An enjoyable and credible reworking of Charles Dickens well spun yarn of redemption.
This retelling of the
story is of a driven and heartless publishing executive, Carol Huffman
(Emmanuelle Vaugie) who on Christmas Eve is visited by the ghost of her former
boss, Eve (Carrie Fisher).
Eve tells Carol that
she has lost sight of the things that are truly important in life and that she
is there to show her the errors of her ways.
There is a wonderful
reference to Dickens in the tale when Eve explains why the normal trinity of
ghosts were all represented by her alone, as she was in sole charge of Carol's
journey through her past, present and future, and that was because “Chuck” was
prone to over embellishments.
It’s very much worth a
watch if only for Carrie Fishers mischievous Eve.
