Spirited Review: Ryan Reynolds And Will Ferrell Take An Amusing ‘Scrooge You’ Attitude To Christmas Musicals
a homage even noted in the rat-a-tat snarky script here by John Morris and Sean Anders , the latter who also directed.with a whole slew of new tunes featuring some of the blessedly most cynical lyrics ever to be sung in a holiday confection like this.
The premise here is that there has been a centuries-old operation run by no-nonsense Jacob Marley who enlists the ghostly trio of Ghosts of Christmases Past , Present , and Yet-To-Come to “redeem” some very Scrooge-like souls each year — as we discover early on with their current target, a mean-spirited white suburban woman named Karen .
The real action switches to modern-day New York City, where Present has convinced a doubting Marley that he can actually work his magic on a truly “unredeemable” souless marketing executive named Clint Briggs , who uses underhanded ways to exploit and spread hate, and particularly social media bile, to sell his stuff. Nothing is off the table with this unscrupulous guy.
