Jim Carrey stars as Scrooge in this classic Dickens Christmas tale.  The cool thing is that it’s all animated and in 3D!  The animation is breathtaking, especially with the action sequences.  It’s a decent family movie, but you should keep the little ones at home.

This was scarier than I thought it would be.  The haunting spirits can be intense at times, and I would imagine they would frighten kids 7 and younger.  However, since it was frightening at times, it pleases adults so they don’t have to sit through a cheesy holiday flick.

This movie will hit many emotional buttons, but sometimes it forgets about your funny bone.  Carrey is excellent as Scrooge, but I feel like this movie just assumes you know the story.  I think that if I didn’t know the story and saw this movie, I still wouldn’t know much about Scrooge. 

Who to take to this movie: family and friends who like the story

Don’t see this movie if: your kids scare easily
