Did you people see the same film I saw?

Entertaining from beginning to end, it maintains the spirit of the franchise while establishing it's own seal with a fun cast

This is a small, humorous movie in some ways, but it has a huge heart. What a nice experience.

This is a coming of age storyline that you've seen in one form or another for decades. It takes a truly unique voice to make yet another one worth watching.

No spoilers here unless you're unfamiliar with A Christmas Carol, as this thing, um TV movie, is an attempted retelling. What we have here are actors who are either unskilled or wholly uninspired(and if so, no one can blame them). They mostly sleepwalk through a soul-less, shallow, Christmas Carol in which Scrooge learns to become slightly less selfish, morally bankrupt, and generally horrible to the mostly equally horrible people in her life. Instead of feeding the poor and starving, our Scrooge here redeems herself by feeding celebrities via gift certificates to a restaurant . Really. The best part of the movie is when Jacob Marley/Cupid makes her grand final exit. I was laughing, though the scene was intended to be grand and touching. Redeeming qualities? Well, hmm. OK, the cast are pretty much all eye candy. The lighting and camera work were fine for a TV movie. And I give it points for making me laugh for feeling like the bad boyfriend dodged a bullet while the good guy got stuck with a lifetime of misery. All in all, no Christmas spirit to be found here, and not much of a cupid. I think they called it Christmas Cupid because Christmas Stupid was too honest.

Badly over acted movie full of unpleasant, unrealistic characters. There are a couple of people here who like it which means I guess it appeals to someone. The movie lacks depth, sincerity and character development. It was painful to watch and how I ever endured it to the end, I will never know. If you're looking for a movie with some intelligence and warmth with a bit of that Christmasy feel to it, you won't find it here. The movie is emotionless and shallow. Don't waste your time if you have a reasonable IQ.

It won't win any awards, but it just might win... your heart! (Ha ha, I made you read that.)But seriously... I didn't think this would be a good choice for me, but I gave it a go.For the first 10-15 minutes I was thinking this was the worst movie I'd seen in a while. Everybody was so irritating!! Then the ghost showed up and it got nutty. From that point on, despite the predictable plot, the details of how we got there were (mostly) fun to watch and I got some good startled chuckles out of moments of disbelief.It really is rather thin and even offensive if you take it seriously, but if you can loosen up it's enjoyably tacky -- not a phrase I ever thought I'd need! I could have gone with a 6 or a 7, but I was generous because I really did have a surprising amount of fun watching this silliness. I think everybody involved knew they were making a cheesy movie, and that's why it works on its level. It knows what it's trying to do and it doesn't try to squirm away from that. If that's not your cup of tea, well, there are lots of other Christmas movies for you.Oh, and yes, the dead hottie was the cupid. Duh. I guess that in itself is the litmus test for a lot of viewers: if you're offended by it, this is so not your movie. If you're still with me, give it a watch. I'm lost as to why that would bother anybody, but maybe I'm unusually cynical or something.

I read some of the 1-2 star reviews. All I can say is that they must be good time haters. This movie is just an update of the Christmas Carol by Dickens. It is just a feel good movie that has been upgraded to the current times with the Scrooge character changed to a woman. I enjoyed it quite a bit. Of course Christina Milan doesn't hurt as I think she is very nice. The acting is decent and in keeping with the theme, what do you want for a feel good Christmas story? I think that if you don't really like a movie like this that your Christmas spirit is pretty low. Of course there are a lot of bah humbuggers out there to try to ruin the season.
