Ok. It's all over the place but the reworking and twisting of the oft-filmed classic is a lot of fun and Reynolds and Ferrell you get exactly what you expect. The songs are not especially memorable but the musical set pieces are fun and the lyrics very clever, in fact the script keeps things fizzing all the way the through. It's hard to get grumpy about a film like this as it's so good natured and you really would have to be Scrooge or a film critic not to enjoy it. Some of the cast, especially Octavia Spencer are underused but families will enjoy their night on the sofa watching this. The ending was a nice surprise.
