| Chicago Sun-TimesRoger Ebert[Delivers] more or less exactly what you'd expect, given the material. |
| Los Angeles TimesMark OlsenA gay-themed adaptation of Charles Dickens' "A Christmas Carol" made in Chicago. One can more or less imagine the entire film from there. |
| User ReviewChristian CAfter watching the umpteenth version of "A Christmas Carol", this unique, silly and modern telling of the tale was rather refreshing. The acting is weak, the editing is pretty bad and the lighting is sub-par, but it has a a few original musical numbers that are quite a bit better than one would expect from a low-budget independent film. I was entertained despite the problems. The director has done a lot with what he had to work with. It's a holiday "recommend" in my book. |
