The first reviews are in for Spirited, Ryan Reynolds and Will Ferrell's modern musical twist on A Christmas Carol:
The first reviews are in for Will Ferrell and Ryan Reynolds' Spirited — and it sounds like a fitting gift for Christmas Present. The holiday musical comedy is being heralded as a fresh and fun spin on A Christmas Carol, the oft-told tale about the miserly Ebenezer Scrooge's life-changing encounter with the Ghosts of Christmas Past, Present, and Yet to Come.
Los Angeles Times:"'Spirited,' the umpteenth screen incarnation of Charles Dickens' evergreen 'A Christmas Carol,' is such an amusing, buoyant and good-natured entertainment that it's not hard to forgive this flashy musical-comedy-fantasy's missteps. Grinchy viewers, however, may sing a different tune."
The Associated Press:"Though 'Spirited' comes up short as a musical, it is still pretty enjoyable. Perhaps that's because it is just so stuffed with everything else: If one part doesn't totally work, there's plenty else in the four-quadrant buffet to sample. In addition to the committed leads, there are comedy gems from Christmas Past , Christmas Yet-to-Come , Pasek and Paul's easily digestible pop ballads and Octavia Spencer's lovely singing voice.
