What made me interested in this movie was that it was taking the story A Christmas Carol, by Charles Dickens, and doing something different with it by making the characters aware of the story and getting to see how the spirits do their job; after watching this movie, I had a fun time with it. The Christmas movie Spirited (2022) was a fun time with catchy songs, a nice Christmas feel to it, and Ryan Reynolds and Will Ferrell are great together; the movie takes what you know about the famous story, A Christmas Carol, and shows you what it is like behind the scenes with the spirits, which is done in a cool way.
Will Ferrell and Ryan Reynolds are both great in the movie, with them both being equally funny; I did like Will Ferrell as the ghost of Christmas present who wants redeem people and at some point, settle down with someone when he chooses to retire, which is why I liked how he does his job and trying to deal with certain problems involving his past or Clint Briggs trying to know more about him and what he wants. Ryan Reynolds as Clint Briggs has done things that effects his family or the company he runs, but as the movie goes on you see why he did these things and that he had a difficult past; his performance leads him to be very funny, but also gives heartwarming scenes if needed. Also, Octavia Spencer was incredibly good in both her performance and when she is doing a musical number, plus you understand her character and what she goes through working for someone who does not make good choices during the Christmas season.
I like the idea that the ghosts of Christmas past, present, and future did not just redeem one person, like in the story, but they help redeem other people who are jerks throughout the years during the Christmas season; plus, what happens to a spirit when it retires and how they turn into spirits I found interesting, along with seeing them putting memories together for a specific person for their job. The songs were catchy with well-done dance choreography; there was also nice cinematography in multiple scenes in the movie that looked pretty, and the effects were also not bad, especially with some use of a green screen.
Spirited (2022) is that bad of a movie to watch around the holidays; the movie has a great comedy and singing performances from Ryan Reynolds and Will Ferrell, catchy songs that are nice to listen to, and a nice fun Christmas feel; along with some touching heartfelt moments. If you want a Christmas musical to watch, and you like actors Ryan Reynolds and Will Ferrell, then you enjoy this movie; this is not going to become a Christmas classic or anything, but it will be entertaining and a fun movie that people should have at least given a shot.
