Sigh. Where to begin? If there had even been a half decent attempt to remain true to the period, this might have been decent. Instead, they chose to put jazzy, Broadway-esque forgettable songs in Victorian England. If that was the score you wanted, you should have modernized it.
Then there's the casting - Luke Evans as Scrooge was a horrible choice. He over sings anyway, but as Scrooge? Here's a man who is supposed to be elderly and he's singing and riffing, belting out these songs like the young man he is. No. Just NO.
Horrible acting...horrible script....horrible music. I'll take Muppet Christmas Carol over this any day of the week.
