versions of "A Christmas Carol", and even if this may not be called that the story is basicly the same. Tom Arnold hates Christmas because his ex-wife cheated on him with his dentist on Christmas Eve. When he finally becomes enlightened by things he has no control over with the visits of Christmas spirits, it begins to sink into his head that he doesn't have it so bad. A reasonably decent romantic comedy for the holidays. Recommend you rent it first unless you are a huge Arnold fan.
