Mister Scrooge to See You

BEWARE OF FALSE REVIEWS & REVIEWERS. SOME REVIEWERS HAVE ONLY ONE REVIEW TO THEIR NAME. NOW WHEN ITS A POSITIVE REVIEW THAT TELLS ME THEY WERE INVOLVED WITH THE MOVIE. IF ITS A NEGATIVE REVIEW THEN THEY MIGHT HAVE A GRUDGE AGAINST THE FILM . NOW I HAVE REVIEWED OVER 300 HOLIDAY FILMS & SPECIALS. I HAVE NO AGENDA.

This film was a interesting idea but the attempt is a misfire. It does have a few moments that work but as a whole the film is as good as a fruit cake.

The writer/director of this film should of had someone else do a polish of the screenplay. This was also a case where it looks like he hired "friends" and his "Friends Let Him Down". In other words the casting was bad.

Before I get to that let me tell you what the story is. It has been a year since Scrooge had his visits from the ghost. Now a changed man his old business partner sends Scrooge into the future to save Tim Cratchit the VI. He is now as angry as Scrooge was.

There is clever moments where the classic lines from "A Christmas Carol" are incorporated here. However that only echos the problems with this film.

Now the biggest problem with this film is the casting of Matt Koester. HE is terrible in the part. He over does everything. Had this been a stage performance then he would of been fine but in film "Less is more".

There is other things that do not work but there is far to many to list. David Ruprecht however does save this film from being a total waist of time!

I would like to stress that when a film starts throwing off "Bible Versus" it becomes hard to enjoy the film. There is many people out there that find this insulting. I know this is a Christmas Theme movie and Christmas is about the birth of Christ but, "A Christmas Carol" is about redemption not about someones faith. Its about living and appreciating life.

This was such a trainwreck i couldn't stop watching. Seriously if you are considering giving it a shot don't... you might get trapped as well.

Yes, there is somewhat of a cheesy factor about this movie, but it was done in the spirit of the Christmas season. I thought it was quite a comical and halfway decent film. It certainly rates higher than a 4.5 star, for sure. I'm not sure why it has such low reviews. Someone else adored it and gave it 10 stars and that didn't even boost the 4.5 star it currently has. I hope more people get to see this movie and come on IMDb to give it more of a thumbs up than a thumbs down. It's a time-travel kind movie. Don't discount it just because it has a lower rating. See it and judge for yourself.

I was expecting the usual Christian "B" movie, with an unknown cast, tiny budget, and tentative acting. Ok, there is that... BUT... it's a very clever modulation of the Dickens tale that I find clever and uplifting. A must see!

In Mr. Scrooge to see you we learn just what Paul Harvey called the rest of the story. A year after those ghosts at Christmas altered his outlook on life, Scrooge takes in Bob Cratchit for a partner. And the firm continued as such down to the present day and even went international as now they are a real estate firm with offices in the USA.

One thing the creators of this film forgot was that Ebenezer Scrooge did have a nephew named Fred who married and presumably also had descendants. I'm wondering where they were as the present Timothy Cratchit shows Scrooge like behavior at Christmas time 2013.

Matt Koester is the current Crachit and old Ebenezer time travels to 2013 to share what those ghosts gave him back in those Victorian times about the joy of Christmas. Koester wants to foreclose on Shannon Moore and her coffee shop. Truth be told Moore really is a bad businesswoman, but has a good heart.

Mr. Scrooge To See You looks like it was shot on a budget in four figures. The players who but for Ruprecht it's unlikely you ever heard of any of them are sincere enough. The direction they have is uninspired though.

I still want to know where Fred Scrooge's descendants are?
