Susan Lucci stars as ruthless business-woman and shopping store owner Elizabeth “Ebbie” Scrooge in this updated retelling of Dickens' “A Christmas Carol”.
The classic tale in
which she is taught the true meaning of Christmas by three Spirits who visit
her, has been brought into contemporary times.
It is refreshing in
this version to have the main character of Ebbie played by a woman as indeed is
her beleaguered employee Roberta 'Robbie' Cratchet played by the ever-reliable
Wendy Crewson.
The spirits are given
some modern handling and the way Jake Marley communicates with God by
cell-phone is very amusing and all in all it’s a very enjoyable adaptation.
