Meh, it’s fine. Reynolds and Ferrell are fun, but the film looks pretty bad (for $75 million, you’d think they’d be able to afford some decent green screens) and is objectively too long (127 minutes??).

"Spirited" (11/18/22, 120 mins, Apple+) stars Will Ferrell and Ryan Reynolds in a definitely different take on the Cmas classic.

This could've been something you'd want to see annually but it's warped by Hollywood's liberal/progressive values yet again, but if you're under the age of 25 you probably don't even know or care. Anyway, the storytelling is further marred by it being a musical, and even that's forced. It's mostly karaoke-quality singing especially when done by Will and Ryan and even the characters often exclaim "oh no, not another one." Will Ferrell, sporting a facelift, seems to be the only one decently cast for this. Ryan is way over-qualified and Octavia Spencer - just how did they talk her into her role?! Again, this could've been Great with better casting and much less singing.… Expand

A modern spin on Charles Dickens' classic 'A Christmas Carol ', this musical film sees the Ghost of Christmas Present (Will Ferrell) attempting to help redeem a vain, arrogant, and selfish businessman (Ryan Reynolds) and to see the errors ofA modern spin on Charles Dickens' classic 'A Christmas Carol ', this musical film sees the Ghost of Christmas Present (Will Ferrell) attempting to help redeem a vain, arrogant, and selfish businessman (Ryan Reynolds) and to see the errors of his ways. Little do they both know they have plenty to teach each other along the way. I wasn't too sure what to expect with this one, but I decided to give it a shot, and while it's got its fair share of heartwarming and cute moments, it can't help but feel a little too generic and derivative at times. Ferrell and Reynolds make for a funny duo, however, and even their singing is surprisingly good. Supporting performances from others such as Octavia Spencer, Tracy Morgan, etc. are also enjoyable enough, and the songs, while also not feeling the most inspired, are still fun enough to watch thanks to the singing chops of all involved. While the film does feel a little longer than it should as well and becomes a little more convoluted by the end, it's still a charming enough Christmas ride while it lasts. Overall, fun albeit generic musical sequences, charming and enjoyable performances from all involved, and a slightly overstuffed and scattershot story all add up to make for a somewhat clumsy yet still merry and fun enough time.… Expand

The set design and the over use of green screens was very distracting, Will Ferrell was miscast. Some of the music was ok but not nearly enough.

Along with the performances and laughs, the music in this film is about right. It's not quite a good movie, but it's getting there.

It's not quite a good movie, but it's getting there. There is undoubtedly something lacking, and I believe the story's excess of loose ends is the cause. I'm not sure, but it could be the dancing or the length of the movie. Will Ferrell also has some standout moments, and there are some fantastic scenes. In order to prevent excessive singing, the director should have made better use of the cast, such as with Octavia Spencer or Ryan Reynolds. The film's overarching theme probably does a good job of rescuing the plot's remaining unpleasant scenes.… Expand

Please filmmakers, the next time someone suggests auto-turning the casts' vocals, tell them "Good afternoon!"… Expand
