The plot has been upended, while a snappy approach to comedy modernizes the approach, including a Judith Dench cameo. Ferrell is a bit toned down (as is Octavia Spencer) and Reynolds shines with his usual comic charms. The plentiful songs are pleasant and tuneful, while the staging shines on spectacle and energetic dancing. Given the star power, this new holiday treat will entertain with lively musical numbers and hip references, while managing to hold onto some Holiday heart.… Expand

Spirited brings some freshness to A Christmas Carol. A clever comedy about the spirits for once. Some songs either aren’t that great or drag on too long. The song “Good day to you” should have been nominated though and gets some good laughs.

I am not usually a fan of the Christmas Carol, because I find this tale a bit too old fashioned. But this felt fresh! I really enjoyed this. This was a good time.

I really enjoyed this. This was a good time. This is definitely a Christmas movie, and it's a good one. I am really recommending this, but I don't know if a lot of people have apple+. Perhaps that's a shame, because this film deserves an audience.

I had doubts about the musical angle at first, and in the beginning it started to feel like padding, but I really got into the ambiance and the style after the first 15 minutes. And there are that many songs, they never feel out of place. While there are a couple of scenes that looked a bit green screen-ish, this film has a good production, good songs, and great dance scenes, and the story is a really good twist on the Christmas carol.… Expand

Honestly expected this to be terrible, but there were some genuine laughs and genuine feeling in this film. Happy we watched it, and I’m sure it will become part of our regular Christmas movie rotation.
