THE BEST CHRISTMAS MOVIES EVER – A CHRISTMAS KAREN (2022)

 

An amusing reworking of Charles Dickens well spun yarn of redemption.

This retelling of the story is about Karen (Michele Simms), an entitled middle-aged woman whose demanding nature has alienated her neighbours and family.

She is a heartless grinch, racist, xenophobe, and homophobe, who hates everyone and everything and is seemingly irredeemable, however after a series of instances displaying her privilege and prejudice, she receives an “intervention” by some unconventional spirits.

Karen is visited in her Florida home on Christmas Eve. by the ghost of her former boss Jackie Morley (Meghan Moroney).

She tells Carol that she has lost sight of the things that are truly important in life and that she will have further visitation to show her the errors of her ways and save her from her own fate.

Her first visitor is Gary, the Ghost of Christmas Past (Rolin E. Alexis), followed by Joy, the Ghost of Christmas Present (Leyla Lawrence) and finally Damon (Lee Karlinsky) Ghost of Christmas Yet To Come.

Between them they open her eyes to her behaviour and show her what she is missing out on and help her discover the true spirit of Christmas and mend the rift between her and her brother Todd (Clint Robinson).
