Will Ferrell and Ryan Renolds. Kinda Scroogish. Actually a musical.

B-

Holiday entertainment. Kids liked the music.

Watched and liked it. It was familiar enough to love it as a Christmas movie, and new enough to keep me on my toes. I laughed, the music was great!

Music is from the same team that put together Dear Evan Hanson and The Greatest Showman. Plus they played off the whole "not another song" thing well.

A- for me.

They are just like movies, but with more singing.

Right. I just don't get how people like singing in movies. Just talk, yo.

Cause music is fun. Movies are fun. Why not combine them.

Just don't get it. But to each their own.

I honestly loved it, musicals can be fun, the new take on the Christmas Carol worked for me, the production of the songs were very impressive

If you don't like musicals, you might still enjoy this one because they kind of make fun of themselves, they know the signing is hokey and they embrace it

I don't like musicals usually and I actually enjoyed this one. A couple of parts that it would have been better without but overall enjoyable. Also did a good job of both Ferrell and Reynolds making fun of themselves in it in subtle ways.

Fully expect someone to adapt it to a Broadway Show at some point. Pretty much ready made for that.

This. They went all in, guns a-blazing. Reminded me of this scene often:

I'm not a musical guy, but since the singing doesn't add anything as far as the plot, I just ignore those parts and surf Texags or get up and get a drink or something.

Action scenes bother me. Yo. Just fast forward to the result. I know I'm odd that way.
