"A man that is born of woman hath but a short time to live and is full of misery. He cometh up and is cut down like a flower.'"

Was another adaptation of Charles Dickens' A Christmas Carol really necessary, especially with several excellent retellings already available on home video? The answer is probably not, but that didn't prevent this 1999 made-for-TV iteration of A Christmas C... read more

A Christmas Carol: Best to Worst (9 movies items)

" Pros:- Patrick Stewart is surprisingly good as Scrooge - It's a well-made production Cons:- It's too by-the-numbers. There's nothing new here."

A workmanlike retelling of the iconic tale

“"A man that is born of woman hath but a short time to live and is full of misery. He cometh up and is cut down like a flower.'"

Was another adaptation of Charles Dickens' A Christmas Carol really necessary, especially with several excellent retellings already available on home video? The answer is probably not, but that didn't prevent this 1999 made-for-TV iteration of A Christmas Carol from being made. Patrick Stewart spent years performing a successful one-man version of the story on stage, thus it was logical to preserve Stewart's interpretation of the infamous Ebenezer Scrooge on film. Luckily, the resultant picture does possess a certain charm, and it manages to encapsulate the magic of Dickens' enduring classic.

" It suprices me how many times i can watch the same story and not get bored with it. I really love A Christmas Carol. It has to be one of my favorite stories. I had never seen this adaptation of it untill i saw it on TV tonight, and i liked it. Patrick Stewart was a great Ebenezer Scrooge. Michael Cane is still my favorite tough."
