I smiled and laughed through most of this show. It makes me think how much more enjoyable school plays would be for both the children and the audience if they were presented like this performance. Anything that would go wrong would just be part of the play and everyone would laugh. It is just what it is supposed to be lighthearted fun.

Ms. Scrooge
(1997 TV Movie)
A little modernization of the Christmas Carol
16 December 2015
This is a well done version of The Christmas Carol. Giving a more modern taste to the setting and characters. I like that Scrooge has become a black woman, showing that not every tightfisted miser must be the typical old white guy. Ms.Tyson is excellent as a 20th century Scrooge. Michael Beach is also very good as her nephew and Reverend of the neighborhood. Katherine Helmond as Marley is over the top fun, I would have like to have seen more of her as a ghost.
One complaint is that the director didn't pull more emotions from some of the actors. With a few exceptions, much of the time people were in the middle of the road emotionally. Afraid to be too joyous or too desperately downtrodden. But overall a nice holiday movie to add to the season.
