THE BEST CHRISTMAS MOVIES EVER – WE'RE SCROOGED (2023)

 

A curious reworking of Charles Dickens well spun yarn of redemption.

This retelling of the story is about two people, Sarah Russell and Scott Mayford (Tamara Duarte and Andrew Bushell), former high school sweethearts, who parted ways after college, who have spent the intervening year focussed on climbing the greasy pole.

And it’s their careers that make them return to their hometown to attend their 10-year high school reunion which is why they are visited at the hotel by the Ghost of Christmas Past, Mr. Fletcher (Sergio Di Zio), their old high school counsellor who shows them some key moments from their past.

The following night the virtual Ghost of Christmas Present, J.O.I. (Rebecca Lamarche) visits them and opens their eyes to things happening in their own lives.

Finally the Ghost of Christmas Yet To Come, Nick (Paul Dick) visits them on the third night, and shows them their future selves to highlight all the things they gave up achieving their goals and remind them of what they meant to each other.
