6. A Carol Christmas (2003)



Directed by: Matthew Irmas
Written by: Tom Amundsen
Starring: Tori Spelling, Nina Siemaszko, Dinah Manoff, William Shatner, Gary Coleman

Modern reworking of A Christmas Carol, the Scrooge role being translated into a daytime TV talkshow host.

Another desperately dull film, occasionally enlivened by the appearances of Shatner and Coleman. Coleman looks exactly the same as he did in Diff'rent Strokes, which provides pretty much the only laugh in the whole sorry effort. Spelling is fine (and quite attractive), but she's hampered by the material. I think she could be pretty good actress if someone gave her a decent script to work with.

1/5
